– VOUNOT® Polytunnel Greenhouse 4x3x2m 12m² Poly Tunnels Gardening Walk In Pollytunnel Tent with Steel Frame

1. Assembly & set up I've ordered the largest one of the ones offered. The set up is very easy. The simple 2 sheet instructions follow a similar pattern so you don't need an IKEA style science degree to put it up. It's recommended to have 2 people to put it up. I've done it alone and with someone and it makes sense as the initial set up needs a counterweight or support. It is possible to set up alone if you are savvy but an extra pair of hands really makes sure there is no strain put on the bolts & frame. 2. Sturdiness Now, initially, I've secured it with many heavy duty tent pegs. However, I found out it wasn't efficient on its own. They do recommend it to dig it down and I have. Too shallow initially, as due to its sheer size, it was unearthed on occasion. However, I dug it deeper down & secured it with boulders, tent pegs and zip ties for the cover at the base (see pictures attached). It is well secured, solid structured, the cover is pretty thick, the inner straps (although few in number I found them to be sufficient with all other things added since the frame and the stitching wrapped around nicely). 3. Value for money I feel its good quality. We have been happy and impressed with it so far. You could say it would be nice for some pegs to come with it but it depends on where you place it and how well you dig it down. In our allotment it was getting direct flow from the wind. If you don't have much experience, be safe rather than sorry. 4. Service Prompt and efficient delivery. Had an issue initially with the first polytunnel however I contacted amazon customer service & it was fixed instantly. Was very impressed. Happy customers overall!

Wow, this was a nice surprise! Quick to build, well made and resisted a couple of days of strong windy stormy days! I had to but additional long pegs but other than that it’s great. The windows are handy, good zips on the door. Nice size. Quick delivery as well. Loving it.

I've bought this to enclose my boys swimming pool which is just under 2m in length and my idea was that this can help to warm the pool water up and keep it warmer for the summer as well as protecting the pool from debris not to mention insects etc getting in. Plus if it starts raining my boy can still use the pool. Yes it does help to warm the pool up quicker due to it's greenhouse effect and yes it also helps to keep it warm during the night. Putting it together does need 2 people in my opinion just to keep things a bit more sturdier as you attach each pole section but once built it actually feels quite sturdy. Yes it's lightweight steel which makes it easier to lift and put into place despite the number of pole sections needed to construct it. It's tubular steel which helps to make it lighter. The cover appears to be quite sturdy too with reinforced weave that goes through all the cover. The cover is attached with little velcro straps which in my opinion there could be more of and longer to improve the design. I feel that the cover needs more attaching straps. Other improvements could be a better set of door zips. The zips on this cover whilst being ok should be heavier duty. As for added stability I've zip tied the frame to the swimming pool as well as tucked most of the bottom of the cover under the pool legs. I think with some minor improvements this could be a better product although tbh I've enjoyed putting it together and then reinforcing certain areas. It's managed to stay put without any damage in some mild windy weather although the wet weather will make the roof bow in due to the weight of water unless you manage to get the cover really tight this will happen. The tunnel has zippable sides too as well as windows for ventilation so you've got plenty of options. I also like that you can get replacement covers should this get damaged or rips in it provided the frame remains intact that is. Priced at just under £70 at time of review is reasonable and is a great way of enclosing a similar sized pool. For its intended purpose as a greenhouse and growing stuff then I can imagine it's just as good but for added stability I can only recommend you definitely make sure the bottom edges are tucked in or dug into the ground as well as securing the framework a little better like I did. I'd be worried if this was 'freestanding' and the possibility of wind getting under the bottom and lifting it so make sure you can secure it down somehow because it is lightweight. I'll revisit the review if I see any issues with this polytunnel when we get any strong winds but for now we're quite happy with it for what we use it for and to go over a swimming pool it does help to keep water warmer for longer. Just be wary of chlorine gas build up inside when not in use and you're using chlorine tablets or granules, let it vent out a little before getting inside. I'm happy with the tunnel and sure the manufacturer will make some minor modifications to make it that little bit stronger and secure in the future.

I, like many other reviewers was initially happy with this tunnel. It is the first time I bought a round one as I found that the shed shape ones attracted the birds to sit on the point of the roof and their claws pierced holes through it. So a round roof would solve that problem, which it has. The problem I have now is that less than a year in I noticed the rain was getting in via holes where the poles had rubbed through. I sealed those with flash tape. However, the rain was still getting in. I then noticed, as others have, that the whole thing is degrading away and the little squares are all little holes, it is now wet through inside and smelling of damp. Everything inside is also damp and green. I need a whole new cover, which lets face it, does not mean the same will not keep happening. This is obviously a manufacturing fault that needs addressing. The only good thing I can say is that its still standing throughout all the storms we've had recently, its just not keeping the rain out. Question is, do I buy a replacement cover and hope it stays intact or buy a shed shape one and try to reinforce the roof to stop birds claws going through? These should last a lot longer than a year, as previous ones I have had have done.

This is good for the price. Cheep and cheerful. Frame work is simple enough to put together. Recommend two people for the cover. Frame little flimsy so I’ve had to add some reinforcement to the frame and you will absolutely need to find a system to anchor it to the ground. Will simply float away on an average breeze. The seams can and will separate so it’s a balancing act on how firmly you stretch the cover over the frame. All in all I’m pleased with it using it to grow veg inside and set my seeds away. Even if it lasts a few seasons I’ll be happy.

good

Works fine only for 1 season. By the time the cover starts to tear apart, the metal parts start bending due to strong winds. Finally, after 1 winter, it is useless..

Transport catastrophique... la caisse en carton était déchiré et il manque des pièce mais le service après vente a était niquel et a envoyé toutes les pièces manquantes! Très satisfait

Obwohl in den letzten Jahren grundsätzlich die Qualität der Produkte oft zurück gingen, kann ich sagen, dass dieses Produkt sehr gut ist. Seit 8 Jahren habe ich diese Art von Folien Zelt in meinem Garten und bin sehr zufrieden. Dieses ist mein 3 Zelt in den acht Jahren. Ob Tomaten, Gurken oder Salat, alles gedeiht sehr gut. Mittels den 6 Fenster kann man die Wärme gut regulieren. Einziges Manko, der Reißverschlüss an der sogenannten Tür, hat nach einem Jahr ausgedient. Ansonsten alles sehr stabil. Läßt sich gut aufbauen. Bleibt bei mir immer stehen, ob Sommer oder Winter. Gut verankert hat es auch starke Windböen ausgehalten ohne Schaden zu nehmen. Empfehlenswert, sehr zufrieden.

Bra och stark plast. Tyvärr gick en dragkedja sönder vid installationen. Om man förandkrar den ordentligt i marken så fungerar det bra.

Fantastic, the material is very goid

Perfetta!
