They are a bit small was looking for like a mini livestock one

Your next agricultural show. I got a 50% discount for taking one down and removing it after the show, then got a 50% grant from the government. But that was back in the good old days when I could get a grant on such things. Can't remember the dimension off hand but it was adequate for lambing a flock of ewes. Sold it later after I'd given up the sheep for rather more than I'd paid for it. He who does not ask, does not get!

Put the dimensions you’re looking for in to Google.

Had a 120’ x 30’ we used for lambing backing in the day then grew veg (cucumbers, tomatoes, aubergine, peppers and squashes) when the lambing was over.

Its not the polytunnel thats important its the plastic you cover it with. Get it wrong and you will be disappointed with the results. We have 4 different coverings depending on what veg we want to grow in the tunnel.

I’ve the frame of a ‘poly tunnel’ available for a few beer tokens. Was previously a cover for a swimming pool that is now filled in and should just need new plastic.
Being in Wiltshire it may be a little for for a north east farmer? Depending where they are north east of

Think this is the horticultural side of northern polytunnels.
Always got plastic off them. One at moment has been on 20 years at a guess

Would not touch with a barge pole now. First tunnel plastic I had from them lasted 10 years which I thought was acceptable in our exposed situation. Replacement struggled to last 4 years and with having 2 x 40 mtr and 2 x 20 mtr tunnels that becomes tedious having to replace a tunnel every year. Problem is the visqueen plastic is much thinner then it used to be and shreds along the folds of the plastic were it has been stored on the roll. After the worst one shredded after only 8 months complaints were made to the manufacturer who attended site and shown various types of plastic all with the same splitting along the folds problem. They refused to do anything about it so told them where they could stick their plastic. Still looking for an alternative.

That's not good. Was there a choice of plastic thickness?
