think so
depends on size..look on ebay...over 20ft need hoops concreted in
yes if you're skilled....no if you're a bodger like me

Probably supply erectors, if required. You can do it yourself, but as said, concrete in the hoops, clad sheet on a hot, sunny day, with plenty of help.

I've seen them sheeted with a space heater underneath to warm up the sheet so when it cools it contracts tight onto the hoops. I've seen them sheeted in the cold with no form of natural or mad heat and go very saggy in a short space of time.

got mine from northern polytunnels via ebay....also premier polytunnels
what do you want it for....if you're going to pay to put it up you're perhaps better considering steel portal

I used to work for these.
All depends what it's needed for.

Think it depends on your local councils interpretation of planning as some accept them as temporary structures and some do not, but if no body can see it what's the harm, Northern polytunnels pretty good, think YouTube has erecting instructions
have a potential diversification that my wife is interested in taking forward that would need one, pretty sure it would fall under agricultural / horticultural use though, she has more time on her hands now our children are a bit older and at school full time, very much at the research and feasibility stage right now however

think you're right....one pt out of sight is one thing....a whole host roadside is another
also if you need to concrete in then it could be argued planning needed
it would be is a position that can bee seen, 200m from nearest property other than our own though which is why it needs to be a smart job and not a DIY bodge

Can poly tunnels ever look smart?

We spoke to Haygrove a while back, very helpful people and when we decide to put one up that’s who we will go with.

well if it's growing stuff then yes pt....but if it were for say an indoor farmers market or something like that i'd be tempted to consider steel portal....if you're looking to dodge planning be careful cos the end use could matter...eg if you had sheep in one the planners might roll their eyes and say ok....but if you wanted to sell sh cars from one they'd say 'oi he's trying to circumvent planning'....if that makes sense

Got to be growing cannabis I reckon. It’s usually what goes on in the smaller polytunnels round here anyways.
I've seen some that are certainly smarter than others, I can tuck it away from direct sight of my house but others will be able to see it from a distance in the location it needs to be
actually thinking opium poppies have a much better gross margin ;-)
