Hi, need to get three quotes for a lambing polytunnel, only small say 40' long, any suggestions of firms to ask would be appreciated. Thanks.

Cool, will pm.

Would still appreciate a couple of recommendations for new, need to present 3 options for due diligence, thanks.
We've got a sheephouse from Premier polytunnels. Bought exclusively on price at the time as were counting the pennies.

Very good, put it up ourselves, the sheet is black on the outside and white inside, so easy to repair with silage tape when I poke a hole in it!! Sheet has lasted 5 years no worries.

Very pleased

Thank you for the recommendations. Ended up going budget, we will see how many seasons to lasts for but at £1180 worth a punt.

I need extra space at lambing time. Thinking of going down the polytunnel route rather than steel frame. Any advice? Thanks
Ideal for lambing, plenty light and very airy , go for a single span not multi span particulary if you’re in an area that has a lot of snow , get it professionally covered. Ours coped ok with 60mph gusts but do creak a bit , just go away for the day if it’s very windy, just try and get a shelterd site

100% - ours (we have 2 150ft) are in a pretty exposed location. They tend to snake and it freaks me out! Withstood 75mph but I worry every time winds are forecast. That is the biggest downside for me.
