How Warming UK Weather Affects Crops in Polytunnels

Image
  Commercial and domestic polytunnels provide a robust protective environment and an ideal growing space, but can pose unique risks when UK temperatures rise, due to poor management. The UK is experiencing warmer weather due to global warming, with heatwaves becoming more prevalent and severe. Current and future weather trends pose real challenges for agriculture and horticulture operators, but particularly for crops or plants grown in controlled and covered domestic and commercial polytunnels.   Poorly Vented Domestic and Commercial Polytunnels Polytunnel coverings trap heat and humidity inside a protected space, creating a warm microclimate that supports and induces crop growth. Crops and plants can then be sown or potted. During extreme or excessive heat, the inside temperature in small domestic polytunnels and much larger commercial structures can rise to harmful levels.  Heat buildup can cause stress to crops and plants, due to poor or inadequate ventilation and temp...

Making them the focus of marketing campaigns and newspaper advertisements from different types and grades of manufacturers producing small polytunnels for sale.   On the other hand, large commercial polytunnels are more complex and specialised by size, design, and require a build using more robust materials, with a pro...

Bespoke & Commercial Structures Require Experience & Equipment to Install

Image
  Polytunnel companies that provide installation and construction services for bespoke and larger commercial polytunnels, using a heavier and bigger range of materials to complete them are a recognised and complex process, that demands specialised knowledge, advanced tools, equipment, and precise, meticulous planning. These projects differ significantly from smaller builds, such as garden-sized or allotment structures in terms of their build scale and the construction resources required. Understanding the significant differences highlights why experienced tradesmen and proper tools are indispensable for larger and multiple complex commercial polytunnels, concerning installation and construction.   1. Scale and Weight of Materials The most obvious distinction between heavier commercial polytunnels and bespoke structures rather than smaller builds, is the scale of the project and the grade and thicker materials involved. Polytunnel companies are often asked to develop, bes...
