The unprecedented weather patterns in the United
Kingdom can be from one extreme to the other and because of the UK’s short
growing seasons, this impacts on commercial growers, small businesses and
farmers. Commercial polytunnels UK wide, have proven to be extremely beneficial
in both the cost factor and in providing a protected environment to suit all
types of crop-growing and has the added benefit of enhancing and extending the
UK growing season.
Polytunnels offer really good protection from
the vagaries of the weather and offer crops excellent controlled growing
conditions.
The nature of the different sizes of
polytunnels, allows commercial and small businesses to produce a range of
different seasonal crops and for large machinery to enter the polytunnel
environment, to help tend the plants or crops which can be grown from floor to
ceiling. Large-scale producers will try
to benefit from every bit of growing space within the polytunnel, these very
flexible growing solutions suit many types of crops that perhaps would not be
particularly suited to be grown in an open field.
They are very cost-effective and when
constructed and installed correctly will recoup any costs back to the business
in a matter of years, that said any type of tunnel that is left out in the
elements will require regular maintenance checks and cleaning procedures to be
in place. These factors can save a lot of time and money in the long term.
Types of different polytunnel covers can be used to individually suit the crop
being grown and like anything else it will need replacing after a certain time,
this can be from 4 to 5 years and with good care may even last 8, 9 or 10
years, especially with the thicker gauge polyethene’s available.
Naturally there are certain disadvantages
with any type of polytunnel, if you do not have a temperature control system to
react in temperatures below zero degrees you will need to take action manually
to protect young immature crops.
Commercial tunnels, due to the size and
length, are prone to the impact of powerful storms and extreme weather
conditions from cold to hot, this is why you need to check for small tears,
correct tension within the cover, and for vents or doors left open to let in
the weather.
Certain sprays can be used as a shading on a polytunnel
cover, or you can use netting to shade plants and crops, there are different
polythene colours used for certain crop types. Most commercial growers
understand that these types of builds will require a budget for maintenance
checks for replacement of covers, fixtures and fittings, as well as spares and
accessories for single span, multi span and bespoke commercial builds.
