Fresh and Organic Produce Grown In Polytunnels

Image
  We rely on small and commercial polytunnels to cultivate a raft of crops and plants, from small polytunnel kits to multiple giant-sized housings. All may require the additional services of companies that provide major repairs, total polytunnel refurbishment services, or installation and construction services. UK growers need these vital services, whether for commercial polytunnel purposes or medium and small polytunnel kits. We significantly rely heavily on fresh produce and food imports to meet our ever-developing taste and produce demands, sourcing from a diverse range of countries. Some of our top suppliers of food products include France, Italy, Africa, Germany, Chile, Ireland, and the Netherlands. Both Spain and South Africa majorly contribute, with Spain exporting thousands of tonnes of various fresh fruits and crops. Morocco, Turkey, and Peru have also increased exports, particularly spices, herbs, and fruits, such as berries and avocados. One of the reasons why polytunnel...

Bespoke & Commercial Structures Require Experience & Equipment to Install

  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...

Why Some Polytunnel Manufacturers Become Suppliers and Others Do Not

  Polytunnel companies can be both manufacturers, as well as polytunnel suppliers, of various shapes and sizes of framed housings we see in fields or gardens around the UK. Polytunnels or hoop houses, are durable structures used predominantly in agricultural, horticultural and garden or allotment operations growing a plethora of crops, plants, seedlings and cuttings, protecting and safeguarding them from adverse weather conditions, extending growing seasons, and enhancing the healthy production and efficiency these different size and shaped structures come in. As the demand for food increases these controlled environmental and protective solutions also increase and so do their uses. Some polytunnel companies manufacture as well as supply them directly to consumers, while other polytunnel suppliers focus solely on the supply chain to individuals and business customers in various industries.   Manufacturing vs. Supplying The difference between manufacturers and polytunn...
