Polytunnel Ground Covers

With the right ground cover, weeds are less likely to grow. At Premier Polytunnels, we stock heavy-duty ground cover membrane designed to protect your produce from unwanted additions in your polytunnel.

Our black, heavy-duty UVI garden ground cover has less than 0.5% light transmission, while still allowing water to be easily dispersed through into the ground without collecting in puddles. It’s also tear-resistant, easy to clean, and includes handy grid lines designed to help you evenly space out pots and planters.

Plus, at 100gm, it’s 10% thicker than standard ground cover solutions and the inclusion of UV stabilisers ensures it offers a long effective life. Browse the range below and mix-and-match the sizes to fit your polytunnel.

Trestle Staging

If you’re planning out where you’d like to place some planters and pots in your polytunnel, staging is a useful addition to any growing area. Here at Premier Polytunnels, we offer a selection of simple, yet robust trestle staging options for your polytunnel.

Take your pick from our practical and portable polytunnel staging and shelving solutions. These can be easily moved to where you need them and folded away when you want to free up room for other types of fruit, plants, and vegetables.

As well as being easy to move around your polytunnel, these staging options are easy to assemble. They have simple folding legs and no tools are needed, so you can decide where you’d like to position your table and quickly make it upright in seconds.

Thanks to the slots in the top of each bench, air circulation, even temperature, and drainage are all taken care of, keeping your plants healthy. This means that, in addition to being suitable for polytunnels, they’re ideal staging for greenhouses and garden sheds.

Superior polytunnel shelving and staging

At Premier Polytunnels, we know the weight of a pot or tray when fully watered and appreciate that it needs a strong base to support this weight. That’s why our wooden trestle staging is made using 50mm x 22mm planed treated timber. This timber is pressure treated to protect against rot and is more robust than similar products on the market that use 19mm x 38mm roofing laths.

In addition to being robust, they have the ideal dimensions for creating a comfortable working space. At 28 inches high, they are high enough to work on, but not too high for you to lift heavy pots onto. They’re also 6 feet wide and 22.5 inches deep, so you have plenty of room to add the planters and pots that you need.
