Garden polytunnels are usually delivered in disassembled bundles and boxes via a national freight courier. A standard 10ft x 20ft polytunnel kit would typically consist of 8 packages. The longest length of any package delivered with a garden polytunnel is 8ft (or 10ft if you have double sliding doors) and with an approx diameter of 6in, meaning that you can have your polytunnel delivered to your home address, then transport it to your allotment in your car on a day that suits you.

Most commercial polytunnels will be delivered by a courier on 1-2 pallets measuring up to 3.6m long. Large commercial polytunnels can weigh more than 1000kg. The goods are strapped onto the pallet in bundles which are manageable by hand and can be handballed off the pallet if no lifting equipment is available at the delivery address. (Please note, if no lifting equipment is available, it will be necessary for a minimum of 2 people to be available at time of delivery to assist with unloading the goods).

Please Note: Delivery is made by a national courier and we recommend that customers are at the delivery address on the day of delivery.

There is no reason why our polytunnel frames, which are all made from Z35 high tensile galvanised steel tube, would not last 20 years and more. The polytunnel cover will need replacing periodically, although the polythene we supply has been developed with resistance against polythene’s deadliest enemy – sunlight. The additives in a polytunnel cover prevent UV degradation for up to 4-5 years and it is not uncommon for a cover to last 8-10 years. The cost of replacement polytunnel covers is minimal.

Generally you do not need planning permission for a domestic size/garden polytunnel. However, there are sometimes exceptions to the permitted development regulations (the rules for what does and does not need planning permission), therefore it is always best that you contact your local planning authority if you have any doubts.

If the polytunnel meets with any of the following criteria, you should contact your local planning department to determine if planning permission is required (it will not be required in all cases):

• If the polytunnel would have any part forward of the front of the house.
• If it is more than 3m in height.
• If it would be within 2m of the boundary of the site and would be more than 2.5m in height.
• If it results in more than 50% of the area around the house being covered by buildings or structures that was not part of the original house.

Planning permission may be required if the site on which you intend to construct the polytunnel has a listed building or is in a Conservation Area, a National Park, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, or the Norfolk or Suffolk Broads – There are further restrictions to planning within these areas.

If the polytunnel would be for commercial use or any other use that is not "incidental to the enjoyment of the dwelling house".

If you want to build a large commercial polytunnel or more than one polytunnel, or if you have any queries or questions, please contact your local planning department for further advice.

If you are thinking of ordering an allotment polytunnel, you may need to check with the allotment committee which may have specific rules about the sizes of polytunnels allowed.

If you want to build a Sheep House Polytunnel for use as an agricultural building on your farm, you do not need planning permission for farming operations and if there are permitted development rights on the farm.

• If you want to change how you use your land or buildings from farming to something else.
• If you want to build a house on the land.
• If you are applying for a grant for a project that needs a building or other development.
