Following the fantastic success of ‘The Polytunnel Handbook, this Brand New Book by Andy McKee & Mark Gatter gives you the tools you need to make the most out of every precious inch of covered space throughout the whole year. It gives an overview of activity through the seasons and includes a chapter written specifically for newcomers to polytunnel growing. The book provides a detailed season-by-season growing guide including plants for the polytunnel, helping you plan for the hungry gap and dealing with pests.

Mark recently visited the First Tunnels allotment to catch up on all that’s new and to talk about his new book. Both he and Andy have used First Tunnels products for quite some time – incidentally they have feaured a First Tunnels Polytunnel on the front cover!

Made from galvanised steel, crops bars are fixed across the intermediate hoop at head height.(excluding the two ends)

Another beneficial effect of Crop Bars is they also help strengthen the Polytunnel, providing extra protection against heavy winds on particularly exposed sites.

First Tunnels make crops bars for use exclusively on their range.  However, they can make crop bars in any size to suit other makes of Polytunnels.
