Every single bit we needed was in the kit that arrived. Read, read the instructions and then watch the videos and read the instructions again. We plodded through it one step at a time a 5 days later we had ourselves a polytunnel. I am sure if it was the 5th one we had made it would have been faster but we will probably only ever make one. The screw things for fastening the steel tubes are not that effective better to premeasure and drill holes out in a vice with a drill bit ( and I went through a few of them!) |

Firstly I feel it relevant to say that we're polytunnel newbies. We've never owned or built one before but we are DIY savvy with history in construction. We did our research before selecting First Tunnels to provide us with our first polytunnel and we've not regretted a single thing. Our 35ft long by 10ft wide Polytunnel came excellently packaged in many parts so as not to be too heavy, but as expected there were some extremely bulky packages and arrived on a 7.5t lorry which could be difficult for small streets. I was on my own for the delivery and am disabled, the driver was extremely helpful with assisting me to get it onto my property and didn't just dump it at the kerb. None of the parts were damaged in transit. Plus points to First Tunnels here for using a good courier company. The instructions are excellent and the two free books on how to care for and grow inside the polytunnel are perfect for newbies. The crop sow/harvest calendar, cheat wheel and free seeds are also welcome and useful additions. I think these two most important tips should be emphasised somewhere in the instructions though as they are game-changers: 1) Do yourself a favour and buy a deep socket for your drill as this makes the process go SO much faster than winding nuts and bolts by hand with a spanner. 2) I would highly recommend calling for at least two more friends on a tunnel this size to help. Due to all the upgrades we chose, it took my fiancée and I three weekends to build and we really struggled with the polythene by ourselves. If we bought the deep socket at the beginning and had some help with covering we might've finished it in two weekends. That's completely on us though but be warned this is a BIG construction project with hundreds of parts. They make it look so easy in the videos but it is hard, hard, hard, HARD work on a tunnel this size. If we were to do it again we'd pay First Tunnels to build it for us. Under 20ft though I reckon it'd have gone smoother on our own. With the exception of one packet of 4 screws (we've let them know and it's been forwarded to their technical dept), all materials, screws and sundries are of high quality. Thick and heavy galvanised tubing and clamps (we went for the thicker upgraded version). High quality thick aluminium extrusions, thick and high quality timber where needed, thick high quality ground sheet and the polythene is tough too. They've definitely not scrimped on the quality here. People and businesses are only human so sometimes things get missed, but you can judge a company very much on how they handle errors. First Tunnels have been nothing but amazing every time I've contacted them. They overnighted a Q clip when we discovered we were sent one in the wrong size and they are just now overnighting me some anti-hotspot tape as we were a little short. No fuss, no arguments, it was a pleasure talking with them every step of the way and they made sure our construction wasn't delayed. I highly recommend these folks, especially for your first tunnel (it's all in their name!). We will definitely keep using them. Cheers, Stew & Claire |

A good quality polytunnel that was relatively easy to construct when using both the written instructions and the videos. During the build I did find that some parts were missing or incorrect but these were replaced within days. The customer service was excellent. Overall the polytunnel appears to be good stable structure. My only concern with this product was that the flattened ends of the tubes had been left with large sharp burrs which required removal for safety reasons and a couple of the tubes had also become squashed on the end preventing assembly but this was fairly easy to rectify. |

back in 2002 I purchased my first tunnel from the same co., we built it ourselves, so I knew that the product would be perfect,. This time the company team erected my new tunnel and wow, what a brilliant team they are, they talked to me on the site, so that we both knew what I was wanting, and then got straight on with the job, they were absolutely brilliant, no hanging about, they just worked continuously, in a very organized way.

Where do I start ?? Service. To say its excellent is understating it. I mean who rings clients up to say the product is on its way ?? That hasn't happened before. Now to the product which is superb very well thought out and you can tell its been refined over time. This review sound quite clinical but it was a pleasure to put up, the vids were a great help and a great reference point. As you start to assemble you very quickly realise that you need a trained octopus as a companion, hold this, tighten that, drill this, but you get there and as I said its been thought out very well. One very small point to get the tension required is difficult, if you have a side ventilation it is a lot easier so maybe this is something that could be looked at. Overall it was great fun thanks |

An excellent product and well made. The only thing i could say is maybe for First Tunnels to either include, or offer as an optional extra, a handle on the tunnel door, as it is a little awkward to pull the door closed, This isn't a complaint, just a suggestion. |

Very happy with the speedy delivery and the qualtiy of the product, thank you. One word of caution - do not underestimate the time and sill required to erect a polytunnel. I am sure the effort will be worthwhile, and hopefully the end result will last much longer as a result...but allow 2/3 days for 2 bodies to erect. |
