Re: poly tunnels
One thing i will say is if you do buy a secondhand g/house buy some new ali nuts and bolts for putting it back together i didn't when i bought mine and some bots snapped whilst undoing them but even more snapped reassembling the g/house, buy them of ebay as i could only find them in packs of 5 at silly prices around the local g/centers and b&q/homebase
