About Northern Polytunnels
A Family Tradition of Excellence Since 1969
Who we are
Northern Polytunnels is a family-run business based in Lancashire, with roots that stretch back to 1969.
We manufacture and deliver a wide range of products focused on specific customer needs which include hobby, commercial, horticultural, livestock and PVC clad structures.
Our Story
It all started with a simple yet ambitious goal: to help people grow their own feed and create thriving outdoor spaces.
The business was founded by Peter Wolfenden, who, inspired by a drive back from the Great Yorkshire Show, set up shop in a poultry cabin on his farm.
From a modest workshop in Lancashire, we began crafting polytunnels to help gardeners and growers tackle the challenges of Britain’s unpredictable weather. What began as a small-scale operation has grown significantly over the decades, but our core values remain unchanged.
We are still a family business, dedicated to quality, innovation, and the personal touch that our customers have come to expect from us.
Over the years, Northern Polytunnels has earned a reputation for delivering reliable, high-quality structures that help our customers achieve their growing ambitions. Our products have been truly tried and tested, having been supplied to diverse locations across the globe, from the Arctic Circle to the Alps, the Falklands, the UAE, and the Outer Hebrides.
At Northern Polytunnels, we provide robust and customisable polytunnel solutions that enable commercial growers, hobbyists and garden centres to protect their crops from harsh weather and pests, ensuring reliable yields and consistent productivity year-round.
Simplicity and strength are the driving forces behind our polytunnels, and they are designed and manufactured in the UK using the best quality materials available.
