How to decide which Hoop Spacing to choose
If you're going to position your polytunnel in an exposed location then you may want to consider 5ft hoop spacings, however, if you’re in a sheltered location then 6ft spacings should be adequate.
Foundations
Screw Anchors
By far the best and most popular method. Suitable with most soil types, especially clay soils. Avoid only on ground with a high stone/rubble content, peat soils, or loose soil which has been recently disturbed or deep cultivated.
Base Plates (for concrete base)
Base plates are only used when fixing your polytunnel onto a solid concrete base.
Traditional Foundation Tubes - Concreting method:
The recognised method when using traditional foundation tubes is to dig a hole (35cm square x 50cm deep) and set the foundation tubes in concrete.
Ground Anchor Plates (for soft ground)
Generally only used where screw anchors and traditional ‘concreted’ foundation tubes are not the preferred choice.

Polythene Cover
Lumisol Diffused
Means the overall light reaching your crop is reduced by around 2%. This reduction in light creates a slightly cooler environment, up to 4°C lower at midday in mid-summer, which can be a considerable benefit to many crops especially in the sunnier parts of the UK.
Lumisol Clear
Is a UV ’open’ polythene film, allowing UV light to reach your plants. This can have many benefits for both edible and ornamental crops, such as enhancing the fragrance, taste, colour, earlier harvesting and longer post-harvest shelf life.
Anti Hot Spot Tape
Padded foam tape which is placed over each polytunnel hoop prior to the polythene sheet being fitted. It acts as insulation between the metal and the polythene to prevent the build up of heat in the steel frame being transferred to the polythene. Extends the life of a polythene sheet by at least one year.

Optional Extras
Brace Bar Kit (Widthways Crop Bars)
Although often used to hold hanging baskets or to support lateral poles on which to tie up your tomatoes, peas etc, they are more often added to a polytunnel to give it extra strength.

Additional Ridge Bars (Lengthways Crop Bars)
