Polytunnel Frame - Free to a good home

Some neighbours of mine in Ashurst have got a frame for a 30ft polytunnel that they want to get rid of. It has the hoops but no side struts (could easily be improvised using canes). The cover has rotted away but Alan (my neighbour, who used to run a market garden) says they can be purchased for around… Continue
