Make sure you use hotspot tape on the hoops, and keep a roll of the wide repair tape handy just in case.

 

I think you would be doing well to get ten years out a skin tbh, especially if you are running machines in and out loading logs, but it is worth buying a good quality skin anyway.

Cheers for the tips fellas, all good points.

 

I see on some of the suppliers they do give a guarantee of 5 years so was hoping for a little longer as at my yard its quite sheltered. I guess once its up though, its not a big job to re-cover.

 

Got your PM John so will be in touch. Many thanks.

A point aside really, but one of the tenant farmers on the estate lost each and every one of their poly tunnels to the snow this year. All in, about three acres of tunnels shredded!

 

Not as bad as the haulage company down the road whose aircraft hanger style storage shed folded like a line of dominoes!

If you space the hoops closer together you do get a stronger tunnel. We space at 2.5 mtrs instead of the normal 3 mtrs. That said I was still bashing the inside of the tunnels with a sweeping brush to remove a foot of snow sitting on the roof of the tunnels.
