VOUNOT Polytunnel Greenhouse

1. Assembly & set up I've ordered the largest one of the ones offered. The set up is very easy. The simple 2 sheet instructions follow a similar pattern so you don't need an IKEA style science degree to put it up. It's recommended to have 2 people to put it up. I've done it alone and with someone and it makes sense as the initial set up needs a counterweight or support. It is possible to set up alone if you are savvy but an extra pair of hands really makes sure there is no strain put on the bolts & frame. 2. Sturdiness Now, initially, I've secured it with many heavy duty tent pegs. However, I found out it wasn't efficient on its own. They do recommend it to dig it down and I have. Too shallow initially, as due to its sheer size, it was unearthed on occasion. However, I dug it deeper down & secured it with boulders, tent pegs and zip ties for the cover at the base (see pictures attached). It is well secured, solid structured, the cover is pretty thick, the inner straps (although few in number I found them to be sufficient with all other things added since the frame and the stitching wrapped around nicely). 3. Value for money I feel its good quality. We have been happy and impressed with it so far. You could say it would be nice for some pegs to come with it but it depends on where you place it and how well you dig it down. In our allotment it was getting direct flow from the wind. If you don't have much experience, be safe rather than sorry. 4. Service Prompt and efficient delivery. Had an issue initially with the first polytunnel however I contacted amazon customer service & it was fixed instantly. Was very impressed. Happy customers overall!

Easy to assemble and ok for a SHORT TERM solution. The reason for the poor rating is this has only lasted nearly 18 months. Started to notice after a year that the material started to shed, then eventually the green material simply disintegrated. Lots of belongings that were stored got water damaged. I appreciate it isn’t the most expensive item but had we known the outcome of this purchase and the poor quality we would never have bought it.

For the price, this is a lot of tunnel! I was able to assemble the frame by myself in 2hrs, no problem (would have been easier with help though). The instructions are simple and all parts were present. Tip: DO NOT TIGHTEN the screws until the end, and be mindful you do not overtighten as it can misshape the poles. I followed the basic advice of digging a trench and burying the base and the covers “skirt”. However it is very flimsy feeling and did not feel secure enough for the strong northerly winds we get on the coast, so my peace of mind I took additional steps… To secure the frame to the ground, I used 18” stakes in each corner and many heavy duty tent pegs. To prevent the frame from bending in a storm, I reinforced the arches with wooden braces attached with p-clips. To ensure the cover is not ripped by the frame, I used gaffa tape on all the joints, and bought some plumbing insulation foam tubes to put over the poles in contact with the cover. To make sure the cover does not fly away, I used clips to secure it to the frame, and tied the provided ropes to breeze blocks (which I also plan to bury). Finally, I used 4 ratchet straps over the top of the tunnel, which are attached to more long stakes in the ground. It required purchasing the ratchet straps, p-clips, wooden batons, cover clips, plumbing foam tubes, and using additional time to get the tunnel feeling more sturdy. I realise this may be overkill, but I don’t want to risk a wizard of oz style situation with the polytunnel flying away in the next storm we have. Otherwise, I am happy with this item, it keeps heat in, water and bugs out, and looks alright. The zip is not heavy duty, but so far, it hasn’t been an issue.

Wow, this was a nice surprise! Quick to build, well made and resisted a couple of days of strong windy stormy days! I had to but additional long pegs but other than that it’s great. The windows are handy, good zips on the door. Nice size. Quick delivery as well. Loving it.

Lasted almost a full season but green plastic started to disintegrate quickly with small holes appearing daily. Have ordered a second one for this year and some bolts are missing from the box again, as they were last time. Luckily i have a few roofing bolts hanging around i can use in their place. Also some of the sewing is off and so is tight in some places, baggy in others. Others for sale that are more expensive but they all look of a similar quality. Might be wrong?

This is a great poly tunnel, perfect for the allotment and very sturdy.

Works fine only for 1 season. By the time the cover starts to tear apart, the metal parts start bending due to strong winds. Finally, after 1 winter, it is useless..

Perfect size for my needs. Takes a little while to fit together, but instructions are straightforward. Just make sure not to tighten the screws on the arch to allow holes to align and then tighten. Stability good, so far. Zip nice and smooth. Love the cover is supplied so that you just unfold and drape over the frame.

Transport catastrophique... la caisse en carton était déchiré et il manque des pièce mais le service après vente a était niquel et a envoyé toutes les pièces manquantes! Très satisfait

Obwohl in den letzten Jahren grundsätzlich die Qualität der Produkte oft zurück gingen, kann ich sagen, dass dieses Produkt sehr gut ist. Seit 8 Jahren habe ich diese Art von Folien Zelt in meinem Garten und bin sehr zufrieden. Dieses ist mein 3 Zelt in den acht Jahren. Ob Tomaten, Gurken oder Salat, alles gedeiht sehr gut. Mittels den 6 Fenster kann man die Wärme gut regulieren. Einziges Manko, der Reißverschlüss an der sogenannten Tür, hat nach einem Jahr ausgedient. Ansonsten alles sehr stabil. Läßt sich gut aufbauen. Bleibt bei mir immer stehen, ob Sommer oder Winter. Gut verankert hat es auch starke Windböen ausgehalten ohne Schaden zu nehmen. Empfehlenswert, sehr zufrieden.

A estufa muito boa..

Bra och stark plast. Tyvärr gick en dragkedja sönder vid installationen. Om man förandkrar den ordentligt i marken så fungerar det bra.

Fantastic, the material is very goid
