About this product
The Outsunny Polytunnel Greenhouse with Windows and Door offers a straightforward solution for extending your growing season and protecting plants in your garden. This large walk-in greenhouse is constructed from a heavy duty galvanised steel frame, designed to be both strong and stable, resisting rust, corrosion, chipping and peeling. The robust build makes it suitable for use in larger gardens.
The polytunnel features a green PE cover which maintains high humidity levels ideal for tropical plants while allowing nourishing sunlight to pass through. It includes six roll-up zipped doors and window vents for excellent ventilation on warmer days. A single roll-up zippered door provides easy access, and the structure benefits from two extra slant supporting rods for enhanced stability.
This unit comes with four ground stakes and four guy ropes to secure it in place, alongside a polyethylene (PE) cover. The overall dimensions are 3 x 2 x 2 metres, providing ample space for full-size crops. Assembly is required. Please note that the PE cover is less durable than polycarbonate or glass over longer periods.
The frame utilises alloy steel and the doors are zippered for ease of use. It’s a practical choice for gardeners looking to create a sheltered environment for their plants.
