Default Has anyone bought a polytunnel from polytunnels.com?

At the risk of sounding naive I thought it might be a big delivery, for £15 it wants to be, so have asked for it to be delivered to the allotment.

How many people does it realistically take to put one up?

How long did it take?

Did it result in fisticuffs?

Didn't buy mine from Poly.com, but it is all a bit bulky - so £15 not bad for delivery. What size tunnel have you got, as this will greatly influence the time it takes to put up? It really needs 2 people for the polyethene and a bit of technical ability to square everything up prior to putting the cover on. No fisticuffs though, as it was just a relief to get it all together after all the anticipation!!!

yes I agree putting the frame up can be done by one person but is easier with 2, but the cover definately requires at least 2 people.
