First Tunnels Ltd
Polytunnel construction polytunnels plastic green house greenhouse supplier.

First Tunnels has over 30 years experience in the industry and is a successful and established mail order supplier of Polytunnels & Horticultural Supplies. Customers range from individual enthusiasts, Government organisations and garden TV Personalities.

First Tunnels are able to design, manufacture and supply a wide range of structures. They can offer a complete service from an outline sketch right through to the finished structure. Their polytunnels, or plastic greenhouses are sectional buildings which allows the grower the widest choice and specification to provide the ideal environment for the crop in production. Their straight sides give excellent working and growing space and are a huge improvement on the old style elliptical tunnels.

First Tunnels are located in a small village between Nelson and Colne in Lancashire and can be found conveniently located off junction 13 of the M65. In their factory, they have two bending machines, tube swagers, punching and tube forming machines. They have sawing machines and a full range of metalwork facilities. This allows them to have complete control of their manufacturing processes to ensure high quality at very competitive prices.

All their Polytunnels use large diameter, high tensile steel tube manufactured by Europe’s steel manufacturers. All steel used is galvanised inside and out for maximum corrosion protection and to the Z35 specification. This means that it has a much higher bending resistance than standard mild steel tube and is therefore stronger in use.

The swage joint system is used on all their Polytunnel designs. A swage is where the tube end is reduced in diameter. This allows the tubes to be sleeved together giving a low cost and an extremely strong joint, which means the structures are fast to build and have a very strong anchorage in the ground. They all have excellent side clearance and shoulder room. Close hoops spacing also increases the strength and reduces unsightly polythene or plastic ‘sag’ and consequently loss of headroom.

Whilst First Tunnels standard structures are sturdy and strong, certain sites may demand greater performance. Crop bars are usually added to increase snow load performance and wind resistance not to mention their use for suspending hanging baskets.

Their polytunnels or plastic green houses have no hidden extras. Unlike many in the same business who don’t supply complete polytunnel kits, our prices include everything you need – that includes the frame-work, pre-assembled door, 4 year polythene cover and VAT. For information on shipping charges please call.
