Create a strong light polytunnel for growing crops throughout the year

Products used

Clear twinwall 10mm polycarbonate sheets.

The customer wanted to ensure their Timbertunnel should reduce waste. Traditional polytunnel plastic has a short lifespan, is not recyclable and ends up in landfill. It is also not very durable and isn’t ideal for the Scottish climate.

Our 10mm polycarbonate polytunnel glazing is very durable. It is guaranteed for 10 years but can have a lifespan well over double that. Added to this, it also creates excellent growing conditions. The twin wall design traps air and therefore adds insulation, holding its heat far longer than a normal polytunnel. It also dissipates the light very well with excellent light transmission and is UV-treated. Another benefit is impact resistance – the tunnel is likely to survive being hit by debris far better than a normal polytunnel or glasshouse.

For their polycarbonate polytunnel sheets they decided to use Marlon 10mm thick polycarbonate sheets.

Brett Martin is a UK based manufacturer of polycarbonate sheets, and have strong environmental credentials, with factories powered by renewables. They are continually reducing their environmental impact, by reducing packaging and waste and improving recyclability.

We have the capability of delivering large numbers of long sheets on pallets which has reduced the cost for the customer.
