Welcome to Ferryman Polytunnels

Some people visiting our site for the first time might ask what exactly is a polytunnel? A Polytunnel is a steel framed structure made of galvanised tube bent to form a hoop, a series of which are joined together to make a 'tunnel' over which a cover of polythene is stretched to form a greenhouse polytunnel.

There are two great advantages of a polytunnel. One is the polythene itself of which there several types which have been developed through modern  technology to provide  a multitude of different growing environments.
The second advantage is the range of different sizes that we can make from 8ft to 24ft wide and almost any length from 10ft upwards.
We also offer  two styles one with straight sides and the other with curved sides.

Our Classic Polytunnels range is suitable for general use whereas our Tufftunnel range is designed for the windier or more exposed areas.

Here you will find details of the sizes of the polytunnels that we manufacture, and prices for the frames covered with alternative materials; two types of polythene, net skirts for extra ventilation and shade net covers. A full list of replacement polytunnel covers is included to fit not only the polytunnels that we manufacture but also the wider sheets for larger tunnels.

The website provides full information about our polytunnels, however you might find this overview helpful. We have two parallel types of polytunnels - Classic Polytunnels suitable for most areas in the UK and Tuftunnels suitable for the Scottish Islands, coastal, and other windy areas.
