Advice & Tips
-
Polythene creases will smooth out as the tunnel warms.
-
Garden tunnels could move and be damaged in very strong winds. If you have particularly light soil or windy
conditions, we recommend using longer pegs to anchor the tunnel more firmly.
-
The tunnel has sewn pockets along both sides. These can be filled with ballast for extra stability.
-
For added stability in windy weather, push a bamboo cane or similar pole vertically into the ground at each end
of the tunnel. Tie the cane or pole to the top of the end hoops.
-
To increase the lifespan of your tunnel, dismantle at the end of the growing season, wipe down and store
somewhere dry in the provided storage bag.
