The Polycrub
« on: August 11, 2012, 08:00:34 pm »
When I was in Shetland this week, I attended Cunningsburgh Show. I saw this and thought some of you in more exposed areas might be interested.

It's called the polycrub and is a more robust take on a polytunnel. www.nortenergy.co.uk

I love the Polycrub  :thumbsup: . It's a fantastic idea, never seen them before. All I have to do is win the lotto so I can afford one :roflanim:

Its basically similar to  Keder greenhouse - but more sustainable re-using the salmon pipe and less transport and lore local - good on them! Might even be cheaper - Keders tho used in the Falklands etc arent cheap!

The come in all sorts of sizes here in Oz but they are not cheap I grant you all that.

You can use them as garages/car ports, growing plants in, housing livestock for mass production..
Fertilizer sheds etc......w :farmer: ay to go.

Thanks for the hint on this tunnel.

Of course in bold I will mention yourself and TAS :thumbsup:
They will know where the info came from ;)
100% I would have never heard of them were it not for you.
It is a pity the web site they have is not a bit more informative. Then again, earlier this year I had to request posted details from Keder and Solar tunnels as they also have quite Low Info web sites!

Please dont think they are perfect though , just another option. I have seen them with panels missing and repairs being done as with any poly.
