Claire Yates Ooo how fab!!!!! Yes sure I'll take some for you. Do you want inside or outside photos Myles MacRae?
I posted a pic on a couple of veg growing pages...people who thought they couldn't have a poly want to know where I got it from :-)
Told them storm Eleanor took down my dry stone wall...but not my poly!!!! The wall fell into it and only scratched the sheet mainly...a few small holes but nothing major.
Claire Yates And yes...you can post my comment...it has survived storm Brian also..and the beast from the east. We have horrific winds up here....1500ft above sea level and open moorland....70mph winds are common here

I chose a Highland Polytunnel on account of the ferocity of the winds we sometimes experience here, just north of Glasgow. We visited Myles' premises where we had sound and valuable advice.
Delivery was rapid, although the carrier (Tuffnells) failed to bring everything at on the first visit, and dumped some components in a neighbour's garden without contacting me on the second visit. They also gave me somebody else's parcel, and I had to contact that customer using the contact details on their package and sort it out. Tuffnells were told of the problem by me, but took no action.
The recommended construction contractors were very good; came quite soon after delivery, straight to my door and spot on time. They had to return a few days later to finish the job, because the sheet of polythene supplied in my kit was too small; they obtained a replacement sheet and returned to complete the job with no trouble or complaint. I recommend them highly.

Very very robust. it true what they say, you only get what you pay for.....I have had three tunnels in the past which have been destroyed by high winds... I think I have it beat this time.....

Highland polytunnels had the best online price and I was pleasantly surprised to find that a free rainwater kit and automatic ventilator were included. Due to inclement weather I have not yet erected the greenhouse but it arrived on time and the driver delivered it to the back garden.
I had the same greenhouse at my previous address for 25 years and it was still perfectly sound when I left. The extra width and height made it feel like a bigger greenhouse, I combined it with a potting shed attached to the end to allow me to maximise growing space. I would recommend this greenhouse to any amateur gardener.

Andrew, I just wanted to say sorry I missed you leaving the other day and Thanks to you and Simon for a great job well done! – the Poly tunnel is fantastic – Thank You. It was a pleasure having you and Simon around the place and the way you just got on with the job and got it done was very impressive – a well-oiled machine. Count on us if you ever need a reference. Thanks again and if your ever in the area working feel free to call on us for a coffee and see how Paula’s veg are coming along ;-)

Construction
“We were delighted with the expert advice given to us before our order was placed. It ensured we got the right model for our needs. It was definitely worth paying extra to get the team to erect the tunnel as they were a great crew and did a very professional job, turning up when they said and completing all the work within a day. We would have no hesitation in recommending Highland Poly-tunnels and now thanks to Miles and his team we can look forward to enjoying a bumper crop of veggies throughout the year.” John and Sylvia Tarrant, Ardross 31/03/16
Highland polytunnels construction team made a great job, well pleased
I cannot believe how much water this collects.

Hi Miles, you may remember delivering my greenhouse to Golspie earlier in the summer. It is now in place and I promised to send you a photo or two for your website. I'll send you a couple more photos after this one. I'm delighted with it - really well built to withstand the Highland weather. Our local contractor William MacBeath of Golspie erected it so if you could give him a mention if you use the photos, he'd be interested in work erecting them
I was in two minds whether to get a polytunnel or a greenhouse, so glad I went for the polytunnel ! From the moment I made my mind up, it was the smoothest 'big' purchase I have ever made, from all the advice and help given, to the finished article. Delivered promptly and well packed, and built by true professionals, I cant praise Highland Polytunnels enough,and I am looking forward now to the challenges ahead.
I bought a roll of fleece to prevent frost damage to a peach tree, a fig and kiwi fruit bush. i ordered it on the friday and it arrived on Monday morning. the fleece is extremely strong and allows a good airflow which helps to resist the formation of moulds.. watering is simple. excellent product.. can't find any negatives with it.

This was a great buy, I have never seen a polytunnel so strong.....easy to build although the instructions were hard to follow until you really read them. cant wait to get growing......
Isle of Lewis...
Tunnel was delivered within a week and the guys came to build it a couple of days later, fantastic job. well pleased.
The instructions are thorough and the erection of the polytunnel wasn't too stressful at all. The metal hoops and bars are really strong and look like they won't budge in the high winds we've had a lot of in the last few years. Happy with the information given over the phone which didn't attempt to push us into anything; it was useful advice that we can now carry forward, from someone who knows the vagaries of the Highland climate and therefore what should work. Highly recommended.

Myles was great: answered all our questions, made sure we got just the kit we needed and even coordinated a team to come by and assemble it. Can't wait to plant my plants!
Posted by Mark Cotter on 30th Apr 2015
Very robust and good quality product. all elements were of the highest standards. From sales to delivery and construction the individuals and communication were effective,quick and human. Sound advice offered when required any difficulties were addressed straight away[ the only problem belonged to the delivery company not the producers or sales departments. Despite this they took ownership and dealt with the issue with no fuss].
I would recommend the product sales team and the construction team.
Fantastic tunnel with plenty of space to work in and shelter when the weather outside turns. The structure is well-designed and more solid than most; necessary for our very exposed coastal location in the north of Scotland.
Highland Polytunnels provided a competitive price with excellent service before and after delivery. I'd have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending them or returning myself in the future, only I suspect this tunnel will last a very long time.

8 months after our original enquiry I can proudly say that Ascension Island now has 2 of your polytunnels set up ready to plant. Many thanks for sending on the hot spot tape to replace that which did not arrive. It was quite an ordeal shifting the kit 4000 miles by military ship to Ascension and then 2000ft up the mountain!
As agreed, I have taken some pictures of the polytunnels with some island scenery in the background and the Ascension Island Government Facilities Management Team, who erected the polytunnels in the foreground, holding an Ascension Island sign. The polytunnels have been sited in the grounds of the Residency, Green Mountain, Ascension Island. For more on green mountain see:

Great polytunnel , very strong, just wish I had got it built for me, more to it than i thoght. very happy with it though.
We are very impressed with the quality and strength of this polytunnel, having had tunnels in the past I personally have never seen one this size with such thick steel. I can see this being here for many years.
Thanks Highland Polytunnels.
Brilliant,
Very fast delivery.. thanks

Clear advice from Myles followed by quick delivery of the product. The Highland Super Strength 10 by 15 is solid, stable and spacious. For me the working height is great - the crop bars are above my head and I'm 6'3".
I opted for construction - thanks Jill/guys - this was well worthwhile. I'm not a novice at DIY but constructing the polytunnel looked awkward to me and Polanski Polytunnels did a neat and tidy job in a friendly manner.

I've used this product twice now for repairs to my 42 foot polytunnel and is excellent even for long tears.

Best this we ever did was buy the set of crop bars for our tunnel, they were easy to fit with the retro fittings. Really strengthen up the tunnel.
Great!!!!!!!!!!!

I found this polytunnel to be excellent value for money, the 32mm tubing is very robust making it a very sturdy structure, the instructions were very easy to follow, all fittings being galvanised should last the pace,I decided to concrete the ground tubes in with the advise from Myles the owner of Highland Polytunnels who we found to be very helpful, delivery was also excellent, very happy customers!
