I posted ages ago about the issues with the cheap polytunnels available from the South American river place (amongst others). Here are a few more that affected me.
First the uprights either side of the door come in multiple pieces, which allows them to bend in the middle. Here I’ve temporarily added a piece of wood to force it back to the correct position.
This issue doesn’t help with the way the door handle works and neither does the “flap” of cover material on the opening side of the door which obstructs easy use of the handle.
Finally, there’s insufficient “skirt” on the cover to allow it to be buried, but even when weighted down it tends to get “sucked” off in high winds. I had this happen several times. Eventually I put these pieces of mesh over the top which helped quite significantly, but even with them the cover was eventually completely ripped off by a major storm when winds were gusting close to 60mph.
