Do they blow away on strong winds?

Accepted Answer

When the polytunnel structure is maintained correctly, protected from damage and our instructions are followed when you are putting it all together then any damage from strong winds is unlikely. However, as no structure is immune to damage from weather events such as extreme storms, care should be taken when weather warnings indicate so. In addition it is advisable to add your tunnel to the house insurance policy.
