Hi, just for your information, I have been checking out prices for polytunels and ovrall the best company i have found is Citadel Tunnels, they have a sale on at the minute with starter kits (including everything you need to start and set up your tunnel) for less than £195.00 plus delivery is only 40.00 to Ireland. In comparison to others this is fantastic and they have a good reputation. Their website is www.citadelpolytunnels.com but I'm not sure when the sale ends.

There are also a few Irish retailers in The Polytunnel Handbook - Colm Warren, Morris Polythene and National Agrochemical if memory serves - although there's one in the North too. Something Warren I think.

Even their normal prices seem cheap compared to the Irish guys, i've been looking for a 14' x 20' and the best price I got in Ireland was from Morris Polytunnels (http://www.morrispolytunnels.co.uk) in Omagh:

14' x 20' with Morris = 465euro + 40 euro delivery = 505 euro

14' x 20' with Citadel = £324 (360 euro) + £40 (45euro) delivery = 405 euro

I probably can't afford to get one until later in the year, but if you buy from Citadel please update us on the quality as i'd be very interested klankelly

Hello, Just wondering has anyone used the company above Citadel Polytunnels. I am hoping to invest in one soon and would like to hear from anyone who has one that was good value and quality, Thanks

Hi Bearkey,
Actually I just bought one from citadel, got the 12 foot x 18 foot straight sided space saver:

It was 40 pounds for delivery to Eire and was delivered in 2 weeks.

It arrived last friday (frame looks very sturdy) and I hope to have it up soon (weather permitting!) so will keep you posted.

Hi Paulsie,

Thats great, they seem to be the best value online. I am also hoping to go for the space saver, I hope to get it early in the new year. I have been thinking I will be able to prepare the ground in the mean time but not a chance with all the rain we have been having here in Cavan so I hope you are having better luck with putting your's up and I look forward to hearing how you get on.
