Don't know whether to be excited or daunted! Anyone with tips re ordering a new covering. Any suggestions re what seeds/flowers I can grow. I have lots of beds to fill.

    Hello @gould_belinda and welcome to the forum  :)

    @Hostafan1 has a couple of large polytunnels ... I've given him a nudge ... he should have some tips for you  :)

    Welcome to the Forum. 
    You may be able to find a company to " re skin " it for you. 
    Mine are both 21feet wide, one is 48 feet long, the other 56 feet long and I pretty much did them myself. 
    Not easy, but doable.

    and so well worth the effort even if you do it yourself.
    Ours has been in situ for over 15 years and the harvest inside has been fantastic.
    We don't do flowers (even though some seeds come in) but the veg potential throughout the year is great.
    Tomatoes, aubergines, chillies, peppers, all sorts of salads, strawberries, carrots, pak choi, kohl rabi, chinese yams, cucamelons (first time this year)....
    So worth while.
    Yes we need a new covering but hope we can last until the Spring.
