Very low cost – yet high quality structure frame using 50mm diameter Z35 high tensile tube with single ridge and all set on swaged foundation tubes. This arrangement means the 18ft is fast to build and has a very secure anchorage to the ground. Excellent side clearance and shoulder room. This size has a lower height profile which can be an advantage on planning permission purposes.
All polyhouses use large diameter, high tensile steel tube manufactured by our UK steel suppliers to Z35 specification. This means that it has a much higher bending resistance than standard mild steel tube and is therefore stronger in use.
Fordingbridge pioneered the use of swaged joint systems in polyhouse design and use this extensively throughout our polyhouses. Swages allow tubes to sleeve together giving a low cost, extremely strong joint which is fast to assemble.
