Feel good Poly tunnel on a slope

Hi all
I'm investing in a Feelgood allotment pro 10'x20' poly tunnel, though my site has a slope (probably fall 12"- 18" over the 20' will need to check). Any issues with putting this stye of tunnel with base rails on a slope? Guessing setting the frame (hoop sections) perfectly vertical nigh on imposible effecting the door

 

Hello and welcome to GC

There is a discussion here about this company:
http://gardenerscorner.co.uk/forum/threads/feel-good-polytunnels.49001/

I looked them up on the government's companies house website, and found two companies called Feel Good UK (one is 'Feel Good UK' and one is 'Feel Good UK Limited'). Both are listed as dissolved, but I'm not sure either is the company of interest, as the registered addresses don't match. The Feel Good website doesn't list a company number, which means they could be operating as a sole trader, and therefore wont appear in the Companies House listing, which could explain that, but it would be enough to prompt me to make some enquiries before giving them any money.

 

I've read (& seen pics) that polytunnels are OK on a slope (lengthways), but obviously the hoops need to be at 90 degrees to the rails/sloping ground or the cover wont fit. If you construct doors they will always swing towards the lowest end (unless you construct sliding doors.

You could always carry out some 'cut & fill' and some localised re-grading of levels, digging out one end and filling the other end with the spoil. The previously high end is dug out 9" and in a cutting, and the previously low end is raised 9" and has an embankment. That would be my choice of solution, but remember that you'll need to strip the topsoil off first before changing the levels on the underlying subsoil, then put it back.

Feelgood aren't always the cheapest place to buy these from, plus they are sold out at the moment. Sometimes their ebay trading operation (Grow-ur-own) is cheaper, but there's now a couple of other ebay sellers who have been cheaper for some time and are selling identical polytunnels.

The last 2 are both based at Wickford, Essex so might be one & the same.
