The Strength Beneath Your Crops: Discover Polycroo's Signature Concrete Foundations

When it comes to building a polytunnel that stands the test of time, the foundation is everything. At Polycroo, we've revolutionised polytunnel construction with our signature concrete foundations—a system designed for unparalleled durability and longevity.

Why Our Foundations Stand Out

1. Superior Strength

Our foundation consists of a full perimeter concrete strip foundation, providing unmatched structural integrity. This solid foundation ensures your polytunnel can withstand harsh weather conditions, offering you peace of mind that your investment is secure.

2. Rot-Free Plastic Foundation Pipes

Embedded within the concrete are rot-free plastic foundation pipes. These pipes are cast and anchored directly into the concrete, eliminating the need for timber—which can rot over time. By using plastic, we ensure that the foundation remains robust and maintenance-free for years to come.

3. Vermin Cannot Burrow In

The solid concrete perimeter acts as a barrier against vermin. Unlike traditional foundations where gaps or timber can be compromised, our concrete foundation prevents rodents and other pests from burrowing in, protecting your crops and maintaining a clean growing environment.

4. Keeps Ground Water Out

Excess ground water can be detrimental to both the structure of your polytunnel and the health of your plants. Our concrete foundation helps keep ground water out, ensuring a dry and stable environment inside your polytunnel.

5. Extends the Lifespan of Timber Side Cladding

While our foundation is timber-free, we use timber for the low level side cladding. Our design keeps the timber out of contact with the ground, preventing moisture absorption and rot. This significantly extends the lifespan of the timber components, saving you money on repairs and replacements.

The Polycroo Difference

By choosing Polycroo's signature concrete foundations, you're investing in:

  • Longevity: A foundation that lasts, giving you the best return on your investment.
  • Durability: Materials that resist rot and decay, ensuring structural integrity.
  • Protection: A barrier against pests and water, safeguarding your crops.
  • Sustainability: Fewer repairs and replacements mean less waste and a smaller environmental footprint.

Build Better with Polycroo

Don't settle for outdated polytunnel foundation methods that can compromise the quality and longevity of your polytunnel. With our innovative concrete foundation system, you're choosing a foundation that's as strong and resilient as the crops you grow.
