Polytunnel Foundations.
We offer several installation options to suit different ground conditions and base types:
Foundations for Soil Installation
For installing a Polytunnel directly into the ground, we supply Foundation Tubes designed to be concreted into soil for maximum stability.
Alternatively, you can choose Anchor Plates, which allow you to backfill with soil instead of using concrete. This provides a secure hold while eliminating the need for cement.
Base Plates for Timber or Concrete Bases
Base Plates are used when a Polytunnel needs to be fixed onto a timber or concrete base rather than into soil. They create strong, stable ‘feet’ for the framework and are a quick, clean, and reliable installation method.
Base Plates replace Foundation Tubes in situations where ground‑dig installation isn’t suitable.

Our Foundation Tubes are designed specifically for use with our range of Polytunnels, featuring a swaged end for secure assembly. These tubes are suitable for quick and straightforward installation, particularly when constructing Polytunnels onto a soil base.
Installation Options
Foundation Tubes may be anchored directly into concrete for enhanced stability, or alternatively, they can be used in conjunction with Anchor Plates. Both methods provide reliable support for the structure, depending on site requirements and user preference.
Available Sizes
We offer Foundation Tubes in four different sizes to accommodate various specifications. Please refer to the table below for detailed information regarding each tube size.

- 60.3mm with a 56.3mm swaged end.
We provide various options for ground foundations or anchor plates, as well as base plates for concrete or timber, for both garden and commercial polytunnels. These options come in sizes of 25mm, 35mm, 50.8mm, and 60.3mm. For smaller tunnels, we also offer screw anchors in sizes of 25mm and 35mm. These options are compatible with most polytunnels, regardless of the manufacturer.
PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU ARE ORDERING THE ANCHOR PLATES, YOU MAY REQUIRE THE FOUNDATION TUBES TOO.

Anchor Plates provide a strong, reliable alternative to concreting and add extra security to your polytunnel structure. They are essential when fitting Base Rails or Side Rails, helping to prevent the framework from lifting or sinking over time.
Each square plate slides over the Foundation Tube (not included) and is secured at the base using two clamps—one above and one below the plate. Once buried, the plate locks the tube firmly in place, improving overall stability in a wide range of soil conditions.
Available in three sizes. Please refer to the table below for pack contents.

Base Plates provide a quick, reliable method of installing a Polytunnel onto a timber or concrete base. They create sturdy ‘feet’ for the framework and are used instead of Foundation Tubes when ground‑dig installation isn’t suitable.
Each plate is manufactured to securely support the hoop and ensure a stable, long‑lasting structure.
Fixing Options
-
Timber Base: Supplied with M8 × 50 mm screw bolts for fast, secure fixing.
-
Concrete Base: Supplied with M10 × 75 mm Rawl bolts for heavy‑duty anchoring.
Hoop Compatibility
-
25.4 mm diameter hoops locate inside the Base Plate tube.
-
35 mm diameter hoops locate outside the Base Plate tube.
This ensures a snug, secure fit regardless of hoop size.
Please Note, Hoops with a diameter of 25.4mm will locate inside the Base Plate Tube. Hoops with a diameter of 35mm will locate outside of the Base Plate Tube.
