Product Description

 Aluminum Extrusions and Fixings

Structural & Material Insights

  • These aluminium extrusions are designed specifically to accept 200‑micron polythene, which is the standard thickness for high‑quality polytunnel covers. That means they’re engineered for proper grip and long-term tension retention.

  • They’re compatible with polytunnels from other manufacturers, which is rare — most rail systems are brand‑locked. This makes them one of the few “universal” upgrade components in the UK market.

  • The rails rely on PVC infills and rail joiners rather than timber battens, giving a cleaner, more durable clamping system that won’t rot or warp.

    🛠 Installation & Use‑Case Facts

  • The page explicitly markets these rails for revamping, extending, moving, or upgrading second‑hand polytunnels, highlighting their role as a refurbishment component rather than just a new-build part.

  • They attach using intermediate and corner clamps, meaning the rails form part of a modular system — ideal for repairs or partial replacements without dismantling the whole frame.
