But googling i cant find similar only short spans thats my issue

Heres another link, same sort of effect
I cant find equivalent, Im sure there is a name or something thats missing, all i seem to get with PVC pipe etc its the rigid pipes

I want very similar to this link, 6m or so lengths of flexible (I know it will be hard to bend) pipe

50m Coil of 15mm pipe as already stated

Not that one, the bigger one

He says this "They have 60mm O/D (outside dimension) Qualplast" but i cant find any thing that matches that for example

its in the comments 6m pipe by 5cm.

From what I can tell PVCU is non flexible

I am starting to think its MDPE, but the pricing online seems high compared to the price the guy in the second article is quoting, 30 metres 60euro.

Ah this is probably close enough

£2 a metre so pretty sure now its MDPE.

Thanks all

50mm blue MDPE water pipe will do nicely for this function. I've seen other polytunnels made with it. It is widely available at builders merchants or plumbing centres. You should find somewhere locally to buy a coil of 25m or 50m.

Polytunnels are ace by the way, I've had 2 from first tunnels over the years. I have one that I brought with me from my last house that I need to re-construct, maybe next year.

Thx PC, thats the plan, I am just debating making vs buying, so costing up.

The issue for me is the odd size we are allowed (2.5x3m) virtually no one makes this size so if I buy 2x3 I am losing 20% of the space.

Screwfix dont have the 50mm which I agree looks about spot on, online its available though but will check out a decent builders merchant to see whats there.
