Dear Customer,

Welcome to the latest publication of our commercial horticulture trade brochure. In
addition to our traditional range of products we also have a fully dedicated department
for irrigation, heating, ventilation and general equipment. If you have any queries or
are considering any future developments then please speak with our technical team.
They can help you plan your irrigation systems, specify a heater, size-up a replacement
polytunnel cover, or advise you on any number of products.

I would like to thank you for your past business. We have had a successful 2016/17
season, and hopefully we can build even further on this as we are stocking a far
greater range of products. You will notice as you thumb through these pages that we
are very competitively priced and have given you full visibility of this by publishing our
prices where applicable.

I wish you every success in your business endeavours and look forward to your

E continued support.

Who are Northern Polytunnels?

Northern Polytunnels was purchased by the Wolfenden family 30 years ago to run alongside their
already established horticultural sundries business, LBS Horticulture Ltd. In 2001 Northern Polytunnels
became a limited company in its own right (NP Structures Ltd.), but continued to trade under the
established Northern Polytunnels brand as part of the LBS group. In 2012 the company completely
demerged from LBS Horticulture Ltd. with sole ownership of NP Structures Ltd. passing to Ian
Wolfenden. LBS Horticulture Ltd. was retained by Ian’s older siblings, and thus ended a 25 year
business relationship.
Today NP Structures Ltd. is a thriving business servicing both the domestic and commercial
horticultural markets, but also seeing growth in the agricultural, automotive and construction industries.
Some of this growth has been generated by our newly created Britcover division which specialises in
heavy-duty, PVC-coated fabric structures, used as general storage and work shelters.

Our design team is working on a number of new products aimed across a wide range of industries,
as well as looking at ways of further developing our current horticultural structures. Our policy of
reinvestment into our manufacturing equipment has delivered the most up to date facility in the UK
for the type of fabrication and structures we manufacture. We operate standard machinery alongside
the specialist machinery which we have developed ourselves. These include CNC tube benders,
ABB robotic welding cells (up to 8mtr long capacity), laser and plasma CNC cutting, fully automatic
fl ow drilling machinery, PVC welding equipment (including high frequency), and hot melt & hot air
technologies. This enables us to manufacture parts effi ciently and accurately time after time. Our raw
I
materials are both certifi ed and certifi cated (where possible) so that we can guarantee consistent N
quality.
T
R
We use the latest state-of-the-art 3D computer modelling software for drawing-up our designs. Our
O
structural engineering analysis software enables our design team to analyse the stresses and strains
of various wind speeds and snow loadings, giving an accurate representation of what happens in real D
life. Ultimate confi dence in our design, materials and manufacturing processes enables us to give our
U
customers peace of mind when choosing one of our structures.
C

We pride ourselves on good customer service, and with almost 50 years’ experience fabricating
T
structures, our staff can ensure you get the best service and highest quality product from one of the I
O
UK’s leading manufacturers.

Garden Centre Canopies
Visit... www.npstructures.co.uk
Garden Centre Canopies
Garden centre canopies come in many shapes and sizes,
no two ever being exactly the same. We offer two standard
designs, the trellis arch and the curved box arch.

Box Arch
As the name suggests the arches are manufactured from
box-section steel, whereby we take straight lengths of steel box
section and bend it to the desired curvature for each particular
structure. Fixing plates are welded to each end before the
Booths Garden Centre finished arches are hot-dipped galvanised. The upright posts
(legs) are also produced from steel box section with base plates
and gutter brackets being welded to the top and base. Heavy
duty, flame retardant PVC-coated fabric is used to clad the
roof (and sides where applicable) and is available in a variety of
colours, translucent being the most popular by far.
Box arches are generally used for narrow canopies and covered
walkways and are generally available from 3m wide up to 7.5m.
The length is unlimited.
Trellis Arch
S
E A trellis arch is produced from two tubular steel arches, one with
a slightly lower profile than the other. A zig zag matrix of short
R
Next Home and Garden steel bars is used to connect the two parts of the arch, creating
U
the trellis effect. This gives the arch the much needed strength
T
it requires to achieve wider spans. Typical trellis arch canopies
C
have spans from 8m up to 12m, although multiple bays can be
U connected side by side along the gutters to produce any width
of structure you require. Length is also unlimited. The arches
R
are supported by box section steel legs, which also support
T
the gutters. PVC coated fabric is used for the cladding, again,

Traditional Canopies and Walkways
Based on the traditional multi-span structure, traditional canopies incorporate
wide gutters on support posts fitted to both sides of the framework.
Three standard widths are available: 6.4m (21ft), 8m (26ft) and 9.1m (30ft).
Our unique Ali-trap polythene fixing system allows the main cover to be fastened
to the end hoops. A separate piece of polythene is used to clad the end ‘D’
panels leaving a neat, flat finish.
