SHEEP HOUSING COMPARISON At NP Structures we pride ourselves on our customer service and the quality of our products. With over 40 years experience in the design and manufacture of polytunnels, our staff can ensure you get the best service and quality of product from one of the UK’s largest manufacturers. When making any essential purchase we understand how important it is to shop around. We also know how difficult it can be understanding why you should choose NP Structures above another company. We’ve made this comparison because we think it is important to highlight the differences between our structures and those of our competitiors.
We want to tell our customers the reasons we manufacture our polytunnels the way we do and show them the diference between the framework, fitings and polythene that we supply and those our competitors supply. To help with your decision we have put together the important quality comparisons that should be made. Our specifications are already filled in and we will leave the rest to you.

Anti hot spot tape manufacturer
We have used the same tape manufacturer for as long as the records date. It seems daily we get offers for tape that costs much less. However our tests have shown that the adhesive simply isn’t up to the job - so much so, we have given up testing other suppliers and stick to what we know!
