I think it's a fantastic bargain! One I'm going to use for Boris on cool mornings outside, and the other I'm going to put over the bed where I plant my runner beans - should bring them on more quickly.

Yes I saw those, think I will get a couple. The also sell the bottom (seed) tray to go with them.
Again, this could be cut to make an opening for them to go in and out at will.

They didn't have any of the trays at my B&Q for some reason (they didn't know why), but I think I'm just going to stand it on a row of bricks all round and leave one brick out for a doorway (although if it's windy it could blow the sun tunnel off the bricks - mmm thinking cap needs to go back on <g>).

veebee, hi viv ...I did see the seed trays illustrated on the box, but after asking at 2 branches (and also a phone call) I was told that B&Q did not have them ...I would be interested to know if you have seen/bought one? cheers ...T.T. 8)

I think I might nip out to get a sun tunnel- it would fit right over my babies outdoor enclosure when it was cold

My B&Q were selling them for £8 so went to B&Q near Deb's (glitter) and got them there for £5 instead. Saved £9
