I've heard this recently too and was toying with digging up and potting me strawberries, but
a.... Can I be bothered ?
b..... The hens would mess up my gravel path.

So it's looking unlikely.

Just a word of warning. I bought one of the ebay tunnels a few years back. All was well til we got heavy snowfall and the whole frame buckled under the weight. I salvaged what I could and one day I'll work out what to do with it.

That's soul destroying, hope you manage to get salvage it and get it back up and running. I am so pleased with the way mine turned out, we even had a small bowl of strawberries grown inside for tea last night.
