If you are lucky and have a choice, and you are prone to heavy winds, then I would advise positioning the polytunnel where it will have the most protection, ie next to a wall, hedge, tree-line, etc. If this isn’t possible it is advisable to position the length of the polytunnel into the prevailing wind. From a growing perspective it is generally accepted that a North to South orientation will generate slightly lower temperatures than East to West where the sun tracks across the long side of the polytunnel.
Hope this helps…
Ours are fine, built on a massive slope in all the wrong directions but they produce loads even if we do have to watch the temperatures sometimes. Good luck!
