Polytunnel Inspection App

Polytunnel Inspection App runs structured polytunnel inspections across every site. Inspectors complete forms on a phone or tablet, capture photo and voice evidence on each polytunnel, and raise corrective actions the moment something fails. Managers see polytunnel compliance status, open issues, and performance across every site in real time.

What is Polytunnel Inspection App?

Polytunnel Inspection App runs a structured greenhouse structure inspection covering frame, glazing, or film condition, vents, doors, and thermal screens, heating, irrigation, and CO2 systems, electrical and control systems, and drainage and floor condition, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, greenhouse structure findings live on paper and in chat. A greenhouse structure fault such as damaged glazing or film slips through. An audit then means rebuilding greenhouse structure evidence from folders.

Polytunnel Inspection App keeps one record per greenhouse structure and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each greenhouse structure finding is tracked to verified closure. Horticulture and grower teams see greenhouse structure completion and overdue actions across the agriculture & agritech portfolio. Every greenhouse structure record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.

What to Include in a Polytunnel Inspection App?

A comprehensive greenhouse structure inspection covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Inspect polytunnels with hoop, cover, and door checks plus defect logging and audit-ready reports. Your inspection should include sections for frame, glazing, or film condition; vents, doors, and thermal screens; and heating, irrigation, and CO2 systems, evidence capture, pass/fail or scoring criteria, corrective action assignment, and sign-off, so that nothing is missed and every inspection finding is traceable.

How to Use Polytunnel Inspection App

A consistent routine keeps polytunnel inspections reliable across every site. Follow these steps to run an effective inspection:

  1. Open the assigned polytunnel template on a phone or tablet and confirm the site, polytunnel, date, and inspector.
  2. Work through each section, marking items pass or fail and recording the condition of the polytunnel.
  3. Attach a photo or voice note for any finding, especially damaged glazing or film, vent or screen faults, heating or irrigation faults, electrical or control issues.
  4. For every failed polytunnel item, raise a corrective action with an owner, severity, and due date.
  5. Sign off the polytunnel form. The polytunnel report generates automatically and syncs to the multi-site dashboard.

What Does a Greenhouse Structure Inspection Cover?

A greenhouse structure inspection covers frame, glazing, or film condition, vents, doors, and thermal screens, heating, irrigation, and CO2 systems, electrical and control systems, drainage and floor condition, and structural fixings and wind bracing. Horticulture and grower teams capture photo evidence on each greenhouse structure point. They work offline where signal is poor, then sign the greenhouse structure round off. So every greenhouse structure record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.

What Gets Checked

  • Frame, glazing, or film condition
  • Vents, doors, and thermal screens
  • Heating, irrigation, and CO2 systems
  • Electrical and control systems
  • Drainage and floor condition
  • Structural fixings and wind bracing

Common Defects It Surfaces

  • Damaged glazing or film
  • Vent or screen faults
  • Heating or irrigation faults
  • Electrical or control issues
  • Loose fixings or bracing

Evidence Captured

  • Frame and cover photo
  • Vent and screen photo
  • Services photo

Templates align to structural standards, electrical safety standards.

What Polytunnel Teams Fix When Inspections Move Off Paper

Polytunnel work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Polytunnel Inspection App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.

Polytunnel Inspection App: Polytunnel issues get logged, then quietly forgotten

Polytunnel issues get logged, then quietly forgotten

A failed item is noted during a routine inspection. Nobody owns it, no date is set, and the next inspection finds the same problem on the same polytunnel. The polytunnel issue is logged, not closed.

Problem

  • Failed polytunnel items noted but never assigned to anyone
  • No due date on a polytunnel fix, so nothing is ever overdue
  • The polytunnel fix is marked done with no proof it happened

Solution

  • Every failed polytunnel item becomes an owned corrective action
  • Closure needs a polytunnel verification photo before sign-off
  • Overdue actions escalate automatically
Polytunnel Inspection App: Polytunnel data is scattered across spreadsheets, photos, and chat

Polytunnel data is scattered across spreadsheets, photos, and chat

Some polytunnel records sit in Excel, some in a WhatsApp group, some in a folder of photos. There is no single source of truth for the polytunnel, so every polytunnel question takes an hour and three people to answer.

Problem

  • Polytunnel records split across Excel, chat, and photo folders
  • No single trusted version of the polytunnel record
  • Answering a simple polytunnel question takes hours

Solution

  • One system of record for every polytunnel check and finding
  • Every polytunnel photo and action tied to its record
  • Search any site or polytunnel and get an answer instantly
Polytunnel Inspection App: Polytunnel checks signed off on paper with no proof the polytunnel was actually checked

Polytunnel checks signed off on paper with no proof the polytunnel was actually checked

A polytunnel inspection is ticked off on a paper form. Weeks later someone asks whether the polytunnel was actually checked, and whether damaged glazing or film, vent or screen faults, heating or irrigation faults, electrical or control issues were looked at. Nobody can say for certain the polytunnel passed.

Problem

  • Polytunnel checks recorded on paper with no evidence attached
  • No way to confirm damaged glazing or film, vent or screen faults, heating or irrigation faults, electrical or control issues were actually inspected
  • Polytunnel findings re-keyed into a spreadsheet, with errors and delay

Solution

  • One digital polytunnel form with required fields and validation
  • Photo, GPS, and timestamp on every polytunnel check
  • Polytunnel findings sync to the dashboard, no re-keying

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Polytunnel Inspection App check on a greenhouse structure inspection?

Polytunnel Inspection App runs a structured greenhouse structure inspection covering frame, glazing, or film condition, vents, doors, and thermal screens, heating, irrigation, and CO2 systems, electrical and control systems, and drainage and floor condition. Each point is captured on mobile with photo evidence against it, and a named inspector signs the round off before it can close. The same template runs on every site, so horticulture and grower teams work to one standard rather than a version that drifts between locations. Every record proves what was checked, when, and by whom, so the evidence is ready long before an assessor asks for it.

Which greenhouse structure defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?

The inspection targets the greenhouse structure failures that matter most: damaged glazing or film, vent or screen faults, heating or irrigation faults, and electrical or control issues. Left unchecked, a fault such as damaged glazing or film can mean downtime, a safety incident, or a failed audit, so every finding becomes an owned task with a deadline. It stays open until photo proof of the repair is reviewed, and repeat problems are flagged so horticulture and grower teams fix the cause rather than the symptom. Prioritising by severity means the most serious issues are handled first, not whichever was reported loudest.

Which standards does Polytunnel Inspection App support for greenhouse structure work?

Polytunnel Inspection App keeps greenhouse structure checks aligned to structural standards and electrical safety standards. The photos each standard expects are required fields, so an incomplete check cannot be closed and a gap is caught before an assessor finds it. When a review is due, horticulture and grower teams pull the records for the site in scope with one search instead of rebuilding them from folders. Retention and history stay searchable, so proof remains defensible at any point, not only on the day of an audit.

Can teams run greenhouse structure checks offline and across multiple sites?

Yes. Polytunnel Inspection App is offline-first: teams complete greenhouse structure checks on iOS or Android with no signal, capturing photos and the evidence each check requires in the field. Each record syncs automatically when the connection returns, with its timestamp intact, and the same template runs on every site. So horticulture and grower teams get a live view of what is complete, overdue, or failing per location, and a weak connection in a remote or low-signal area never costs a round or loses a photo.

What evidence proves a greenhouse structure inspection was completed?

Every completed greenhouse structure inspection carries frame and cover photo, vent and screen photo, and services photo, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, horticulture and grower teams can show exactly what was checked, when, and by whom. When an assessor or client asks, the record exports in seconds as a branded PDF or a searchable history, so proof never depends on someone remembering where a photo was saved or which folder holds last quarter's records.
