Product Overview
The Single-Span Tunnel Greenhouse is a fundamental and cost-effective structure designed to protect crops and extend the growing season. Its simple arched design, combining a metal frame with a plastic film cover, offers an accessible entry point into protected cultivation. This greenhouse is an ideal choice for growers in temperate climates or for seasonal production, providing a significant advantage over open-field farming at a modest investment.
Core Structure & Materials
The design prioritizes functionality, ease of installation, and value.
1. Galvanized Steel Frame: The arched skeleton is constructed from galvanized steel pipes or tubing. The hot-dip galvanization provides essential rust protection, ensuring durability for several seasons. The standardized, lightweight components allow for straightforward assembly.
2. Plastic Film Cover: The structure is covered with a durable, UV-stabilized polyethylene (PE) or polyolefin (PO) film. This film is selected for its good light transmission and toughness, effectively creating a warmer microclimate and shielding plants from light frosts, wind, and heavy rain.
Key Features & Benefits
• Low Initial Investment: Offers the most economical entry into greenhouse growing, with a fast potential return on investment for seasonal crops.
• Simple & Quick Installation: The uncomplicated design and pre-fabricated parts enable rapid setup with minimal labor or specialized tools, reducing initial setup time and cost.
• Effective Season Extension: Effectively captures solar heat, allowing for earlier planting in spring and later harvesting in autumn compared to open fields.
• Improved Crop Quality: Provides a physical barrier against birds, some pests, and adverse weather, leading to cleaner, less damaged produce.
• Good Ventilation Options: Large doors at each end facilitate essential air circulation. Sidewall roll-up features can be added for enhanced temperature and humidity control.
• Adaptable & Flexible: Available in various widths and lengths to fit different plot sizes and crop layouts. It can be used as a standalone unit or in multiples.
Typical Applications
This greenhouse is perfectly suited for:
• Seasonal Vegetable Production: Growing tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, leafy greens, and herbs during the warmer months.
• Berry Cultivation: Providing an excellent environment for strawberries, raspberries, and other soft fruits.
• Nursery & Seedling Starting: Creating a protected space to raise robust seedlings for transplanting into open fields.
• Flower Production: Cultivating seasonal cut flowers or bedding plants.
• Frost Protection & Rain Shelter: Shielding early-season or late-season crops from light frosts and excessive rainfall.
Considerations for Best Results
• Primarily Seasonal: Best utilized in spring, summer, and autumn. In colder winters without supplemental heating, it may not support active growth.
• Ventilation is Key: Proper management of vents and doors is crucial on sunny days to prevent overheating.
• Film Replacement: The plastic film is a consumable material and will typically require replacement every 2-4 seasons depending on film quality and local weather conditions.
