Features

The key features of FlexiTunnel’s innovative design are what make it unique to the market:

Flexibility
Flexibility is more than a buzzword:
  • Its unique modular design allows it to be easily extended in 4m modules
  • The structural portals and hoops do not require level ground conditions enabling a FlexiTunnel to be installed on complex or sloping sites
  • The unique film fastening system allows the cover of the tunnel to be changed within minutes - FlexiTunnel Greenhouse (plastic film) can be converted into a Shade-house (fabric cloth) in minutes
  • A FlexiTunnel can be used for multiple other purposes, ranging from storage to livestock shelters and beyond

Portability
The lightweight but sturdy design ensures that once erected, a FlexiTunnel can simply be shifted over a new crop within hours and avoids all the constraints of a permanent structure. If required, it can be easily packed away for a season. The ease of relocating assures you of a high resale value, should your circumstances ever change.

Strength
FlexiTunnels are designed for quick installation and relocation without compromising the need to withstand New Zealand's strong wind conditions. The patented design ensures that it is virtually impossible for the film to come off the tunnel frame, while the structure itself is securely embedded in the ground with the FlexiTunnel screw anchor system.

Durability
All metal parts are either hot dip galvanised, zinc plated or made of stainless steel. The tunnels are covered with a minimum 200micron greenhouse film with a manufactures guarantee of three years (pro rata) and an expected live span of 5 - 7 years plus. The doors and window are clad with twin wall polycarbonate sheets.

Practicality
Every FlexiTunnel comes standard with two End Portals (Door, Window or Closed) and a head clearance of 1.85m allows for good access through the entire tunnel. The film on both sides of the tunnel can be partially or completely lifted to give any amount of access of ventilation as required.

Economical
The low all-inclusive price and its versatility of use, make FlexiTunnel one of the most cost effective crop protection systems available.

Simplicity
FlexiTunnels are delivered on site in kitset form ready to erect. No foundations or on-site welding or cutting is required as all the components arrive ready for assembly. Any size FlexiTunnel up to 500 m2 can easily be erected by "unskilled labour" in a day or two.

Innovative
FlexiTunnel’s innovative “Hoop with inverted Base Frame modules” are a world-first and apatented design (NZ PATENT No. 329514). The commitment to innovation is what keeps FlexiTunnel the market leader.
