Tunnelhouse SpecificationsOur FlexiTunnel Greenhouses are available in a range of configurations or combinations.
Width Standard width of 5m (overall). Length Any lengths from 10m upwards to virtually any lengths required. Height 2.3m high overall, with a clear head height ranging between 1.8m (Portal door) to 1.85m (horizontal member of Hoops). Ask us for height extensions up to 50 cm. Structure The main structural parts are all in steel and hot-dip galvanized after manufacturing, ensuring long live. The Tensioning rods and Turnbuckles are all manufactured in stainless steel to ensure extended trouble-free use of all threaded and moveable parts. Film Fastening System We only use the highest spec’d 3-component film fastening system “Duralock 2” designed for high wind-load applications. It consists of an aluminium profile and a full-length PVC channel and capping bead Plastic Film Cover Covered with a tough 210micron layer of greenhouse grade polyethylene film. This can be substituted with a range of other materials (eg. shade cover) at any time. Ground anchoring FlexiTunnels are secured to the ground with our unique screw anchor system. Every single Hoop is secured with a pair of anchors that are 'screwed' into the ground with the supplied T-Tool. The 600mm long anchors have been tested and can each resist close to 1000kg of pull in average soil conditions. Door Portal The Door Portal consists of a large 1.8m by 2.4m double sliding door big enough to drive a car through. Window/Vent options The Window/Vent Portal comes with a large automated 0.8m x 2.4m window that acts as the primary greenhouse ventilation. Manual ventilation Unlimited ventilation can be achieved by rolling up the sides and/or opening the door(s) and window. The patented design allows for multiple venting options while withstanding strong wind. |
