WHAT IS A GREENHOUSE TUNNEL?
Greenhouse tunnels, often referred to as a hoop house or high tunnel greenhouse, are structures made of a pipe frame that is typically covered with a single-layer greenhouse poly film. Its an enclosed space that allows a grower to manipulate conditions to increase yield and pack out rates. Greenhouses also reduce crop damage from climate events and predation. BA commercial Greenhouse tunnels Eastern Cape can be constructed in a range of sizes to suit both small orchards, nurseries and large agri-businesses.
Inside of a high tunnel, crops are often grown directly in the ground. However, growers can also utilize other setups within their structure, like raised beds or potted systems. No matter the growing method, operations should be able to bolster crop production and increase profit potential in no time at all.
With decades of experience and innovation we are committed to helping our clients shield and yield their crops sustainably. South African climate challenges mean that fruit, flower and vegetable growers require accurate temperate and pest controls for propagation and seedling production. We design our greenhouses to accommodate compact rolling benches to optimise space and enable hydroponic irrigation. Our commercial greenhouse tunnels Eastern Cape can be installed with a range of canopy styles and covers for multi-season growing and varied nursery applications.

GREENHOUSE TUNNELS EASTERN CAPE BENEFITS
A high tunnel greenhouse allows operations to extend the growing season, producing in-ground crops for a longer period each year. These structures help protect plants amidst extreme heat, cold temperatures, frost, snow and overly rainy seasons.
Using durable steel-tube construction and various covering materials, like poly film or shade cloth, operations can start growing in early spring, produce high-quality crops right through summer and then gain an extra harvest later in the fall.
In addition to generating more crops throughout the year, growers should also be able to use Greenhouse tunnels Eastern Cape to make their yields larger and higher in quality.
Many studies have proven that, compared to an open-field setting, high tunnels provide an improved growing environment where crops can grow more vigorously. The structures offer greater control over essential inputs, like water, fertilizer and temperature, as well as protection from harsh weather that can reduce crop loss. Subsequently, growers can start to produce in-ground crops that are comparable to greenhouse plants.
Outside of the structure itself, a high tunnel greenhouse can also be used to optimize production on the rest of an operation’s fertile land. Growers can take advantage of seed propagation, protecting seedlings before they are transferred to outdoor rows and produced outside of their structure. By getting a jump on propagation early in the year, growers can be ready to plant their seedlings as soon as the weather allows
Since BA Greenhouse Tunnels Eastern Cape are manufactured in-house, they are able to be economically priced. Despite the reasonable price, they are still strong and ultra-dependable. The economical price, combined with the their superior functionality, allows growers to get a quick return on their investment.
A movable high tunnel is a valuable tool for any grower, as it provides them with a durable, permanent structure that can also be relocated as needed. Fortunately, most high tunnel greenhouses are very simple to assemble and disassemble.
They usually only require unbolting the rafters from the ground posts, removing the cover and moving the structure to a new location. The ground posts can be reused, but it is often times easier to order new ones. Once the structure has been relocated, install the ground posts, bolt on the rafters and put the poly covering back on.
Lengthwise, BA high tunnels can be extended infinitely with little complication. This allows the structure to adapt to each operation’s specific needs. As their business grows, so can the structure.
In a high tunnel or hoop house, growers benefit from convenient air circulation, without having to install extensive ventilation systems. Most our high tunnels include either Roll-Up or Drop-Down Sides, both of which ensure easy manual ventilation for superior climate control.
The main advantage of Drop-Down Sides is where the air comes into the hoop house, and the temperature of the air. The air enters the structure above the plants, and as the air becomes warm, it rises. The plants themselves are not exposed to cold air.
The protected environment in the high tunnel also leads to a reduced occurrence of insect and mite pests. Additionally, it creates a less hospitable environment for diseases, reducing the occurrence of outbreaks. This allows growers to limit their dependence on pesticides and other chemicals.
BA High Tunnels have been used all over the country, and the diversity of crops seems endless. They allow growers to experiment with early varieties and can also allow for multiple crop rotations within the growing season. Operations have found success cultivating a variety of crops, including leafy greens, vegetables, blueberries, cherries, grapes and much more.
