greenhouse tunnel The Greenhouse tunnel is ideal for tree or cane crops. • • Tall vertical sides maximise space at the sides of the tunnel to allow access for machinery, husbandry, and picking. Long sides of the Greenhouse hoop profile mean that even a tall tunnel has leg tops that are accessible at ground level for operational tasks, such as roping or venting. Haygrove tunnels follow the natural contours of the ground, removing the need for site levelling or concrete foundations, reducing investment and construction time. The Greenhouse tunnel allows full tractor access with internal roadways, wide enough for machinery to turn. High Strength Oval (HSOtm) steel HSO steel is a smart way to add strength to your tunnel structure. The oval shape of the steel adds strength to the tunnel where it’s most needed. HSO steel bends like traditional circular steel but has increased lateral strength due to its flat side. This enhances the tunnel strength in the vulnerable side wind direction. The profile of HSO steel gives the hoops improved strength for a given amount of steel compared to a traditional circular hoop. Haygrove HSO steel is the premium steel choice for growers seeking high strength and excellent value for money. hoop profile GOTHIC

DESIGNED FOR WATER COLLECTiON The profile of the hoop means that rainwater can drop vertically into a steel gutter preventing splash on the crop, and repurposing the water for irrigation. • Haygrove Rainwater Gutters are designed to harvest rainwater run-off from the polytunnels catchment area. • Gutters provide an effective seal to the leg rows which is significant when forcing an early crop. • The risk of water damaging crops is reduced and no water can build up inside the tunnels. • Rainwater gutters are manufactured from pre-galvanised steel, adding considerable strength to the leg row...
