WHY THE HiLo TUNNEL? As a world leader in the design, manufacture and supply of commercialscale polytunnels and substrate systems, Haygrove is proud to introduce the new HiLo tunnel - giving you the potential to significantly increase quality, increase yield and reduce labour costs. Open and close tunnels when you want, irrespective of labour costs. There is no longer a need to compromise the tunnel environment or sacrifice leg row fruit to weather damage. This gives the potential for significantly increased quality and yield. REDUCE LABOUR Labour costs are increasing while labour availability is decreasing. Automation on a field scale is an ever-growing priority. Venting and covering the tunnels are the most time-consuming tunnel management practices. The HiLo tunnel greatly reduces the amount of time - and labour - needed to effectively manage the tunnel’s internal climate. RETURN ON INVESTMENT We understand the soft fruit market and recognise the need for a quick return on investment. The HiLo offers a mechanised solution for venting with options for a single rack and pinion vent in the apex, combined with a roller vent at gutter height or a double rack and pinion vent in the apex. Both options offer greater control over the climate in the tunnel. Hoop HiLo hoop

KEY FEATURES HIGH LEG Gutter height is 2m or 2.5m. Multi-span air flow is above the crop height and allows for easy machinery and personnel access. LOW APEX Reduces exposure to wind and mitigates issues with planning height restrictions. BAY WIDTH Optimised for crop density, machinery specifications and structure strength. The HiLo profile maximises air volume for area covered to help regulate internal climate for higher yields and consistent fruit quality throughout the season. APEX VENTS Apex vents are the most effective place to vent. Opening the vents prevents a mass of hot air...
