FAQs

What are the dimensions of the different grow tunnel sizes?

The grow tunnels are available in three lengths: 130cm (2 sections), 195cm (3 sections), and 260cm (4 sections). All sizes are 60cm wide and 50cm tall.

Does the white internal grid affect light for plants?

No, the white internal grid is designed to maximize the absorption of essential blue and red light wavelengths that plants need for healthy growth, while blocking less sunlight than covers with green grids.

How do I secure the grow tunnel against strong winds?

Utilize the pegging points around the base of the cover and firmly secure them to the ground using the included ground stakes. Ensure the cover is also tied tightly to the frame.

Can I use this grow tunnel on a patio?

Yes, the sturdy steel framework and included ground stakes make it suitable for use on a patio or balcony, provided you have a suitable surface to stake it into or can weigh down the base effectively.

How many doors does the grow tunnel have?

The grow tunnel features an individual roll-up zipper door on each section. For example, the 2-section tunnel has two doors, the 3-section has three, and the 4-section has four doors.

Is assembly difficult and do I need tools?

No, assembly is designed to be easy and requires no tools. The frame is a click-together system of steel poles and plastic connectors.

What is the cover made of?

The cover is made of a reinforced polyethylene material. It features a white internal grid sandwiched between two layers of polyethylene for extra strength and durability.

Troubleshooting

Grow tunnel cover is loose or flapping in the wind.

Ensure all pegging points are securely fastened to the ground using the provided stakes. Check that the cover is tied snugly to the frame at multiple points.

Frame sections are difficult to connect.

Verify that the poles are fully inserted into the connectors and that there are no obstructions. Ensure you are using the correct pole and connector pairings as per the assembly guide.

Zipper on the roll-up door is stiff or sticking.

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth. You can apply a small amount of graphite lubricant (pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper track.

Small tears or holes appear in the cover.

For minor tears, a strong, waterproof repair tape designed for outdoor use can be applied to the inside and outside of the cover. For larger damage, consider replacing the cover.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent protection against pests, birds, and adverse weather conditions.
  • Promotes healthier plant growth due to optimized light penetration and insulation.
  • Easy and quick assembly with no tools required.
  • Individual doors offer convenient access and better temperature/airflow control.
  • Multiple sizes available to suit different growing spaces.

Cons

  • Requires proper staking in windy areas for maximum stability.
  • The PE cover, while durable, may be susceptible to punctures from sharp objects over time.
  • Smaller plants may outgrow the 50cm height relatively quickly.
  • While designed for wind resistance, prolonged or extreme weather may still pose a challenge without additional securing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Assembly is straightforward and requires no tools. First, connect the powder-coated steel poles using the provided plastic connectors to build the frame. Once the frame is assembled, drape the reinforced PE cover over it. Secure the cover to the frame using the integrated ties. Finally, use the included ground stakes to firmly anchor the pegging points around the base of the tunnel into the soil or ground for stability.

Compatibility: This grow tunnel is designed for outdoor use in gardens, allotments, and on patios or balconies. It is compatible with most soil types for pegging. It can be placed over existing raised beds or directly on the ground. Ensure the chosen location receives adequate sunlight for your plants.

Care: To maintain the grow tunnel, periodically check that the frame connections are secure and the cover is properly tied. Clean the PE cover with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary; avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure the grounds stakes are firmly in place, especially after windy weather. Store the cover and frame components separately during off-seasons to prolong their lifespan, protecting them from UV damage and extreme temperatures.
