Winter fleece tunnel 0.60 x 5 m (16ft)

This accordion-style pre-assembled tunnel is very easy to set up and move. It protects against the cold thanks to its 60g/m2 fleece which also allows the plants to breathe. This device can advance or extend harvests by 2 to 4 weeks depending on the region. It is composed of a fleece with integrated steel hoops. The accordion system allows for adjusting its length according to the size of the garden and fully folding it for storage.

 Fully unfolded dimensions: 0.60m (2ft) width x 5m (16ft) length x 43cm (17in) height.

Features: reusable winter fleece, equipped with hoops

This winter tunnel is made of translucent polyethylene with remarkable thickness, which gives it excellent resistance to mechanical shocks and good thermal performance. It allows sunlight to pass through while allowing excess heat and moisture released by the plants' respiration to escape through small holes. It also serves as an effective physical barrier against wind and hail showers. Thanks to the material, the heat accumulated during the day, mainly at ground level, will be released to the seeds or plants during the night, which activates germination, growth, flowering, and fruit ripening. Once the season is over, you can fold this tunnel to take up very little space.

Sowing and cultivating frost-sensitive plants can be done very early in the spring (earlier or later depending on the region), as long as you have an efficient forcing tunnel. This device, which is extremely simple to implement, will allow for earlier harvesting in the season, as well as over a longer period for vegetables such as leeks or lettuces. This cultivation method is suitable for sowing carrots, lettuce and radishes, as well as creating strawberry beds or even melons and other trailing plants. Install the tunnel sheltered from the wind and in full sunlight. Remember to water your crops, especially when its sunny.
