Polythene

Haygrove Tunnels can be covered using polythene, shade net, insect net or hail net. The materials are held onto the structure using a continuous roping system uniquely designed by Haygrove.

Where required, a combination of tunnel cover materials can be used. For example, in situations where crops are vulnerable to both excessive heat and rain, then the Tunnels can be clad with polythene to eliminate rain and a second cover of shade net to mitigate the effects of high temperature.

Alternatively growers can cover the tunnels for part of the year using polythene and then ‘de-skin’ the tunnels and re-skin with a shade for those periods of the year where high temperatures are the major challenge.
