FAQs
Can I leave the tunnel on all year round?
While it can be used throughout the season, it is best removed during winter or extreme weather to prolong the life of the cover.
Will the cover block too much sunlight?
No, the polyethylene material is transparent and designed to allow sufficient light for plant growth while filtering harmful UV rays.
How do I water my plants inside the tunnel?
You can either use a watering can through the open ends or lift one side of the cover to access your plants directly.
Is the material UV resistant?
The material is designed for outdoor gardening use, though it should be stored out of direct sun during winter to maintain flexibility.
What is the total length of the tunnel?
The tunnel measures 300cm (3 meters) in length.
Does it come with ground stakes?
Please check the included components list in your packaging, though we recommend using additional garden pegs for extra security in windy areas.
Troubleshooting
The tunnel blows over in light wind
Ensure the base is properly anchored with sturdy garden pegs or place heavy stones around the perimeter of the frame.
Condensation is dripping heavily onto plants
Open the drawstring ends during the day to improve airflow and reduce excess humidity levels inside the tunnel.
The cover looks cloudy or dirty
Wipe the exterior of the polyethylene cover with a damp cloth to remove debris and ensure maximum sunlight penetration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the KCT Grow Tunnel requires minimal tools; simply assemble the frame according to the included instructions and slide the polyethylene cover over the structure. To ensure longevity, always secure the base of the tunnel into the ground using garden pegs or heavy stones to prevent the lightweight frame from shifting in the wind. When not in use, ensure the cover is completely dry before folding it to prevent mildew growth. If the cover becomes dusty or muddy, simply wipe it down with a damp cloth or rinse it with a gentle spray of water to maintain light transmission for your plants.
