The tunnel measures 3 meters in length and 2 meters in width.
The cover is made from a heavy 150g/sm crossweave, ripstop material.
Yes, the hotspot tape is a wear item and should be inspected annually and replaced if it shows signs of wear to prevent cover damage.
The tunnel has enhanced stability features like internal bracing and a ground bar kit, making it stronger against wind than basic models. However, in very severe weather, additional anchoring is recommended.
Ventilation is managed through four netted window vents (two on each side) and the option to fully open or partially zip the front and rear doors.
Assembly generally requires two people and careful adherence to instructions. Ensure all bracing is correctly installed for optimal stability.
The wide ground skirt is designed to be buried or weighted down, creating a seal around the base of the tunnel to prevent drafts and keep pests out.
Ensure the cover is pulled taut during installation and that the ground skirt is securely fastened. Check that all frame sections are correctly joined and that bracing bars are properly installed.
Verify that all internal bracing bars (corner diagonals, central roof brace) and the ground bar kit are correctly attached as per the assembly instructions. Ensure the tunnel is on level ground.
Apply the provided anti-hotspot tape to the areas where the cover contacts the frame, particularly at joints and stress points. For small tears, consider using specialized repair tape for poly tunnels.
Check for any obstructions around the door frame or zipper. Ensure the frame itself is not distorted. Lubricate zippers if necessary with a silicone-based lubricant.
Ensure the ground is level and has adequate drainage. The ground skirt should be buried or weighted down to prevent water ingress. The cover should have a slight slope towards the edges if possible.
Setup: Ensure you have a clear, level area of at least 3m x 2m for placement. Assembly typically requires two people for easier handling of the frame components. Follow the included instructions carefully, paying close attention to the positioning of the bracing bars and the ground bar kit for maximum stability. Secure the ground skirt effectively to create a seal. Apply the provided hotspot tape to any points where the cover will come into contact with the frame poles.
Compatibility: This poly tunnel is designed for outdoor garden use. It is compatible with standard ground anchoring methods (stakes or weights, often sold separately) for added security in windy locations. Ensure your chosen site has adequate drainage.
Care: Regularly check the tension of the cover and the integrity of the frame. Clean the cover periodically with mild soapy water and a soft brush; avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure vents are kept clear of debris. Inspect the hotspot tape annually and replace if worn. During severe weather, consider removing the cover or adding extra anchoring for safety.
