How long is the tunnel?
The tunnel measures 300cm in length.
Can I connect two units together?
Yes, the design allows for multiple units to be linked together to create longer rows.
Does it protect against pests?
Yes, the physical barrier effectively keeps out birds, rabbits, and many common garden insects.
What is the frame made of?
The frame is constructed from sturdy, galvanized steel.
Do I need any tools to set it up?
No, the Greenhouse Tunnel is designed for tool-free assembly.
Troubleshooting
Tunnel blowing over in high winds
Ensure the frame legs are buried or staked as deeply as possible into the soil; add additional ground pegs if necessary.
Plants appear wilted inside the tunnel
High internal temperatures are likely the cause. Open the adjustable drawstrings at both ends to increase cross-ventilation.
Cover looking cloudy or dirty
Clean the exterior with a soft cloth and lukewarm water to restore light penetration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: extend the galvanized frame and push the anchoring points firmly into the soil until the structure is stable. Ensure the soil is moist to make insertion easier. Compatibility is universal across standard garden plots and raised beds, provided the bed width is at least 45cm.
To care for your tunnel, wash the transparent cover periodically with a mild soap and water solution to maintain light transparency. Avoid using sharp tools or harsh chemical cleaners. Always ensure the unit is completely dry before folding it for winter storage to prevent mildew buildup on the fabric.
