Solo Pre-Pack
The range of Haygrove ‘Tunnel in a Box’ are designed to be delivered direct to site. The kits come with all parts for the complete tunnel build including anchoring, steel frame, polythene and roller doors. The box also includes a comprehensive construction and management manual so the unit can be built by local staff.
A range of 3 tunnel designs are available:
Haygrove Solo Tunnel
The Solo Tunnel’s foundations comprise of 0.8m (2’8’’) steel anchors screwed into the soil. From these anchors the main hoop is erected to form the main arch of the tunnel, with the hoops braced using a steel top bar.
The Solo Tunnel is designed for smaller air volume to create an environment to force crops as early as possible. The tunnel is 8.5m (28’) wide, with vertical side walls of 0.5m (20’’) and is 3.6m (12’) at the apex.
Haygrove Super Solo Tunnel
The Haygrove Super Solo Series Tunnel provides all the advantages of a well-sealed single bay structure but with the air volume of traditional multi-span Tunnels.
Vertical side walls are manufactured to be 1.2m (4’) from the soil before forming the arch. Height at the apex is then constructed to 4m (13’2’’). In addition, the Super Solo Tunnel is specified with steel cross trellising to enable growers to trellis climbing plants or suspend hanging baskets directly from the structure.
Ideally Suited For:
- Growers wanting to force early crops such as strawberries, blueberries and asparagus
- The taller Super-Solo option is ideal for trellising tomatoes, peppers or for table-top production of strawberries
- Nursery and specialist propagation units
Haygrove Solo Gothic Tunnel
Specifically designed for growers needing extended season cover – the Gothic Solo is capable of managing snow events and is built to be extremely strong in the wind. For a discussion on the snow or wind specification required for your location please speak to us.
The foundations for the tunnel are created by screwing 0.8m (2’8’’) steel anchors into the soil. From these anchors the main hoop is erected to form the arch of the tunnel. The standard specification is based on the hoops spaced at 1.2m (4’) centres using the highest grade of extra strong (XS) galvanised steel. The Gothic comes complete with adjustable telescopic steel cross trellising to enable crops to be trellised directly onto the structure.
For good tractor and machinery access the vertical walls of the Gothic Solo are 1.2m (4’) and the apex of the tunnel is built to a height of 4.3m (14’).
