Single Span Poly tunnels (turnkey/ customized greenhouse project)

Meaning/Definition

Single-span poly tunnels are greenhouse structures consisting of a single arched frame covered with polyethylene film. They provide a controlled environment for crop cultivation, protecting plants from adverse weather conditions and pests while allowing sunlight to enter for photosynthesis.

Common/ Referred names

Single-span poly tunnels are also referred to as hoop houses, low tunnels, single-bay poly tunnels, Low-Cost tunnel Single Span Poly House, Single Tunnel Polyhouse, Single Span Poly Tunnel Hoop House, Low-Cost Poly Tunnel House, Dome Shaped Single Tunnel Polyhouse, Dome Shaped Poly Tunnel Hoop House, Dome Shaped/ Roof Single Span tunnels (turnkey/ customized greenhouse project)

Technical Specifications

Frame Material

Typically constructed from materials such as galvanized steel, aluminum, or PVC pipes to provide structural support and stability.
Dimensions

Single-span poly tunnels come in various sizes, with widths ranging from a few meters to tens of meters and lengths customized to suit specific needs
Covering Material

Polyethylene film is used to cover the frame, providing transparency for sunlight penetration while offering protection from rain, wind, and UV radiation.

Irrigation

Drip irrigation or overhead sprinkler systems can be installed to provide water directly to the plants.
Ventilation

Ventilation systems, such as roll-up side walls or roof vents, are incorporated to regulate airflow and temperature inside the tunnel.
Anchoring

Secure anchoring systems, such as ground stakes or anchor plates, are used to ensure stability, especially in windy conditions.

Applications

Crop Production

Single-span poly tunnels are widely used for the cultivation of various crops, including vegetables, fruits, flowers, and herbs. They provide a protected environment that promotes plant growth and extends the growing season.
Season Extension

These structures enable farmers to start planting earlier in the spring and continue growing later into the fall, effectively extending the growing season and increasing overall crop yield.
Nursery Operations

Single-span poly tunnels are suitable for seedling production and nursery operations, providing an ideal environment for germination and early plant growth.
Research and Education

They are used in agricultural research institutions, universities, and educational facilities for studying crop production, climate management, and greenhouse technology.
Organic Farming

Single-span poly tunnels support organic farming practices by providing a protected environment for crops without the need for synthetic pesticides.

Advantages

Cost-Effective

Single-span poly tunnels are relatively inexpensive to construct and maintain compared to traditional greenhouse structures.
Easy Installation

They can be quickly assembled and disassembled, allowing for seasonal use or relocation to different locations.
Protection

Provides protection from adverse weather conditions, pests, and diseases, resulting in healthier plants and higher-quality crops.

Season Extension

Enables year-round cultivation and extends the growing season, allowing farmers to maximize their crop production and profitability.
Improved Crop Quality

Creates an optimal growing environment with controlled temperature, humidity, and light levels, leading to better crop quality and yield.
Flexibility

Can be customized to suit specific crop requirements and growing conditions, providing flexibility for farmers to adapt to changing needs and preferences.

Conclusion

In summary, single-span poly tunnels offer a cost-effective, versatile, and efficient solution for crop production, season extension, and research, providing farmers with the means to optimize growing conditions and enhance agricultural productivity.
