70-microns Nortene Tunnel Film for Tomato Forcing

This Nortene tunnel forcing film for tomatoes can be used for several years. Specially designed for gardeners growing vegetables in general and tomatoes in particular, it enables an earlier start to cultivation and provides extended harvests. It is set up on arches to create a large-scale forcing tunnel, which is both efficient and durable. Dimensions: 3m (10ft) in length by 3.5m (11ft) in width.  Arches and attachments are sold separately.

This forcing film is made of transparent low-density polyethylene with a remarkable thickness of 70 microns, which gives it very good resistance to mechanical shocks and good thermal performance. It also provides an effective physical barrier against wind and hail showers. Thanks to this film, the heat accumulated during the day, mainly at ground level, will be released to the seeds or plants during the night, which activates germination, growth, flowering, and fruit ripening. Treated with anti-UV to better withstand the sun and weather, it can be reused for several years.

Early sowing and cultivation of frost-sensitive plants can be done very early in spring (depending on the regions), as long as you have an efficient forcing film. This simple device means you can harvest earlier in the season, and over a longer period. Use it to grow tomatoes, leeks, or lettuces. This cultivation method also works very well for sowing carrots and radishes, as well as strawberries, melons, and other trailing plants. Attach this forcing film to arches. Ensure the structure is in full sun, sheltered from the wind. Water and ventilate from time to time, especially in sunny conditions.
