Cordate accordion tunnel for market gardening, 0.60 x 3m (10ft).

This accordion tunnel for market gardening is a high-quality, ready-to-use device that is both efficient and easy to use, designed for all gardeners, even beginners. Its goal is to protect seedlings and plants from the cold, in order to accelerate germination and plant growth to ultimately advance harvests, especially in regions where spring is slow to arrive. This device is composed of a high-quality translucent polyethylene film, light green in color to filter light, with integrated arches. The accordion system allows for adjusting its length according to the size of the garden and folding it completely for storage. 

Dimensions fully unfolded: 0.60m (2ft) wide x 0.43m (1ft) high x 3m (10ft) long.

Features: light green translucent Polyethylene film, treated with UV protection, reusable for several years, equipped with 7 galvanized steel arches.

This forcing tunnel is made of transparent polyethylene with remarkable thickness, which gives it very good resistance to mechanical shocks and good thermal performance. The green mini-tunnels represent the most technically advanced option. This colour indeed allows for a moderate amplification of sunlight, tempering excess heat due to the greenhouse effect and limiting damage caused by the amplification of UV rays, such as burns. The film also serves as an effective physical barrier against wind and hail showers. Thanks to it, the heat accumulated during the day, mainly at ground level, will be released to the seeds or plants during the night, limiting temperature variations, promoting germination, growth, flowering, and fruit ripening. Once the season is over, you can fold up this tunnel, taking up very little space.

Early spring sowing and cultivation of frost-sensitive plants can be done very early in the season (more or less early depending on the region), as long as you have an efficient forcing tunnel. This device, which is extremely easy to implement, will therefore allow for earlier harvests in the season, as well as over a longer period for vegetables such as leeks or lettuces. This cultivation method is suitable for sowing carrots, lettuce, radishes, as well as for creating strawberry beds or even growing melons, courgettes, and other trailing plants. Install the tunnel greenhouse sheltered from the wind and in full sun. Remember to ventilate in good weather and water your crops, especially if the sun is generous.
