This accordion tunnel for forcing is a ready-to-use device, very simple to set up and handle, designed to protect crops from the cold in order to accelerate germination and the growth of vegetable or flower plants. It is composed of a high-quality, micro-perforated transparent film with integrated arches. 6 eyelets and 6 fasteners allow the tunnel to be secured to the ground. The accordion system allows its length to be adjusted according to the size of the garden and folded up completely for storage. Treated with UV protection, it can be reused for several years.

This forcing tunnel is made of thick transparent polyethylene, which gives it good resistance to mechanical shocks and good thermal performance. It allows sunlight to pass through while allowing excess heat and moisture released by the plants' respiration to escape through small holes provided for this purpose. It also serves as an effective physical barrier against wind and hail showers. Thanks to the 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. Once the season is over, you can fold up this tunnel, thus taking up very little space.

Early sowing and cultivation of frost-sensitive plants can be done very early in the spring (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 allow you to harvest earlier in the season, as well as over a longer period of time 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 melons and other trailing plants. Install the tunnel greenhouse sheltered from the wind and in full sunlight. Remember to water your crops, especially if the sun is generous.

Detailed features

Directions for use This accordion tunnel with perforated forcing film is installed on a well-levelled, cleaned, weeded, worked and enriched soil. Choose a sunny and sheltered exposure. Thanks to the accordion system, it adapts to the size of your vegetable garden, unfolding or folding up easily and taking up very little space when stored. Easily secure the tunnel to the ground using the fasteners that you will insert into the eyelets provided at the base of the forcing film. This device allows you to sow certain vegetables as early as February, especially carrots, radishes, lettuces, turnips, cabbages... and extend the duration of harvests. It is also ideal for growing strawberries under a tunnel. Remember to open it from time to time, in mild weather, to water and ventilate your crops.
