Polyshade tunnel- Rain protection + Cool in summer
Redpath is NZ’s largest greenhouse manufacturer and we have supplied 1000’s of our home tunnelhouses to happy customers nationwide. Our huge range of options also allows you to spec your Polyshade design tunnelhouse to your exact needs. The tunnels use sturdy one piece 32mm square aluminium for all hoops. The Duratough 215 micron commercial greenhouse film covering fitted over the roof and sides is included and it has a 10 year + service life. Duratough is specifically designed to grow plants and includes high level P.A.R light transmission to help lock in night-time temperatures and give superior light levels during the day. Duratough is durable against storm, sun, snow and hail plus it is safe around the home.
Polyshade tunnels have quality commercial grade knitted 30% shadecloth fitted to the end walls and the door as standard.
The framework and base rail(s) are 100% aluminium so there is no timber to rot or steel to rust. The frame profile includes a built-in fastening track to permanently secure the covering. The track also allows you to fit any common brand of greenhouse film or shadecloth when the time comes for replacement, allowing you to avoid sourcing expensive custom made covers.
All models include a quality 650mm wide sliding roller bearing aluminium door. The 6m thru to 12m length tunnels include a 1.6m length roof vent, the 15m and longer tunnels include Three roof vents and a quality 650mm wide sliding roller bearing aluminium door in rear wall. An optional solar powered automatic opener can be fitted to all vents, as can optional sidewall louvre vents. You can also add 300mm deep aluminium shelves to the sidewall(s) or across the rear wall of the tunnel. For extra cooling in the summertime you can also select an optional temporary “throw-over’ shadecloth cover or fit a full length fixed sidewall 350mm deep shadecloth sidewall vent screen. An option for exposed site is to select the ” X” wind option which adds building wall and arch bracing for exposed sites.

We include a NZ factory warranty and to make assembly easier we also deliver the Polyshade tunnelhouse 50% pre-constructed.
