High Tunnel Plastic for Off-Season Vegetables

High tunnel plastic helps farmers separate crops from direct winter weather and gives better control over the growing environment. During off-season vegetable production, the cover can help retain daytime warmth and reduce exposure to cold air at night. Proper ventilation is still important because excessive heat and humidity can build up inside a closed tunnel. Side or end openings should be managed according to crop stage, sunlight and outside temperature.

How to Install High Tunnel Plastic Film

• Prepare the Tunnel Structure: Inspect the steel or bamboo frame before installing the film.
• Remove Sharp Edges: Cover or smooth exposed metal, wire or rough bamboo that could puncture the plastic.
• Stretch the Film Evenly: Keep the plastic properly tensioned to reduce unnecessary movement in wind.
• Secure the Sides and Ends: Fix the film firmly according to the tunnel design.
• Plan Ventilation: Keep suitable side or end openings so excess heat and humidity can escape.
• Inspect After Strong Wind: Check the film and fixing points after severe weather.

Ventilation & Temperature Management

• Open side ventilation when the tunnel becomes excessively warm during sunny periods.
• Reduce unnecessary openings during cold weather when heat retention is needed.
• Avoid keeping the tunnel completely closed for long periods if humidity becomes excessive.
• Monitor crop condition as well as outside temperature.
• Adjust ventilation according to weather, crop stage and internal tunnel conditions.

How to Protect Tunnel Plastic from Damage

• Keep the film away from sharp wire, exposed metal and rough frame surfaces.
• Do not drag the plastic over stones, rough soil or machinery during installation.
• Maintain proper tension because loose film can flap strongly in wind and tear earlier.
• Inspect fixing points regularly throughout the growing season.
• Clean dirt carefully without scratching or puncturing the plastic surface.

Storage & Handling

• Store unused tunnel plastic in a cool, dry and shaded place.
• Avoid unnecessary sunlight exposure before installation.
• Keep the roll away from sharp tools and excessive heat.
• If removed for reuse, clean and roll the film carefully instead of folding it tightly.
• Keep stored film away from materials or chemicals that could damage the plastic.
