Cross Bracing
For polyhouse models which do not include cross-bracing as standard, this is available as an optional extra. Cross bracing is a horizontal and vertical bracing arrangement across the span of a hoop. It can increase the resistance to snow and wind loadings particularly in exposed positions and can, in some instances, be used as a ‘crop support’ for the hanging of baskets/containers and irrigation lines.
Doors
Our door kits contain all the parts required; hinges, screws, handles, and for sliding doors, our extruded aluminium top track and steel base rail. Please note that door kits do not include timber and frames. To establish the correct door and louver options, please refer to individual products.
Timber doors
We can supply joinery made timber doors, either single or double, low cost hinged or sliding.
The small tunnels (up to 18ft/5.5m wide) can normally only fit hinged doors because of the lack of width for sliding. For these smaller tunnels the standard door panels are; 6.6ft (2m) high and approximately 1.2m wide. For tunnels 21ft (6.4m) and wider, the doors are 6.9ft (2.1m) high.
Aluminium doors
We can supply aluminium framed sliding doors, clad with rigid polycarbonate and an aluminium base panel
THE STANDARD RANGE
STANDARD 18 FOOT
The Smallest of the Standard Range available, this is a versatile, competively priced unit suitable for all crops. A low cost high quality structure frame,using large diameter Z35 tube, all with single ridge and all set onswaged foundation tubes. These polyhouses are fast to build and have a secure anchorage to the ground. All standards have excellent side clearance and shoulder room, coupled withlower height profile, which can be an advantage for planning permission purposes.
STANDARD 21 FOOT
The Standard21 Foot; Ventilation is dramitically important with increased tunnel width, because of the greater height and volume of air. Side ventilation is very economic on structures of 21ft and upwards. All door and vent options are available for this tunnel.
STANDARD 24 FOOT
The 24 Foot wide has excellent side clearance, and with the extra span, this size allows for greater flexability for path layoiut and crops.
STANDARD 28 FOOT
This structure was introduced 32 years ago and set the standard for the UK tunnel industry. It is highly cost effective with excellent side clearance. High strength and uncluttered design, has made it the choice for thousands of growers throughout Europe. Any combination of vents and doors can be added.
THE EURO RANGE
THE EURO 5m
Our design expertise has allowed us to manufacture the superb Euro Range. With all hoops positioned to be completely vertical for the first 3ft 3ins (1m) from ground level. there is great clearance for access or for plants. It assists ventilation where side rails are set up to 4ft (1200mm) and does not cause rain to drip into the structure. All polyhouses, with the exceptionof the 5m span, use 60mm Z35 high tensile steel tube, galvanised for maximum corrosion prevention. The high tensile 50mm tube allows flora hoop spacing of 2m. The vertical size ensures maximum space utilisation in this relatively narrow structure.
THE EURO RANGE
THE EURO 6m
Despite the vertical size, clever design has kept the ridge height down to only 3.2 mtrs. This structure allows for excellent ventilation and maximum strength. hoop spacing, as all Euro's is 2m. All door and vent combinations can be used.
Euro 7m
The Euro 7m is a great all round structure, ideal for almost any crop, with excellent side clearance, yet retaining a ridge height of only 3.3m. This structure is the tunnel of choice for many small to medium nurseries. All door and vent combinations can be used. The structure includes crossbracing as standard, which is often used for basket or other crop support. The single span can use all door and vent options.
Euro 9m
The Euro 9m (30ft) span, offers excellent cost per unit area, with wonderful air space, and almost always used with side ventillation for optimum growing conditions. The ridge height of 3.5m allows almost any plants to be grown.
THE MULTISPAN RANGE
The Multi CBV
This range also includes alluminium gutters with grip rail cladding systems. they have completely vertical sides to the gutter height of 8ft. (2.44m). Eave gutters and cross-braces, for crop support, are included as standard on all Multilink CBV Polytunnels. the structure comprises only steel and aluminium for side rails and end frames.
HYBRID
The CBV Hybrid Polytunnel offers customers a maximum ventilation growing enviroment with standard 3m straight sides. Using 80mm X 80mm box section stansions and internal spacings on 16ft. (4.9m) to give greater growing or sales area. Aluminium gutters and steel skirts are standard with aluminium and polycarbonate doors. If required roof ventilation can be added to work with roll up side vents, automation is an optional extra. The structure can be used using single or twin polythene methods. The structure can also offer a plant sales canopy solution for retail nurseries and farm shops that do not require full retail classification.
The 21ft. Multilink CBV
This tunnel set the standard for the UK horticulture over 30 years ago, when it was introduced. this structure illiminates the use of any timber, with steel and aluminium ends as standard. Another important feature is the aluminium valley and eave gutters, which will save on maintainance costs and will never rust. The sides are completely vertical, and include mid-rail within the costs. Side ventilation is simple and easy to install either at height or low level. This structure can also offer a plant sales canopy solution for retail nurseries and farm shops, that do not require full retail classification.
The 26ft. Multilink CBV
This tunnel has the same great featuresas the 21ft. CBV but uses 60mm high tensile tube and welded stansions. It is ideal where greater internal space is required for a wide range of vegetable, ornamental or nursery stock crops. Available as standard with steel or aluminium ends to illiminate all timber. Very little maintainance is required once built. The structure can also offer a plant sales canopy solution for retail nurseries and farm shops, that do not require full retail classification.
