The Golden Standards for High Tunnels

Are you worried about how your high tunnel will hold up during heavy snowfalls?

Or maybe you're concerned about strong winds damaging your structure over time?

Choosing the right high tunnel for your farm isn’t just about covering crops—it’s about building something reliable that will last. 


The Gothic Frame: Ideal for Snowy Climates

High Tunnel Kit
If your farm is located in an area that gets heavy snow, you’re going to love our Gothic frame design. 


This shape isn’t just about aesthetics—the pointed arch of the frame is a practical solution for snow-heavy regions. Snow tends to slide off the Gothic frame, reducing the risk of damage due to snow buildup.

Why 4' On-Center Bow Spacing is the Gold Standard

We’ve worked on enough high tunnels to know that bow spacing can make or break the structure. Wider bow spacing might be tempting because it cuts down on the number of bows needed, but we’ve seen firsthand how it can lead to disasters during severe weather events. Even in milder climates, too much space between bows weakens the structure over time.

Trusses and Cross Braces: Critical for Stability and Versatility

For farms in areas with high wind or snow loads, we recommend adding trusses and cross braces to your high tunnel. These components serve as the internal support system, helping to distribute the weight of snow and wind evenly across the structure. Not only do they provide critical stability, but they also make your high tunnel more versatile by offering support for trellised crops like tomatoes or cucumbers.

Why We Choose Bolt-Together Assemblies

Have you ever worried about your high tunnel coming loose in harsh weather? 

Notice other structures weakening over time and want to avoid that for your own?

When it comes to ensuring the long-term stability of your high tunnel, the way it's assembled plays a crucial role. 


Why We Choose Bolt-Together Assemblies

When it comes to how your high tunnel is assembled, bolt-together systems have a clear edge over 
strap-together alternatives. We’ve chosen to go with bolt-together assemblies for several reasons:

They don’t slip: Once bolted together, our assemblies stay secure. You don’t have to worry about things loosening over time, which can happen with straps and clamps.

They’re stronger: A bolted connection is simply more durable, especially in rough weather conditions. This added strength gives you peace of mind that your tunnel will hold up when it matters most.
