Features:

  • Forms a complete barrier against frost and harsh weather, animals, and pests, and creates warmth and insulation while allowing air, moisture, and sunlight to filter through.
  • Quick and easy to use, Easy Tunnels are manufactured as a patented, one-piece design that open like an accordian and fold neatly away after use; it's a breeze to setup and put away!
  • Made from long-lasting UV-stabilized, 45gsm heavy-weight polypropylene fleece with rust-proof, galvanized steel hoops, which easily go into the ground to secure and keep the tunnel in position.
  • Drawstring ends allow access and degree of desired ventilation for your plants; steel hoops allow you to use the entire length of the tunnel or set it up to your desired length.
  • Dimensions: 118"L x 18"W x 12"H; also available in larger size and other materials
Me & My Plants are Happy :)

As others have said, this is a good product. Nicely packaged (that can be re-used for storage) fabric, wire hoops and drawstring closure are all sturdy, seams well sewn etc. It would be hard to buy the fabric and the hoops for the $20 ish price. (unless maybe you bought the wire and bent it into the unique shape yourself) The only downside for me is that I wish the material were just a little bit wider so that it came down further on the sides. It does reach to the ground but in my situation, the brutal wind here easily gets under the sides and there's not much material available to be able to anchor them. (If you have softer soil you may be able to sink the hoops a little deeper than I can therefore maybe have some material to anchor.) It has stayed in place just fine; no problem there but I would like to protect my plants from the wind a little better. The "fleece" material is more substantial than it looks in the picture and is comparable to "N-Sulate" or other deluxe or supreme grade plant protection fabric - 1.5 oz - of which I have a roll of. So I'm going to try to make another cover a few inches wider and see if that helps. I was planning on making a back-up for whenever this one wears out anyway. For those who mentioned removing and replacing their tunnel each day, I just push the material all down to one side when the weather is nice enough and/or I want my plants to get some rain. This is one of the reasons I like this construction. Since the smoothly finished hoops go through (wide) sewn tunnels in the material vs draping material over hoops etc., it makes it very easy to slide the material on the hoops w/everything intact and have your cover open or closed as needed. Another nice thing, if you only wanted to cover a few plants or need less than the full length, is that you could easily take out a hoop or two and make it shorter. Btw, this type of fabric is breathable and rain/snow will wet and probably eventually penetrate this fabric but not near as much as lighter weight plant protection fabrics. Often, moisture will mostly bead up, lay on top of this. This is actually preferable to me in many winter type instances; you don't want your plants getting wet and then having to endure freezing temperatures. Just fyi to apply to your particular usage. If anyone is wondering about dimensions: (since I took it all apart and measured) The size of the finished fabric, laid out flat, is 46" wide x 150" long. There's approx. 23.5" between each of the 6 hoops/their seamed enclosures. Then about 16" of material after each end hoop to the drawstring. The nicely-shaped, heavy gauge wires measure about 58" in total length. Once inserted in the ground and depending on how wide or narrow you spread the the hoops, you have a tunnel covering at least 18-20" high x 18-20" wide and about 10ft long - maybe a little longer if you can utilize the drawstring end sections. I have it spread about a 2 ft wide. I think you could go to at least 30" wide but of course then your height would be lowered a little - to maybe 15"? (Just a guess; you'll have to call in a mathematician or try it yourself to know for sure.) Still high enough for many crops. Also, wanted to pass on that I have found these "Re-Pins" http://www.amazon.com/DeWitt-Company-Re-Pins-Red-Count/dp/B004SI6FG8/ref=sr_1_1?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1416641051&sr=1-1&keywords=re-pins to be an excellent product for non-permanent anchoring of frost and shade fabric, plastic etc. After endlessly trying to hammer in various metal ones into my hard, rocky ground (and them often bending) for whatever reason (maybe the shape/design?) I can get usually hand push these plastic Re-pins in and they stay in! They're reusable, easy to see and remove and have held up well. You can find them in packs of 10 or 25 if you search around. Right now, it seems that only a 300 pack is available here on Amazon but I posted the link so you have the exact name and can see what they look like. Hopefully maybe they'll carry smaller quantities here in the future. Hope that helps. Happy Gardening!

Works great.

Bought it to start out my tomatoes and squash, as the Texas sun can be super harsh and my hood is crawling with hungry wildlife. Worked great, moved up to a larger product. Am keeping this for the next planting I have planned. Works great.

Best thing I ever did for my Minnesota garden!

I used these for the first time on my raised bed vegetable garden and it extended the growing season by 6 weeks through our cold fall nights in Minnesota! It was awesome eating fresh picked kale and broccoli into late November! Super easy to use and worked better than expected PLUS they are re-usable! I can't wait to see how they work in the spring for early planting

This thing made my onions and lettuce grow in an Idaho "spring" which included snow, freezes, and a plethora of other crazy temperatures. In April I was harvesting full salads that tasted summer fresh. Give this thing a try, for the price, it can't be beat.

this is perfect! strong for the rain and wind

this is perfect! strong for the rain and wind. but soft and warm..protects my plants perfectly. I used with HARVEST-GUARD to wrap around. used clothes pin for put both together so you can open and closed any time. still growing my cherry tomato bitter melon and egg-plant.

Tunnel of my dreams

This more than met my expectations. It's sturdy, well-designed, and easy to install and remove. We have had a cold spring in New Hampshire and my tomato seedlings are thriving under the tunnel, where they are warm, getting full sun, and are well- protected from wind. I am most impressed by the quality of materials and construction. I intend to order several more to extend my fall growing season. I think the length and height are just right to be practical and easy to handle. The tunnel looks like it will give excellent service for at least several years.

Very impressed

This micromesh tunnel is from a company known for quality products and this product is no exception. It is unbelievably well made, easy to use and easily collapses to store flat in the included packaging bag. I can imagine this will be useful for many growing seasons and I will be ordering a second one. I also really like watering through the mesh. It diffuses the water for a rain effect so that seedlings and tender plants aren't battered. But the best part? No more salad bar browsing by deer.

Save the Cabbages

Each year is a battle with the cabbage worm and butterfly. It is enough that I have thought at times to give up on cabbages and caulis. This year I am fighting back with the Tierra Garden 50-5030 Haxnicks Easy Micromesh Tunnel, Giant. When I opened the package it looked simple enough. Comes in a nice reusable bag for winter storage. Later: I just set it up, and it was easy, just pull out of the bag, stretch it out and stick it in the ground. It would extend twice as far as I have stretched it out, quite impressive. Next year I will change the plan to best utilize the capabilities of the tunnel. The continuing saga of war against the cabbage worm is at fransvictorygarden.us/category/tunnel/.

Easy to install, great value and a great product

This product is extremely easy to install. You just lay it down in the right place, push the thin metal rods in to the ground and you are done. I love it. This is my second time ordering. I wish it came in other sizes to fit my raised beds better. I made the hoops a bit smaller by squeezing them to a tighter shape. That made two of these fit side by side in one raised bed. But a wider version would be great. A nice bonus; you don't have to water as often, as the plastic minimizes evaporation.

Easy for this old gardener to instal! Thank you!

Pretty expensive so I almost gave 4 stars but I’m Old and tired. These sure beat row cloth. Happy to have something that cuts down on the work when protecting my veggies. Set up was a breeze and took seconds. I like that plants have adequate height & room to grow without touching the fabric. I also like the simple way to vent the tunnel. There are more affordable tunnels out there. I might try them, but I wonder if they would be as easy to use and well made as these? I’d like to have half a dozen more!
