When
you are looking for a tunnel house it is important to make sure
it is well constructed and that the plastic film is held securely
if you want it to last. We looked at a lot of tunnel houses
before deciding on these ones and these are the reasons why:
-
Our Domestic Tunnel Houses are made of a
corrosion-resistant aluminium frame spaced at 1 metre intervals
to give extra cover support. Picture to the right shows
a 3m tunnel house with the optional screen door.
-
Special thermal insulating tape is applied
to the frame where it meets the cover to prevent the plastic
being cooked at these points. These refinements add a small
amount to the cost, but we think it is worth it, as it results
in a longer cover life and ultimately a big saving to the
owner.
-
Equally important is how it is constructed.
The aluminium hoops fit into predrilled holes in the wooden
base. The base is held to the ground with wooden pegs that
are hammered into solid ground. The pegs are then are nailed
to the base. The cover is held by a rebate and wooden lock
strip nailed to the base. (Please note: While our tunnel
houses are very strong this does not mean you can put your
tunnel house up in an exposed situation and expect it to
survive gale force winds. They are designed as a domestic
tunnel house. Common sense needs to be exercised and adequate
shelter provided)
- Our tunnel houses are supplied direct to your door in boxed
kitset form. The complete kitset includes a treated wooden
base, wooden pegs, fastenings (nails screws etc), aluminum
frame, one entry door (can be assembled to open left or right),
vents as per the table below, frame tape and a machine welded
Agphane Extreme plastic cover.
All you will need are some simple tools. Hammer, Screwdriver,
Tape Measure, Sharp Knife or Scissors, Heavy Hammer or Mallet,
Petroleum Jelly or Grease for the top door track slides.
- Warranty
The aluminium frame and wooden base is guaranteed to be free
from defects and manufacturing faults for a period of one
year.
The Agphane Extreme cover is guaranteed in N.Z. for 5 years
against breakdown by U.V. degradation. If U.V. breakdown
occurs, and is confirmed by the manufacture's sample analysis,
a pro rata replacement credit will be allowed. A credit
will be issued, based on original invoiced value, for the
unused period of the Warranty. Warranty is to the original
purchaser of the tunnel house.
The tunnel house is a domestic tunnel house and is not
designed for extreme weather conditions. Permeable wind
breaks are recommended in exposed situations. The guarantee
on the frame and cover does not cover mechanical damage,
including premature damage caused by chemical use, high
winds, weather conditions or extremes of temperature.
Where breakdown has occurred on frames or pipes, warranty
is conditional upon frame tape being used to protect the
film from heat build up on the frame.

Replacement covers
Please make sure you have one of our frames before ordering
a cover, they will not fit other brands. You can easily tell
if it is one of our tunnel houses because as far as we know
we are the only ones who use lagging tape on the frames and
our frame hoop spacing is 1 metre. Also compare the detailed
pictures on this web page. We can not refund your money if you
choose the wrong cover.
