 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

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.
