Greenhouse Technology
Vegetables are important for food security and poverty alleviation. Nevertheless, in South Africa food insecurity still exists. Greenhouse technology is already a very important way to produce vegetables in South Africa because of the production potential, the high quality of the produce and the efficient water usage. We manufacture high quality steel or galvanised steel greenhouse tunnels and supply all necessary equipment and inputs.
We also manufacture Tunnels for Fish Farming, Bird Aviaries, Storage Units, Ostrich Fledglings, Mushroom Farming, Plant Nurseries and more…
Single-Span Greenhouse Tunnels
Our single-span greenhouse tunnel is ideal for emerging and commercial farmers. More units can be integrated as your business grows.
Standard Tunnels are 10m x 30m in size, however, we do manufacture various size tunnels. In addition, standard or roll-up sides are available. A heating and/or cooling system is also optional.
Tunnels can be covered with Greenhouse Plastic, shade-net and poly-carbonate plastic. For more specialized units, covering is quoted to the customers’ specification or application.
Multi-Span Greenhouse Tunnels
Emerging Farmers’ multi-span tunnel is a variation of the single-span tunnel and can easily be customized.
Tunnel Sizes:
Dual-Bay: 20m x 30,4m (600m2)
Tri-Bay: 30m x 39,4m (900m2)
Quad-Bay: 40m x 30,4m (1200m2)
Five-Bay: 50m x 30,4m (1500m2)
Hobby Tunnels
In hot climates around the world, vegetables and cut flowers are grown under shade net to reduce heat and light intensity. With the help of science, innovative light manipulation and UV management results show that photo-selective colour nets create an environment that can be managed and turned into optimal growing conditions. This allows the farmer to produce crops, many times during off-season, that have better growth, development and a higher yield.
New Generation Emerging Farmers ‘VERTI-SOCK’ initiative adds a flare to vertical farming. This cleverly thought up shade net design allows for some interesting growing ideas to beautify water tank structures.
Mini Tunnels
Our Mini Tunnels are covered using 40% shade-net. They are open in front and covered on the sides and back. These offer great protection from the suns UV rays yet they are still well ventilated
The Deluxe-Mini Tunnel, similar in design to the normal Mini Tunnel, is also covered with 40% shade-net. The tunnel is completely covered with a door in front for easy access. It too comes in standard sizes, but can be customized according to your needs.
Standard Sizes:
(4m x 6m) – (4m x 9m) – (4m x 12m)
