All-season growing
Year-Round Crop Protection
Caterpillar Tunnels are often viewed primarily as a season extension tool, but that’s really only half of the story. Covered growing space provides year-round protection for your plants from things like rain, pests, frost, heat (when using shade cloth), wind, and even from dirt being splashed onto your plants in heavy downpours.

New Tunnel Options!
Wider, Stronger Tunnels Now Available!
Max out your farm with the thickest gauge steel Caterpillar Tunnel on the market! We now offer a 16-ft wide tunnel (up from 14 ft) with 40% thicker, 14-gauge steel bows (up from 17 gauge).
With steel strength typically found only in commercial high tunnels, these 14-gauge tunnels are designed to give you greater peace of mind on stormy nights. Plus, being 2 feet wider, you’ll have plenty of room for 18-inch pathways to more easily transport harvest bins/totes, or if desired, shrink your pathways to 10 inches and fit five 30-inch growing beds.

Gothic Tunnels
The Perfect Tunnel for Northern Growers!
Introducing our new Gothic and Gothic Pro Tunnels!
Perfect for northern climates with frequent snowfall, the Gothic (pictured) will allow you to grow longer into the winter than a Classic Tunnel. This new tunnel also includes a solid purlin and wind bracing to add even more rigidity to your structure.
For extreme winter growing, upgrade to the Gothic Pro, which includes a Solid Purlin, Wind Bracing, Cross Bracing, and 16-inch Lift Kit for added strength and height.

Classic Tunnels
…And Southern Growers!
The Classic tunnel is our most cost-effective greenhouse. The Classic tunnels feature a rounded, quonset design that is wind resistant and is also our fastest greenhouse to build with just a 2 – 3 hour assembly time.
Our Classic Pro includes a 16-inch Lift Kit for added height, plus Wind Bracing and a Solid Center Purlin for added strength and rigidity, as well as greater peace of mind.
Caterpillar Tunnel Options
Classic vs Gothic
The Classic tunnel (LEFT) is cost-effective and portable. It’s a great starter tunnel and is excellent for those who frequently move it around their farm. The Gothic tunnel (RIGHT) is an excellent choice for those living in northern climates where snow is a frequent threat.

Changing with the seasons.
