Classic Caterpillar Tunnel

This was my second order with farmers friend and I legitimately did not think they could outdo themselves from the first time.
Ordering is a breeze, they are standing by to answer any questions or concerns you may have and they are seriously the friendliest group of people I’ve encountered through a business. The greenhouse kits are great, they sent an extra of every single piece, just in case something was missed and if you do happen to need help or are missing a part they will have it to you priority. 10/10 and I will absolutely be going through them a third time when I need more gear.

After researching greenhouse’s for about 2 years I decided to go with Farmers Friend and I can definitely say it was a great choice. I just finished assembling my 16’ X 25’ Caterpillar Classic Pro with additional drip irrigation package and the whole process went very smoothly.
I wholeheartedly recommend you check these folks out, you won’t be disappointed.

I purchased my first tunnel about a year ago and we put it up and I absolutely love it. The tunnel is so great even in high winds that we decided to purchase the second one. We noticed some improvements in the parts and pieces of the second one that make it even easier to install. I'm looking forward to this growing season and all of the abundance I'm going to get because of these tunnels.

I am figuring it out. Love the videos you have done to help with this process

I’m using mine for propagation, and I can already see improvement in the quality of my seedlings. Very straightforward to assemble between the manual and videos. I was able to do all of it myself except for the plastic. Great product!

It went up fairly easily. But I had to request more wiggle wire and channel, since what was provided was not enough. To other buyers especially those with NCRS grants, make sure you get enough wiggle wire and channel, you’ll need to order extra. To Farmers Friend, please consider adding more wire and channel, enough to completely cover the ends from one side to the other.

While I greatly appreciate the quality of the tunnel. The first missing part was the white house for the irrigation system. Since the tunnel was delivered during an ice storm it took us sometime to get to putting it together. Customer service was great. Received the piping. All other parts were in bags and I honestly just didn't think to count each piece. BUT upon actually putting the system together discovered that the hose adapter piece was also missing from the kit. We live in a very rural area , outside of 1 hardware store it's a 40 min drive back to the city. Only adapter I could get local was brass and it cost me time and another $35,xx. We are a small family production farm , new to this property we have a lot of work. Having small errors like missing parts sets us back and really affects our operation. I am a content creator on TikTok I bought this on my own accord and while I want to be transparent about the struggles of farming. I want to show my followers companies and products worth their while. I do not want to bash companies but I need to be honest about the experience I've had. I left a second message with farmers friends about missing parts and have yet to receive a call back. It's very frustrating to want to boost a company and to also be disappointed in the execution of it's arrival. Small farms just don't have the time and extra money to be taking extra trips to the store for parts they already paid for or waiting for them to be shipped out days later. Again I do overall like the tunnel , it's sturdy and easy to assemble! There is a lot going for this product!

Wife and I are first time farmers. We researched countless companies and finally settled on FF. We purchased 2- 100 x 16 foot classic pro tunnels using the NRCS program through the USDA. Purchasing and shipping were extremely fast, even with supply chain nonsense. Once we inventoried the kits, I found we were short 2 of the lift kit legs and had an extra bow. I called and got an immediate answer. The 2 legs were shipped out; arriving 48 hrs later.
We were able to complete our build in no time. I was able to build one kit by myself entirely in 2 days, even being a disabled vet. My wife helped with the second one, so we blew through it in half a day.

Pros: Packaging is excellent, Instructions are stupid proof, Plenty of info provided, videos are available if you get stuck, common sense construction, DIY Door Kits are fantastic, strong construction, all the parts do what they are supposed to. Great customer service so far.

Cons: Tek Screws on one kit sucked. I kept burning the self-tapping portion off of them.

Update: **We have had several TERRIBLE storms here in South East Louisiana. All have had tornadoes, high winds, hail, or frigid temps with ice. So far these high tunnels have held up with no issue. (thank God.) Will definitely buy again.

I run a nonprofit and we have a couple of urban farms in the windy, hot, cold, and rough weather of the Texas panhandle. We’ve been ordering these tunnels (50’ & 100’) as we’ve expanded over the past 5 years. They have held up incredible well and we have been more than satisfied with the quality, ease, and durability. They give us a year round growing season and have increased our yield significantly. They keep improving the system without making it more complicated to put up. It’s an easy 2 person job. Shipping is quick and we are big fans of this company!

The Cat pill. Is great and super awesome material but we were upset with the lack of clarity there was when we ordered the tunnel. We added the lift kit because it wasnt very clear to us if this came with it or not. We also got wiggle wire we did not want and we were not aware it came with it. We review the materials before purchasing and did not notice any of this items being included. All we wanted was to get the simplest for of this tunnel. Im aware this could have been an issue at our end not understanding what was included and thats why im giving it 4 stars bc its a great tunnel kit but we struggled with the clarity of what came along with it.
