Hightunnel End Wall Frame

The work on the hightunnel has begun again. We've learned a lot from others in the county who have had theirs up for a couple of years or more. We have noted those things they wish that they had done differently and definitely those things that have caused total catastrophes. This week has been installing wooden posts to support solid side walls. Without exception, everyone who has a hightunnel has said that the sides are the most problematic. We know of one guy who had a failure of the sidewall that caused a total collapse of the entire hightunnel including bending his frame. This is why we've chosen to go with solid frame sidewalls and adding plastic panels similar to metal panels that we are attaching to a wood frame.
