New to tunneling production?
Consider the following options:

1) Primary Benefit
Assess the primary benefit you want to achieve e.g.
Do you want to extend your growing season by either creating a warmer/cooler growing environment? Do you purely require increased production during your main season?

2) Site
Plan the proposed site properly. Consider to orientation to the sun? How sheltered is the site and what is the predominant wind direction? What type of soil conditions do you have as this may affect the ease of installation? Is the proposed site on a slope or in a valley?

3) Climate
Consider minimum and maximum temperatures during the season. Any localized climatical conditions e.g. extreme wind. or snow occurrence.

4) Consult
Work with local authorities and consult with any parties that may affected by your project e.g. neighbours, water authorities etc. Consult with your agronomical advisers as to the considerations between traditional and protected growing.
