Listers:
Have a look at "high tunnels" now manufactured by several berry growers
in England after developing them for their own crops - raspberries,
cherries, strawberries. They are marketed as Haygrove Tunnels. Sorry,
I am short of time or would try to pull up their website. Just Google
Haygrove.
Here in the Pacific Northwest I find similar structures sold by Wilson
Orchard Supply of Yakima, WA. They are put up and taken down depending
on the crop and the season. I have yet to talk with anyone who has
wind experience with them. After our 14 windstorms last fall-winter, I
am a bit reluctant to try them. They can be covered with plastic, net,
shade cloth. I want to talk with a structural-tensile engineer (B.C.
Dome, etc) consultant in my area first.
