Greenhouse Tunnel Fabrication: The setup of Greenhouse Tunnels from us is environmentally friendly and cost effective for the entrepreneur/farmer on a small or large scale. Our Standard tunnel (30mX10m) can accommodate on average 2000 plants subject to plant spacing. Tunnels can also be manufactured to client specification. Shade net Structures built with gum poles are the alternative to open land farming, protecting crops from insects, hail and birds. In winter it’s warmer and in summer cooler due to the net covering. It is affordable and can cover large areas. We have the expertise and knowledge to advise our clients on Greenhouse and Shade net tunnels, all accessories required for tunnel farming infrastructure. General Fabrication: Our general fabrication project supports the Tunnel Fabrication in a sustainable way. Any steel work from building trailers, gas cages, palisade fencing, car ports or custom steelwork built to your specification painted and sprayed. In addition we service and maintain tractor and farm implements and general vehicle maintenance. Training: Our AgriSETA Accredited Training Centre with extension of scope with the various SETA’s, is established on the premises and is geared to train all beneficiaries that apply for admission to our Centre’s, and enable them to qualify for mainstream employment or establish self-sustainable agricultural enterprises.
