I. Introduction to Tunnel Film Greenhouse
The tunnel film greenhouse, structurally speaking, is a simple single-span greenhouse structure. It is composed of curved metal or plastic hoops (arches) as the main frame, with plastic film covering the exterior. This unique long tunnel-shaped design has significant advantages. On the one hand, it maximizes the internal planting space, allowing growers to arrange crop planting layouts more rationally and improve space utilization. On the other hand, it minimizes the use of structural materials, effectively reducing manufacturing costs while ensuring structural stability. Please provide the text you want to be translated.
In terms of application, the tunnel film greenhouses produced by Chinese manufacturers are mainly used for the cultivation of high-value horticultural crops such as vegetables, berries and flowers, playing a significant role in extending the growing season and providing protective cultivation. Compared with traditional open-field farming, its advantages are quite obvious. Firstly, with the environmental control capabilities of tunnel film greenhouses, crops can be planted earlier, breaking the seasonal restrictions on planting time. Secondly, the stable environment inside the greenhouse can promote faster growth of crops, shorten the growth cycle, and enable crops to mature and be marketed earlier. Moreover, the greenhouse can provide effective protection against wind and rain for crops, avoiding damage from severe weather such as heavy rain and strong winds. Finally, the greenhouse environment can also reduce pest pressure and minimize pest damage to crops, thereby increasing crop yield and quality. Please provide the text you want to be translated.
However, it should be noted that although the tunnel film greenhouse excels in practicality and cost-effectiveness, it lacks some of the complexities of multi-span glass greenhouses. Nevertheless, it still offers growers a convenient and affordable option for controlled environment agriculture. Its types are rich and diverse, ranging from basic temporary structures to meet short-term planting needs to semi-permanent installations equipped with automation functions, suitable for long-term and large-scale planting scenarios, providing more possibilities for growers with different demands.

II. Rich Structural Options
To meet the diverse planting needs of different growers in various scenarios, Chinese tunnel film greenhouse manufacturers offer a wide range of tunnel film greenhouses with different frame materials and sizes, as detailed below:
In terms of frame materials, there are three main options: galvanized steel, aluminum, and plastic hoops. Galvanized steel frames are highly durable and corrosion-resistant, capable of long-term use in various complex environments without being easily damaged by external factors. Aluminum frames are lighter in weight, making them easier to transport and install, and they also have good corrosion resistance, making them suitable for planting scenarios with certain weight requirements. Plastic hoop frames, on the other hand, offer a cost advantage and are simple to install, making them a good choice for growers with limited budgets or for temporary use.

In terms of structural types, there is also a wide variety. Multi-bay tunnels are one type, which effectively expand the growing capacity by setting two or more spans side by side, meeting the needs of large-scale planting by growers and increasing the crop yield per unit area. Series tunnels have stronger scalability and can theoretically be infinitely extended. Growers can gradually increase the length of the tunnel as their planting scale expands, flexibly adjusting the planting space. For semi-permanent installed tunnel film greenhouses, concrete or wooden base walls are also equipped. These base walls can further enhance the stability of the greenhouse, making it more solid and reliable during long-term use. In addition, in the design of end walls and ventilation openings, roller shutters, drop-down doors and hinge door systems are adopted. These door systems not only facilitate the entry and exit of personnel and the transportation of crops, but also effectively regulate the ventilation inside the greenhouse, creating a suitable air environment for crop growth.

III. Professional Covering Materials Selection
One of the major advantages of Chinese tunnel film greenhouse manufacturers lies in the wide range of professional greenhouse plastic covering materials available. Different covering materials have their own unique functions and applicable scenarios:
Polyethylene film is a relatively common type, with options such as single-layer, double-layer, and triple-layer. Growers can choose the appropriate number of layers of polyethylene film based on local climate conditions and the growth requirements of crops to balance the durability, light transmission, and insulation performance of the greenhouse. Single-layer polyethylene film has better light transmission and is suitable for areas with abundant sunlight but not high insulation requirements; double-layer and triple-layer polyethylene films have better insulation performance and can effectively reduce heat loss inside the greenhouse, making them suitable for cold regions or the cultivation of crops with high temperature control requirements.

Infrared heat preservation film is mainly suitable for cold regions. It has a special infrared blocking function, which can reduce the loss of heat inside the greenhouse through infrared radiation, thereby increasing the temperature inside the greenhouse and providing a more suitable temperature environment for crop growth, and thus improving crop yields.

The design of the diffuse reflection / anti-drip film is ingenious. It can disperse the light entering the greenhouse, allowing the light to shine more evenly on all parts of the crops, avoiding the damage caused by local strong light to the crops. At the same time, it can prevent the formation and dripping of condensation water inside the greenhouse, avoiding the occurrence of diseases caused by condensation water dripping on the crops, and creating the best environmental conditions for crop growth.

Anti-fog film mainly addresses the issue of fog inside greenhouses. It can effectively prevent the formation of liquid droplets that obstruct light transmission within the greenhouse, ensuring that sufficient light can enter and provide adequate energy for photosynthesis in crops, thereby promoting their growth and development.

Insect-proof netting is a covering that integrates a mesh screen. While providing ventilation for greenhouses, it can effectively prevent pests from entering the interior of the greenhouse, reduce pest damage to crops, lower the use of pesticides, and enhance the quality and safety of crops.

Sunshade cloth belongs to the external retractable screen. Growers can flexibly adjust the extension degree of the sunshade cloth according to the light level and temperature inside the greenhouse to control the amount of light entering the greenhouse and lower the internal temperature, thus avoiding adverse effects of strong light and high temperature on crops.

Hard polycarbonate panels have excellent durability and wind resistance. When used in strong wind areas, they can provide additional protection for greenhouses, effectively resisting the damage of strong winds to the greenhouse structure and ensuring the stability and safety of the greenhouse.

Tunnel film greenhouses have been widely applied in protective vegetable cultivation. Small and medium-sized vegetable growers are the main user group. By using tunnel film greenhouses, they have significantly increased the yield, quality and profit margin of vegetables. Common crops such as tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, lettuce and herbs can thrive in this protected environment. Specifically, the benefits are reflected in multiple aspects: first, it enables early production, allowing vegetables to be brought to market earlier and seizing the market opportunity to achieve higher economic benefits; second, it provides reliable weather protection, avoiding the impact of adverse weather on vegetable growth and ensuring a stable supply of vegetables; third, it reduces pest pressure, minimizing pest damage to vegetables and improving their quality. In addition, tunnel film greenhouses also provide convenience for urban farmers and market gardeners, enabling them to grow fresh vegetables in urban and surrounding areas and supply them to local markets, meeting the local residents' demand for fresh agricultural products.
