Advantages of FERTRI greenhouses: Better structures and key features
Growing outdoor plants in a vegetable garden or garden has a special charm... but it also presents a constant challenge: sudden changes in temperature, wind, heavy rain, hail, occasional frosts, excess humidity and seasonal pests. At FERTRI, we design garden greenhouses that are designed to protect your crops and extend the growing season, with sturdy structures, practical solutions and measures that truly adapt to each project.
In this article, we will tell you about the advantages of FERTRI greenhouses and the key features of three particularly popular models: tunnel greenhouse, straight walls tunnel, and minitunnel.

Why is the quality of garden greenhouses important?
It is possible to achieve more stable and healthy growth in outdoor plants by using a greenhouse, and in many cases it is recommended because it allows you to better control conditions without being so dependent on the weather.
With a greenhouse, you can balance temperature and humidity, reduce wind stress, protect against cold or excessive rain, and maintain a more favourable environment even when the season changes. At FERTRI, we have several models that are ideal for vegetable gardens and gardens, such as the tunnel greenhouse, the straight walls tunnel, and the minitunnel greenhouse, which help you get more yield and continuity from your crops.
With these structures, you can achieve:
- A more stable environment for sowing and transplanting.
- Less damage from wind and temperature changes.
- Protection against heavy rain and extreme weather conditions.
- Better organisation of the growing space (and convenient access for working).
- Less stress for the plant and, consequently, better development.
Advantages of FERTRI greenhouses
At FERTRI, we manufacture solutions designed to last, facilitate daily work and adapt to the terrain. These are some of the advantages most valued by our customers.
More resistant and stable structures
Our structure is manufactured with Sendzimir Z-275 galvanised steel and round section tubes with a diameter of 32 or 60 mm (depending on the model), providing a robust base to better withstand demanding conditions, such as wind or crop load.
Cover that lasts longer and performs better
One of the details that makes a difference is that we use polyester thread on the roof to prevent water pockets from forming when it rains. This helps to:
- Reduce tension and movement of the plastic in the wind.
- Avoid water accumulation that could deform the roof.
- Extending the useful life of plastic.
800-gauge three-layer plastic
The cover is a critical point in any garden greenhouse. That is why we install 800-gauge three-layer plastic, a high-quality solution to improve protection and maintain more stable conditions.
Measures tailored to the project
We have a wide range of widths and lengths so that the greenhouse can be adapted to your space and growing objectives. Whether it's a home vegetable garden, a productive garden or a larger planting area, the idea is that you choose the size that suits you best.
Convenient access and practical ventilation
Day-to-day tasks matter: entering, exiting, working comfortably, moving tools... Our greenhouses feature hinged pedestrian doors and/or elevating front door (depending on the model), which make it easier to:
- Introduction of large machinery when required by the project.
- More effective and faster ventilation (especially with a lift-up front).
FERTRI straight walles tunnel greenhouse: maximum use of land
The FERTRI straight walles tunnel is a model that stands out for its balance between size, accessibility and space utilisation.
Available sizes
This model is available in:
- 4 m or 6 m wide
- Lengths from 6 m to 16 m
It is a very interesting option when you need a compact structure.
The design of straight walls allows you to make better use of the interior volume, which is particularly noticeable in:
- More comfortable corridors.
- Better use of sides for terraces or crop rows.
- A feeling of greater spaciousness in everyday work.
Elevating front door: free access and effective ventilation
It incorporates a elevating front door, which allows for 4 m or 6 m of free access at both ends, facilitating:
- Easy loading and unloading of materials.
- Rapid ventilation to control heat and humidity.
Resistance and plastic coating
As part of the general advantages of FERTRI, this model is designed to offer high resistance, with a plastic coating suitable for protecting crops and maintaining a more controlled environment.
FERTRI minitunnel greenhouse: the ideal choice for beginners
For those seeking a compact, economical and very easy-to-assemble solution, the FERTRI minitunnel greenhouse is the perfect entry point into protected cultivation in the garden.
Perfect for home gardens and small plots
Due to its size, it is ideal for:
- Home gardens.
- Gardens with limited space.
- Introductory projects in cultivation.
Economical, simple and maintenance-free
It is the most economical and straightforward option, and it also requires no maintenance. It is designed to withstand regular use and inclement weather within its category.
Very easy installation with secure anchoring
Its most notable advantage is its ease of assembly: it is anchored using bolts and clamps fastened with screws, creating a stable structure without complications.
FERTRI tunnel greenhouse: versatility and strength
The tunnel greenhouse is one of our most complete structures for one very simple reason: it is designed to adapt to different terrains, climates and cultivation needs without complicating assembly or driving up costs.
It is an ideal option both for those who want to protect outdoor plants in the garden and for more productive projects that require a reliable, durable, and expandable greenhouse.
Suitable for all types of terrain and crops
The tunnel design allows you to work with a wide variety of crops: from seasonal outdoor crops to seedbeds, transplants or longer crop lines. By creating a more controlled environment, the tunnel helps to:
- Reduce stress caused by sudden changes in temperature.
- Protect against wind, heavy rain or occasional frost.
- Maintain a more stable humidity level (and manageable with ventilation).
In practice, this translates into greater crop continuity and better protection during periods when outdoor conditions are less predictable.
Sturdy structure: designed for wind and crop load
One of the strengths of this model is its structural robustness. Thanks to its design, the tunnel offers very solid performance in windy conditions and withstands crop load well, making it particularly interesting in exposed areas or when working with crops that "load" the structure (e.g. trained or hanging crops).
Simple assembly with bolts and clamps
The tunnel assembly is designed to be quick and safe. The structure is assembled with high-strength bolts and clamps, which facilitates:
- Faster and tidier assembly.
- Strong joints throughout the structure.
- Fewer complications in future expansions or adjustments.
This is key when you want to install a greenhouse without complex construction work and with a reliable assembly system.
Polyester thread on the ceiling
At FERTRI, we use polyester thread instead of wire on the ceiling. What does this achieve?
- Avoid unnecessary strain on the plastic.
- Reduce the movement of the cover with air.
- Reduce the risk of deformation or premature wear.
The result is clear: the service life of the tyre is extended, which has a direct impact on maintenance and medium-term costs.
Measures tailored to your needs: available widths and configurable length
Another distinguishing feature of the tunnel is that you can adapt it to the actual space of the project. In this model, you can choose between several widths:
- 5,10 m
- 6,80 m
- 8,50 m
- 10 m
What's more, you can make it as long as you need, allowing you to adjust the greenhouse to your plot, your crop planning or future expansions.
Economical and long-lasting: an investment that pays for itself
The tunnel is a structure that stands out for its balance: it offers comprehensive features while remaining an economical option among greenhouse solutions. Combining strength, ease of assembly and a cover designed to last, it is a model that pays for itself through:
- Less wear and tear on the structure.
- Improved durability of the cover.
- Better protection for crops (fewer losses due to weather conditions).
Many ventilation options to control the microclimate
Ventilation is one of the factors that most influences the performance of a garden greenhouse: controlling heat, humidity, and condensation is key. The Tunnel model allows for various ventilation options, so you can adjust the greenhouse to your climate and type of crop.
Which FERTRI model should you choose based on your goal?
FERTRI's garden greenhouses are perfect for optimising cultivation in raised beds. Models such as the tunnel greenhouse, the straight walls tunnel greenhouse, and the minitunnel greenhouse offer protection, climate control, and adequate space to comfortably organise raised beds.
With these structures, you can maintain the temperature, humidity, and protection of your plants all year round, avoiding the impact of variable weather. We invite you to review each model so you can choose the one that best suits your project. And if you have any other questions, you can contact us and we will advise you.
