The frame is galvanised steel or aluminium profile, and the cover is waterproof, UV-resistant PVC or PE tarpaulin. We add insulation and ventilation details to match your production plan.
Who should grow mushrooms in a tent?
Businesses that want to test their capacity before putting up a reinforced concrete production building turn to this kind of structure. So do farms whose need for seasonal space is growing, and agricultural R&D or training projects. Because it is modular, the tent can be extended lengthways as production grows.
For a small trial area an aluminium frame can be enough. For commercial production and wider spans we use galvanised steel.
The climate is set not by the tent but by the system that works with it
In mushroom production temperature and humidity must be kept in balance. The tarpaulin alone does not provide this balance. The insulation layer, the ventilation openings and the humidifying, heating or fan equipment you use work together.
In a mushroom growing tent the tarpaulin is only the shell. It is built together with controlled climate, insulation and climate control equipment.
That is why, when we draw the project, we plan the position of the equipment, the cable and duct routes and the air inlet and outlet points from the start. In insulated structures, condensation on the inner surface is a separate matter. We explain the causes in our article on condensation in tents.
Size and material options
If you will use a shelving system, shelf height and aisle width directly decide the size of the tent.
| Scale | Frame | Cover |
|---|---|---|
| Hobby and small-scale production | Aluminium profile | 600 g/m² PVC |
| Medium-scale production | Galvanised steel | 700 g/m² PVC |
| Large production area | High-strength system | 750 g/m² PVC |

Questions we ask when preparing a quote
- Which mushroom species will you grow, and by which method (shelf, bag, block)?
- How many square metres of production area do you aim for?
- What are the climate and the ground at the installation site?
- Is your climate control equipment ready, or still being planned?
Send this information through our contact page, and we will set the size and the insulation option together and prepare a quote. The price is quoted per project.
