What wind and snow loads are Tunnel Halls made for?
Depending on the dimensions, our Beam Tunnel Halls are suitable for up to wind load zone 4 and up to snow load zone 350 kg/m2 and more. We can provide you with verifiable statics on request.
How durable is the tarpaulin?
We grant a manufacturer’s guarantee of 10 years on the tarpaulin. Our long experience in textile hall construction shows us that the service life of our high-quality tarpaulins is 30 years, depending on the intended use.
How long does it take to build a Tunnel Hall?
With an area of 100 m², the construction of a Tunnel Hall takes about one day.
Is self-assembly possible?
Yes, in principle self-assembly is possible. Assembly instructions are supplied with every AGROTEL Tunnel Hall.
Do we get verifiable statics for a Tunnel Hall?
We can supply verifiable statics for Beam Tunnel Halls on request.
Do we need a building permit?
This depends on the location of the Tunnel Hall. There are different regulations depending on the country and federal state. We are happy to advise you on these topics and also support you with the planning application, if necessary.
How long is the delivery time?
Our delivery time for Tunnel Halls is normally between 4-10 weeks.
How is a Tunnel Hall anchored?
In principle, anchoring without concrete foundations is possible. The type of foundation depends on the location of the hall, the soil conditions and the static requirements.
Is it possible to roof an existing mobile silo?
Yes, our Tunnel Halls are perfectly suited as roofing for mobile silos. They can easily be fixed to existing side walls.
How do you ensure a good indoor climate?
In Tunnel Halls that are open on one side, natural ventilation is sufficient. For halls closed on both sides, there is the option of using textile nets in the gable area and gates and/or installing electrical or mechanical ventilation systems. This ensures optimal air quality inside the building.
I would like to roof a manure heap. Are Tunnel Halls suitable for this?
In some situations, the roofing of manure heaps is prescribed by law. In this case, Tunnel Halls are an uncomplicated, inexpensive and flexible solution. Our coverings can easily be mounted on concrete walls or concrete blocks.
