The table below is not intended to be an exhaustive list, but rather a listing of plastics available to growers in the northeastern U.S. along with some sources to aid growers in locating plastics that they may wish to try. No endorsement of these plastics is intended, and the omission of any tunnel covering simply means that we may not be aware of its availability. Distributors and manufacturers of any high tunnel coverings not listed are encouraged to contact us to be added to our listing.
