You can build high tunnels from kits or from a DIY approach. At USU, we have trialed and trialed again, to come up with a rugged, lower-cost option for the extreme conditions in Utah. The secrets are the PVC that has give during and reinforcements that stand up to bad weather, and the ability for the tunnel to switch from a heating structure in winter to a cooling structure by summer. About a decade ago, we published our design PLANS and now we’ve published an interactive COST CALCULATOR based on the size you want to build and the ever-increasing price of materials.
