Agricultural hoop tunnel, a self-bearing structure that can be anchored directly into the ground using stakes and plates. This means there is no need for concrete foundations, thereby reducing construction times and avoiding lengthy bureaucratic procedures (these depend on the local authority where the building is installed).
Originally designed as a tunnel to shelter hay and to store fodder and cereals as it allows for use of the entire surface area, its versatility means it can be used as an agricultural machinery shed, equipment storage shed or warehouse.
Due A uses a single, double or triple-stake system designed to provide a secure hold on the ground, which is essential for the structure’s stability.
The hoop tunnel is constructed from Sendzimir galvanized square tubing, the arched trusses are connected to each other with joints, C-channel purlins and X-braces, which increase load capacity at the points under the greatest stress.
All joint points are protected with heat-shrink sheathing that stops the fabric coming into contact with and rubbing against the framework.
The cover is made from galvanised and pre-painted steel sheet with phosphating treatment for increased rust protection. Painted with a primer layer and an acrylic paint film on the outer surface. Option of Tec28 insulated panel covering.
All Due A tensile structures are designed and can be calculated according to applicable Ministerial Decree 17/01/2018 regulations* on the basis of the precise installation site.
