Great Service, great products!
First, like other Farmers Friend orders, this one arrived quickly, and complete (even a few extra nuts and bolts which is appreciated). Second, our tunnel is a little over 3 years old so our cross bars are the same as these wind braces. We upgraded our tunnel to have a cross bar on every hoop like the newer tunnels. Our tunnel survived hurricane Helene here in the eastern Tennessee mountains but extra bracing for future weather events seemed a wise choice.

Extra wind bracing
We have a 100’ gothic pro tunnel with the standard wind bracing on each end. It has survived hurricane Helene and more. We bought additional wind bracing for the middle spans of this tunnel to give us more peace of mind in the high winds we have been experiencing lately. It does not seam to be “racking” near as much now.
