Greentek are a leading manufacturer of Greenhouse Tunnels in Gauteng. Our continued focus on providing affordable, quality, and durable growing tunnels makes us the go to company in South Africa for agricultural and commercial use. Whether you’re growing plants, fruits or vegetables, our grow houses are designed to help control the optimal environment, so you get the best yields.

Using Vitavia galvanised tunnel structures provides our greenhouse tunnels with a strong sturdy and weatherproof footing which is guaranteed to last longer and cost less in maintenance. We worked hard to develop a range of greenhouses that meet and exceed the demands of our clients.

Why buy from Greentek Tunnels Gauteng?

Our Domestic Greenhouse tunnels are made of a corrosion-resistant, Vitavia aluminium frame. In order to provide extra support for the greenhouse plastic, our frames are spaced at 1 metre intervals.
We use a special thermal insulating tape to provide extra protection to the greenhouse plastic and to stop it becoming cooked where the frame meets the plastic cover. Although this adds slightly to the overall cost of the tunnel, the cost savings in maintenance are far more beneficial to the owner in the long run.
Our Greenhouse Tunnels are manufactured on demand and supplied direct to your door, complete and ready for installation. Greentek tunnels can provide a full greenhouse installation service in Gauteng on request. Contact us for more information.
All our growing tunnels Gauteng can be easily adapted to suit any season and provide much needed sunshade and protection from rain, frost, pests, and wildlife.

Greenhouse FAQ's

What is horticultural glass?

Horticultural Glass is made by the rolled glass process and is the cheapest form or glass. A continuous stream of molten glass is forced between water-cooled rollers to get the correct thickness. Horticultural glass often has optical imperfections and sometimes depending on the source, is not as clear as window glass (sometimes a bit green).

What is best for greenhouse frames, aluminium or steel?

The only reason manufacturers use steel for frames in domestic greenhouses is price. These greenhouses are often made from electroplated galvanised sheet steel that has been cut and folded or rolled to shape. The protection layer is very thin, and the cut edges of course are not galvanised, so though the frames will last quite a long time, eventually they will rust. The sheet steel is also quite thin, so where it has been cut there is often a very sharp edge.

The only disadvantage with aluminium is cost. It is a more expensive metal and dies have to be made in order to extrude the product to shape. The frames are much thicker and in most cases have rounded edges from the extrusion process. Aluminium has a thin protective oxide layer on the outside that forms immediately the moment the aluminium is exposed to air. Any damage is instantly sealed off with an oxide layer. Aluminium never rusts and provided compatible materials are used with it, there is virtually no corrosion.
Aluminium will last a lifetime, and with the rising cost of raw materials it is false economy to purchase a greenhouse with a steel frame that you will eventually have to replace. We have a 10 year limited warranty on the frame. It is quite conceivable that a steel-framed greenhouse will have started rusting before our guarantee has run out.

Why use a Greenhouse?

You might think this is a simple question… but there is more to a greenhouse than you think. There are three main reasons for using a greenhouse. Protection – greenhouses offer warmth and insulation protecting your precious plants from the harsh elements such as frost, snow, wind and hail. Wider crop variety – growing in a controlled environment such as a greenhouse means you can effectively cultivate a much wider variety of plants than you would normally be able to grow outside.
Extended growing season – because of the warmth and protection you can start growing produce much earlier and (depending on your circumstances) grow right through winter compared to outside thus extending your growing season into the cooler months. A greenhouse also looks great, adds value to your home and offers a warm place for you to potter about on a rainy day.

The Greentek Guarantee

Every greenhouse supplied by Greentek comes with a 10-year guarantee on the aluminium frame against faulty workmanship, much more than you will receive from most other manufacturers.

The polycarbonate is guaranteed throughout Gauteng and South Africa for 7 years against breakdown (going brittle) by U.V degradation. If U.V breakdown occurs, and is confirmed by the manufacture’s sample analysis, a pro rata replacement credit will be allowed. A credit will be issued, based on original invoiced value, for the unused period of the warranty.

Warranty is to the original purchaser of the greenhouse tunnel. The polycarbonate must be installed with the UV coated side to the outside (facing the sun) otherwise the warranty is void.
