Don't Miss These 5 Tips: Mesotunnel Winter Storage

Winter's here! ❄️ Time for mesotunnels to come inside. If you procrastinated, don't worry, it's not too late! Check out our 5 tips to keep yours in top shape for next season:

1. Clean and fully dry the fabric before storing. Moisture trapped in mesh can lead to mildew.
2. Roll fabric instead of folding it. Rolling reduces stress in fabric and prevents creasing. Secure with bungee straps!
3. Store fabric in a cool, dry place. Use sealed tubs or shelves off the ground. Avoid direct sunlight.
4. Bundle and organize hoops. Group with zip ties and sort by size. This helps reduce bending damage.
5. Label everything clearly. Tag each roll with fabric type, dimensions, and the field or trial it came from. You'll save hours in spring!

3 Winterization Tips for Outdoor Farm Equipment

Winter weather finds weak points. Prep now!

1. Freezing temperatures stress engines. Be sure to check all your fluids before a freeze: coolant, antifreeze, engine oil + filter, and hydraulic fluids.

2. Joints and connection points get hit by freezes. Without grease, moisture sits in joints and couplers. Lack of grease = corrosion and siezed parts by spring.

3. Cold weather stiffens hoses and cracks aging rubber. If possible, remove them and store inside your shop or garage
