Bootstrap Farmer All-Metal Butterfly Door Caterpillar Tunnel Kit

The Bootstrap Farmer Caterpillar Tunnel with Butterfly Doors is a durable, easy-to-assemble tunnel kit designed to protect crops while simplifying farm operations. Combining the simplicity of traditional CAT tunnels with the strength of a hoop house, this system withstands harsher weather without the extra expense or complexity of end walls, hip boards, or baseboards. Ideal for small- to medium-scale farms, the tunnel offers efficient crop protection, easy ventilation, and quick access for planting, harvesting, and equipment movement. Available in lengths from 20’ to 150’ and widths of 14’ or 20’, the center heights range from 9’4” to 11’4” depending on width, with doors extending past the tunnel ends for full closure when needed.

Built from high-quality US-sourced steel and galvanized components, the SH Caterpillar Tunnel combines durability, stability, and versatility. Its innovative butterfly doors, ridge pole reinforcements, and wind braces ensure structural integrity while streamlining access and ventilation. Farmers can also customize with optional trusses, shade cloth kits, or weed barriers, and the tunnel is scalable for future expansions. Clear, guided instructions and customer support are available, making it simple to assemble and maintain.
