Warranty

The aluminium frame and wooden base is guaranteed to be free from defects and manufacturing faults for a period of one year.

The cover is guaranteed in N.Z. for four seasons (48 months) against breakdown by U.V. degradation. If U.V. breakdown occurs and is confirmed by the manufacturer'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 tunnel house.

Please note: Whilst our tunnel houses are very strong this does not mean you can put your tunnel house up in an exposed situation and expect it to survive gale force winds. They are designed as a domestic tunnel house. Common sense needs to be exercised and adequate shelter provided. Permeable wind breaks are recommended in exposed situations. The guarantee on the frame and cover does not cover mechanical damage, including premature damage caused by chemical use, high winds, weather conditions or extremes of temperature.

Where breakdown has occurred on frames or pipes, warranty is conditional upon frame tape being used to protect the film from heat build up on the frame.
