Feed your family with a Rimol Greenhouse! For homestead growers, a high tunnel greenhouse can increase the size of your harvest, lengthen the growing season and guard crops against harsh weather. With payoff possible in less than a year, a high tunnel is one of the best investments you can make on your homestead. Rimol Greenhouses offers high tunnel kits designed for homesteaders of all sizes.
Our greenhouses are known for their strength and durability, designed to stand up to any weather conditions in North America, including heavy wind, rain, and snow. Just ask our customers in Alaska! Our structures are easy to install, with clear instructions and dedicated customer support.
If you are a new homesteader just starting out, our 16’ wide Bobcat is a great, affordable option. If you are feeding a family or growing for market, the RGS High Tunnel is a customizable freestanding greenhouse available in multiple widths and lengths. If you want a completely “off-the-grid” super durable greenhouse for self-sufficient farming, our Homesteader High Tunnel will be your solution.
Did you know that as a homesteader, you may be eligible to participate in a cost-sharing program through the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to purchase a high tunnel? If you are pursuing funding for your homestead through the NRCS, Rimol offers a variety of high tunnels that have been specifically tailored to meet the qualifications for an NRCS contract. Check out our NRCS Resource Center for more information about how this funding can support the purchase of a new high tunnel for your homestead farm.

RGS High Tunnels come in larger sizes for growing more. For a fully off-grid, heavy-duty option, look at the Homesteader High Tunnel.
The Homesteader High Tunnel is Rimol’s super-durable greenhouse for self-sufficient, off-grid growing. It has a galvanized steel frame built for high snow and wind loads, a fire-resistant polycarbonate covering and taller 6-foot sidewalls. Two large double sliding doors make it easy to get equipment in and out. See the Homesteader High Tunnel.
Yes. Homesteaders and small farmers can apply for USDA NRCS cost-share through EQIP, and the program is open to growers of any size. You’ll need to be registered with the Farm Service Agency, grow crops directly in the soil and pay up front before you’re reimbursed. All Rimol high tunnel kits are NRCS-approved by design. Visit our NRCS Resource Center to learn how to apply.
It depends on your family size, your climate and how much you want to grow versus buy. Families planning to grow most of their own produce, or sell extra at market, often choose a 30' x 96' high tunnel. Talk to a Rimol expert about your goals and they’ll recommend a size.
Yes. Rimol greenhouses are built to handle heavy snow, wind and rain across North America, including Alaska. Cold-hardy crops like kale, spinach and carrots can grow all winter even in an unheated tunnel.
Yes. Most homesteaders put up their own Rimol greenhouse. Every kit comes with detailed instruction manuals with pictures and drawings. Our YouTube channel and How To’s walk you through key steps, and our greenhouse technicians are a phone call away if you get stuck.
Permit rules vary by town and state, so check with your local building department before you order. Some towns treat high tunnels as temporary agricultural structures, while others require a permit for any greenhouse. Rimol’s team can share the engineering information your town may ask for.
Pick a level, sunny spot with good drainage and soil you’ve tested. Rimol recommends no more than a 1.5–2% grade from one end of your structure to the other. Also think about access to water, electricity (if you need it) and room to expand. Read How to Choose a Site for Your High Tunnel.
Yes. A high tunnel with manual roll-up sides needs no power at all for ventilation, and the Homesteader High Tunnel is designed for off-grid living. If you want some automation without grid power, look at our solar options.
Yes. You can pick up your order at our warehouse in Hooksett, New Hampshire, about 50 miles north of Boston, and save on freight. A Bobcat fits in a box truck that’s at least 17 feet.
