This paper is an informative but brief article on the terminology associated with two different types of protected agriculture: row cover and high tunnels. It details several methods for using rowcover as well as how to construct and layout high tunnels. Currently, the article is almost 30 years old and the photos are black and white making it difficult to discern the technique represented by the photo. The author defines rowcover, spun bonded, floating, narrow cover, wide cover, hoops, and mil. For high tunnels, the author defines hipboard and batten boards. There are some basic installation and management descriptions for high tunnels and specifications on using rowcover for frost protection but overall, it provides a cursory overview and simplification of high tunnel installation.
