From what I've read and watched, high tunnels ofer more advantages than just extending the growing season. In the summer, it's about controling the watering, protection, and more importantly in my opinion, controlling temp/sunlight so plants don't burn. Last year my tomatoes in full sun didn't do well, but late afternoon shade plants did great.

And even if I don't need it for sumer, I wanted to build one.
