FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the tunnel?

The tunnel measures 300cm in length, 45cm in width, and 30cm in height.

Can this tunnel be used year-round?

It is ideal for winter and early spring vegetables and for extending the growing season. While it offers protection, prolonged exposure to extreme winter conditions might be challenging without additional measures.

How do I adjust the length of the tunnel?

The one-piece accordion design allows you to simply extend or retract the tunnel to your desired length after unfolding.

What is the material of the hoops?

The hoops are made from rust-resistant galvanised steel.

How should I clean the tunnel?

Use a damp cloth to wipe down the polyethylene cover. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.

Can I use this on a patio or balcony?

Yes, if placed on a raised bed or if you use weights or containers to secure the base, as the hoops need to be anchored.

Will it protect against heavy frost?

It provides protection against light to moderate frost. For severe frosts, additional insulation or protection may be necessary.

Troubleshooting

Tunnel is unstable in wind

Ensure hoops are pushed securely into the ground. For very windy conditions, consider using garden stakes or weights to further anchor the base of the tunnel.

Condensation is excessive, leading to mold

Ventilate the tunnel during warmer parts of the day by slightly lifting one end or creating a small gap to allow for air circulation.

Hoops are difficult to insert into the ground

Lightly water the ground where you intend to place the hoops, or use a rubber mallet to gently tap them into firmer soil.

Polyethylene cover is torn

Small tears can sometimes be repaired with UV-resistant garden tape. For larger damage, consider replacing the cover if possible, or using it for less critical applications.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extends the growing season for a wider variety of crops.
  • Provides excellent protection against weather, pests, and diseases.
  • Durable materials ensure long-term use.
  • Simple to set up, move, and store.
  • Creates optimal humidity and warmth for plant growth.

Cons

  • Requires a relatively flat surface for secure installation.
  • Dimensions (45cm width, 30cm height) may limit the size of plants it can accommodate.
  • Effectiveness can be reduced in very high winds without additional anchoring.
  • Not suitable for very large garden areas or tall plants.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unfold the tunnel from its compact packaging. It will expand like an accordion.
  2. Position the tunnel over the desired area where crops are planted or will be sown.
  3. Push the galvanised steel hoops gently but firmly into the ground or the sides of a raised bed to secure the tunnel.
  4. Adjust the length of the tunnel as needed by extending or retracting it.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for use directly on garden soil, in raised beds, or alongside existing rows of plants.
  • Ideal for rows or small beds of vegetables, herbs, and flowers.
  • Dimensions: 300cm (Length) x 45cm (Width) x 30cm (Height).

Care:

  • Clean the polyethylene cover periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris, ensuring maximum light penetration.
  • Inspect the galvanised steel hoops for rust and ensure they remain secure. Mild rust on the hoops will not affect performance.
  • Store the tunnel flat and dry during the off-season to prolong its life.
