Full details

The Gardening Naturally Aluminium Garden Hoops are designed for home gardeners looking to shield their vegetables and fruits from pests, frost, and harsh weather.

FAQs

Can I use these hoops in raised beds?

Yes, provided the raised bed has sufficient soil depth to allow the hoops to be pushed in securely.

What is the height of the small hoop?

The small hoop measures 600mm high when properly erected.

How wide of a cover do I need?

You need a minimum of 2.1m wide netting or fleece to properly cover the small hoops.

Do I need any tools to set these up?

No, the hoops are designed to be pushed into the ground and secured with clips manually, requiring no tools.

Can I leave these out all year?

Yes, they are made from durable aluminium designed to withstand outdoor conditions throughout all seasons.

What is the recommended spacing?

It is recommended to place each hoop 1 metre apart for optimal support.

Troubleshooting

Cover sagging between hoops

Ensure the hoops are placed no more than 1 metre apart and verify that the netting or fleece is pulled tight before clipping.

Hoops leaning or unstable

Push the legs deeper into the soil. If the soil is too loose, try compacting the earth around the base of the hoop legs.

Clips are difficult to snap on

Ensure you are using the correct amount of fabric thickness; if the fabric is too thick, try positioning the clip slightly lower on the curve of the hoop.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Durable, weather-resistant aluminium material
Easy to install without any tools required
Adaptable for both frost protection and pest management
Compatible with other Gardening Naturally modular cage components
Secure clipping system keeps covers taut

Cons

Requires minimum 2.1m wide cover material

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward: push the two ends of the semi-circular hoop firmly into the ground until stable. Use the provided clips to sandwich your chosen netting or fleece against the aluminium tubing.

Compatibility: These hoops are designed for use with at least 2.1m wide fabric or netting. They are fully compatible with Gardening Naturally's wider range of cage fittings.
Maintenance: Periodically check that the clips are secure, especially after heavy wind events. Since the material is aluminium, the hoops are naturally resistant to rust; simply wipe them down with a damp cloth at the end of the season before storing them to keep them in peak condition.
