Product Information

Full details

The Gardening Naturally Aluminium Garden Hoops are designed for home gardeners and allotment enthusiasts looking to create durable, effective pest and frost protection tunnels for their crops. These semi-circular hoops offer a tool-free solution to secure netting or horticultural fleece, providing a robust shield against environmental threats throughout the growing season. While the hoops offer excellent versatility and weather resistance, users must ensure they procure the correct width of netting—at least 2.1m—to ensure full coverage over the erected structures.

FAQs

Can these hoops be left out in winter?

Yes, the aluminium construction is weather-resistant and designed for year-round outdoor use.

What is the height of the hoops once installed?

The hoops stand 600mm high when properly erected in the ground.

Do I need any tools to set these up?

No, the hoops are designed for manual, tool-free assembly.

What width of netting is required?

You need netting or fleece that is at least 2.1m wide to ensure complete coverage.

Are these suitable for raised beds?

Yes, they are compatible with both raised beds and open soil planting.

How many hoops should I use for a tunnel?

It is recommended to space them approximately 0.5m to 1m apart depending on the desired strength and length of the tunnel.

Troubleshooting

Hoops are unstable in the ground

Ensure the hoop ends are pushed deep enough into the soil; if the soil is loose, pack it firmly around the base or use a small wooden stake to anchor the hoop base.

Netting or fleece keeps sagging

Ensure you are using the provided clips at every hoop point and pull the netting taut from both ends of the tunnel before securing it to the ground with pegs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Resistant to rust and weather for long-term outdoor use
Easy to install and dismantle without specialized tools
Highly versatile for both raised beds and open soil
Includes essential clips for secure fabric tensioning

Cons

Requires specific netting width of at least 2.1m
Not intended for tall crops due to the 600mm height limit
Fixed semi-circular shape offers limited height adjustment

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your tunnel, simply press both ends of the aluminium hoop into the soil until the structure is stable. For raised beds, you may need to secure the hoop bases to the side walls if the soil is too loose to hold the pressure.

Compatibility: These hoops are compatible with most standard garden netting, insect mesh, and horticultural fleece. Always check that your fabric is at least 2.1m wide to accommodate the 1.15m hoop width and the depth required for burying the edges.
Care: Being aluminium, the hoops are naturally low maintenance. After a season of use, rinse them with water to remove soil buildup and store them in a dry shed if you choose to dismantle them for the winter. Ensure all provided clips are stored together to prevent loss between seasons.
