Product Information

Full details

This guide is for gardeners seeking a natural, chemical-free method to protect larger plants or double rows of smaller plants from a wide range of garden pests. The key benefit is its effective physical barrier against insects while allowing air and moisture circulation for healthy plant growth. A potential caveat is its size, which may be too large for very small garden spaces. The Haxnicks Giant Easy Micromesh Tunnel is a spacious, durable solution for crop protection, featuring a 0.6mm mesh to exclude pests, a flexible design for easy setup, and drawstring ends for ventilation control.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What specific pests does the 0.6mm mesh keep out?

The 0.6mm x 0.6mm mesh is effective against a range of small pests including white fly, onion fly, cabbage root fly, carrot fly, flea beetle, vine weevil, and aphids.

Can I water my plants directly through the mesh?

Yes, the fine mesh is designed to allow water to pass through, so you can water your plants directly without needing to remove the tunnel.

What are the exact dimensions of the tunnel?

The tunnel measures 45cm in height, 60cm in width, and 300cm (3 meters) in length.

Is this tunnel suitable for very small seedlings?

While it protects seedlings, its 'giant' size is best suited for covering multiple small plants in a row or larger individual plants. For very delicate, single seedlings, a smaller cover might be more appropriate.

What material is the tunnel made from?

The tunnel is constructed from UV-stabilised, ultra-fine polythene mesh and supported by rust-resistant galvanised steel hoops.

How easy is it to store when not in use?

The tunnel features an accordion-style design that allows it to be easily collapsed and stored compactly when not in use.

Does the mesh provide any protection from frost?

Yes, the mesh offers some protection against light frost and wind, and helps conserve moisture.

Troubleshooting

Tunnel is not staying securely in the ground.

Ensure the galvanised steel hoops are pushed deep enough into the soil. For very loose soil, consider using additional ground pegs or weights around the base.

Pests are still getting through the mesh.

Verify that the mesh is intact with no tears or holes. Ensure the drawstring ends are fully closed and sealed around the base of the plants or bed.

Mesh appears clogged or airflow is reduced.

Gently brush or wipe the mesh with a damp cloth to clear away dirt, pollen, or small debris that may be obstructing airflow and water penetration.

Tunnel structure feels unstable in wind.

Ensure hoops are securely anchored. For windy locations, consider adding extra anchoring points or securing the base with stones or soil.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unfold the tunnel and extend it to the desired length.
  2. Push the integrated galvanised steel hoops firmly into the ground or the soil of a raised bed to secure the structure.
  3. Adjust the drawstring ends as needed for access or ventilation.

Care:
