FAQs

Can I water my plants while the tunnel is on?

Yes, the polypropylene fleece is breathable and permeable, allowing water, air, and sunlight to pass through. You can water your plants directly without removing the cover.

How do I join multiple tunnels together?

The design allows for tunnels to be placed end-to-end. For a secure connection, ensure the last hoop of one tunnel is positioned close to the first hoop of the next, and adjust the fleece overlap.

What is the material of the tunnel?

The tunnel is made from 60gsm non-woven polypropylene fleece and features a 2.8mm galvanised steel frame.

How do I adjust the ventilation?

Each end of the tunnel has drawstrings. Tighten them to seal the tunnel for maximum protection or loosen them to allow more air to circulate.

What are the dimensions of the tunnel?

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

Is this tunnel suitable for large plants?

The tunnel is 45cm high, making it best suited for seedlings, young plants, and smaller crops. It may not be suitable for taller or bushier plants.

What is the warranty period?

The product comes with a 1-year guarantee.

Troubleshooting

Tunnel is not stable in windy conditions.

Ensure the steel hoops are pushed deeply enough into the soil. For added stability, consider using garden pegs or weights on the base of the tunnel.

Plants appear too wet or waterlogged.

Loosen the drawstrings at the ends of the tunnel to increase ventilation and allow excess moisture to evaporate. Ensure the soil drains adequately.

Fleece material has tears.

Minor tears can sometimes be mended with garden repair tape. For significant damage, consider replacing the fleece cover.

Cons

  • Dimensions (L300 x W45 x H45cm) may be insufficient for very wide or tall plants.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unfold the fleece tunnel.
  2. Adjust the tunnel to the desired height.
  3. Push the galvanised steel hoops firmly into the soil around the plants you wish to protect.
  4. Adjust the drawstring ends for ventilation as needed.

Compatibility:

This tunnel is suitable for use on vegetable patches, in raised beds, and within allotments. It is designed to cover growing rows up to 3 meters long and 45cm wide and 45cm high. It can be joined with other identical tunnels to extend coverage.

Care:

After the growing season, clean the fleece tunnel by gently brushing off any loose soil or debris. Ensure the tunnel is completely dry before folding it down for compact storage to prevent mold or mildew. Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight.
