FAQs

How wide should garden netting hoops be spaced apart?

For optimal stability and tunnel formation, hoops are best spaced between 75cm and 1 meter apart.

What is the minimum fabric width needed for garden netting hoops?

A minimum fabric width of 1.8 meters is required to effectively cover the hoops when creating a tunnel or cloche.

Can flexible garden cloche hoops be used in winter?

Yes, they can be covered with fleece or polythene to protect crops from frost and cold weather.

Do hoops for garden netting come with anchors?

Yes, each set of hoops includes anchors to secure them firmly into the soil.

How tall are hoops for garden netting when set up?

At their maximum width of 1.2 meters, the hoops stand around 60cm tall. Narrower spacing increases the height slightly.

What covers can be used with flexible garden cloche hoops?

You can use fleece, Veggiemesh, thermacrop, polythene, bird netting, or butterfly netting, depending on the season and desired protection.

Are clips and netting included with the hoops?

No, the hoops come complete with anchors. Hoop clips and netting are sold separately.

Troubleshooting

Hoops are unstable in the ground.

Ensure anchors are pushed as deep as possible into the soil. If the soil is loose, consider using additional stakes or wider anchors for greater stability.

Covering material is too short or narrow.

Ensure you are using a fabric width of at least 1.8 meters. For length, add the desired cloche length plus approximately 1.2 meters to account for the arch height.

Hoops do not maintain desired shape.

Check that the hoops are properly seated in the anchors and that the width is not excessively stretched beyond the 1.2-meter maximum, which could stress the PVC.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly adaptable for different seasons and crop protection needs.
  • Adjustable width allows for customization to garden space and plant height.
  • Includes anchors for easy and secure installation.
  • Durable PVC construction ensures longevity.
  • Promotes year-round gardening and crop yields.

Cons

  • Netting, fleece, clips, and other coverings are sold separately.
  • Requires an additional fabric width of at least 1.8 meters for effective coverage.
  • Maximum height is around 60cm, which may not be sufficient for very tall plants without additional support.
  • Anchors might be less effective in very loose or sandy soil conditions without extra reinforcement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Insert the included anchors firmly into the soil at your desired spacing (75cm to 1 meter apart). Bend each 1.8-meter PVC rod into an arch and push the ends into the soil anchors. Adjust the width to your needs, up to 1.2 meters. Drape your chosen covering material (fleece, netting, polythene, etc.) over the hoops, ensuring it is wide enough (minimum 1.8 meters) and long enough to cover the structure with some overlap. Secure the edges of the covering material to the ground using soil, pegs, or weights.

Compatibility: These hoops are compatible with a wide range of coverings including fleece, Veggiemesh, bird netting, butterfly netting, thermacrop, and polythene. Hoop clips (sold separately) can be useful for attaching coverings more securely.

Care: After use, clean the hoops with a damp cloth if necessary. Store them in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prolong their lifespan. Check anchors for any damage before re-use.
