FAQs

What type of hoops are compatible with these covers?

These covers are compatible with both Gardening Naturally green garden hoops tunnels and black flexible hoops.

How do I secure the cover to the hoops?

You can secure the covers using clips, pegs, or ties. Ensure they are fastened firmly to keep the cover stable.

Can I use these covers for frost protection?

Yes, for frost protection, use the Fleece, Thermacrop, or Polythene cover options. This Green Soft Butterfly Netting is primarily for pest exclusion.

How do I clean the tunnel cover?

Gently brush off loose debris. For a deeper clean, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water, rinse, and air dry completely.

What is the length of this specific Green Soft Butterfly Netting cover?

This specific model is 3.6 meters in length.

Can I reuse my hoops with different covers?

Yes, the system is designed so you can easily swap covers on your existing hoops to change the level of protection as needed.

Do the covers allow air and moisture to pass through?

Netting and mesh options allow air and moisture to reach the plants while protecting against pests and birds. Fleece and polythene options are designed for warmth and moisture retention.

Troubleshooting

Cover is loose or blowing in the wind

Ensure the cover is pulled taut over the hoops and secure it firmly with additional clips, pegs, or ties along the base and at the hoop points.

Water pooling on top of the cover

Adjust the tension of the cover or ensure the hoops are spaced appropriately to create a slight dome shape, encouraging water runoff.

Insects still getting through the netting

Check for any gaps or tears in the netting and ensure the cover is properly sealed around the base of the hoops and the ground.

Cover seems to be retaining too much heat

Ensure adequate ventilation by opening the ends of the tunnel if possible, or consider switching to a more breathable mesh cover if prolonged high temperatures are expected.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up your tunnel cover, first ensure you have compatible garden hoops (green or black flexible hoops are recommended). Insert the hoops into the ground at your desired spacing, creating an arch. Drape the tunnel cover over the hoops, ensuring it is spread evenly. Secure the cover to the hoops using garden clips, pegs, or ties. For best results, ensure the cover is taut to prevent wind from lifting it.

Compatibility: These covers are designed to be compatible with both Gardening Naturally green garden hoops and black flexible hoops. They are also designed to fit various lengths, with this specific model being 3.6m.

Care: To maintain the longevity of your tunnel covers, clean them periodically. Gently brush off any loose soil or debris. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before storing. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material.
