FAQs

What is the height of the hoops once installed?

The hoops provide a generous growing height of 87cm when inserted at the recommended 15cm depth.

Are the covers included?

No, this set includes the 8 aluminium hoops and 40 clips; netting, fleece, or polythene must be purchased separately.

Can these be used on raised beds?

Yes, they are suitable for both open soil and raised bed installations.

How much width do these cover?

The hoops are designed for a width of 110cm.

Are these rust-proof?

The hoops are made from 19mm aluminium, which is naturally resistant to rust, making them ideal for long-term outdoor use.

Can I make the hoops taller?

Yes, optional extensions are available to increase the height for exceptionally tall crops.

Troubleshooting

Hoops are leaning or unstable

Ensure you have achieved the 15cm insertion depth and consider using support bars to link the hoops together.

Cover is sagging between hoops

Space the hoops closer together or ensure the cover is stretched tightly and secured properly with the provided clips.

Clips are difficult to attach

Ensure you are using the correct amount of tension on the cover; if the fabric is too thick, double-fold it neatly before snapping the clip into place.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality 19mm aluminium is durable and rust-resistant
  • Generous height accommodates tall vegetable varieties
  • Includes a generous amount of clips (40) for secure cover attachment
  • Easy to install in both ground soil and raised beds
  • Lightweight enough for single-person setup

Cons

  • Requires separate purchase of support bars for extra stability in high wind
  • Insertion depth is strictly required at 15cm for structural integrity
  • Covers are not included with the hoop set

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your hoops, push the ends of each hoop 15cm into the soil or the side channels of your raised bed. If using raised beds, ensure the frame is secured to the boards. When applying your cover, start from one end and clip the fabric to the hoop before moving along the tunnel. Always pull the cover taut to prevent pooling water. Maintenance is minimal; simply rinse the aluminium frames with water after the growing season to remove soil debris. Store the clips in a dry container to avoid losing them during the winter months, and ensure the aluminium hoops are stored vertically or flat to prevent bending.
