Full details

FAQs

What is included in the Flexible Black Hoop Garden Tunnel Kit?

Each kit includes black rods (900mm length), joiners, and typically clips if purchased with a netting or fleece cover. The specific contents can vary based on the kit purchased.

Can I use different types of covers with this kit?

Yes, the kit is designed to be compatible with various covers like polythene, fleece, insect netting (Veggiemesh), and bird netting, allowing you to adapt protection based on seasonal needs.

How tall is the assembled garden tunnel?

When erected at 1.2m (4ft) wide, the tunnel stands approximately 600mm (2ft) high. Narrowing the width to 75cm increases the height slightly.

What is the diameter of the hoop rods?

Each black hoop rod has a 10mm diameter, providing a balance of strength and flexibility.

Do I need any tools to assemble the kit?

No, assembly is designed to be tool-free. The rods and joiners connect by hand.

Are the covers included with every kit?

The clips are supplied only when a tunnel kit is purchased with a specific netting or fleece cover. Basic hoop kits may not include covers or clips.

Can I customize the size of the tunnel?

Yes, you can adjust the width and spacing of the hoops to create tunnels of different dimensions. You can also purchase components separately to build custom-sized structures.

Troubleshooting

Hoops seem unstable in wind.

Ensure hoops are securely pushed into the ground. Utilize the middle support bar for added rigidity. Consider spacing hoops closer together in very windy locations.

Cover material is difficult to secure.

If clips are not included, use garden staples, weights, or string to anchor the cover firmly to the ground or hoops. Ensure the cover is taut but not over-stretched.

Rod joiners are stiff.

Gently wiggle the rods as you push them into the joiners. If resistance is high, ensure no debris is obstructing the joiner socket.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Insert the 900mm black rods into the provided joiners to form the hoops.
  2. Bend the assembled hoops and push them into the ground at your desired spacing and width (typically 1.2m wide for 600mm height, or 75cm wide for slightly increased height).
  3. If using a support bar, connect it between two hoops for added stability.
  4. Drape your chosen cover material (polythene, fleece, netting) over the hoops.
  5. Secure the cover using the provided clips if purchased with a kit that includes them, or use garden staples/weights.

Compatibility:

This kit is designed to be compatible with a variety of cover materials, including:

  • Polythene sheeting
  • Thermacrop
  • 30g Garden Fleece
  • Veggiemesh (insect netting)
  • Bird Netting (black or green)

Care:

  • Wipe down rods and joiners with a damp cloth if they become dirty. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Store covers properly when not in use to prevent damage and extend their lifespan.
  • After the growing season, dismantle the hoops and store them in a dry place to prevent corrosion or degradation.
