Product Information

Full details

Designed for home gardeners seeking a reliable, modular solution for crop protection, these semi-circular aluminium garden hoops allow you to easily construct tunnels or cloches to defend vegetables and fruit from frost, pests, and adverse weather. By providing a flexible framework for garden netting or horticultural fleece, these hoops ensure your plants receive necessary airflow and sunlight while staying secure; however, users should note that the netting or fleece covers are sold separately and must be sized correctly based on the specific hoop dimensions chosen.

FAQs

Are the clips included with the hoops?

Yes, every hoop is supplied with strong clips to secure your chosen netting or fleece.

Can I use these hoops with standard garden cages?

Yes, these are made from the same diameter tubing as the Gardening Naturally walk-in cages, making them highly compatible.

Do I need tools to assemble these?

No, the design is modular and does not require any tools for assembly.

What is the difference between the small and large hoop sizes?

The small hoop measures 1.15m wide and 600mm high, while the large hoop measures 1.55m wide and 800mm high.

Can I leave these outside in the winter?

While the aluminium is durable, it is recommended to store them in a dry place after the growing season to ensure they last for many years.

Why is the width of the netting important?

The netting must be wide enough to reach the ground on both sides to ensure pests cannot crawl under the edges.

Troubleshooting

Hoops feel wobbly in the soil

Ensure the hoop legs are pushed deeper into the ground or use additional support stakes if the soil is loose.

Clips keep sliding off the tubing

Ensure the netting or fleece is pulled taut before attaching the clip to provide enough thickness for the clip to grip effectively.

Netting is blowing away in high winds

Use more clips per hoop or consider weighing down the edges of the netting with ground staples or rocks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your hoops, push the two ends of the hoop firmly into the ground until they are stable. If the soil is particularly hard, you may need to loosen it slightly first. Once in place, lay your chosen netting or fleece over the top, then press the supplied clips over the material and onto the tubing to lock it in place.
