FAQs

What is included in the hoop garden tunnel kit?

Each kit includes black rods, joiners, and clips. Note that netting or cover materials like fleece or polythene are typically sold separately.

Can the garden tunnel be used with different types of covers?

Yes, the system is designed to be versatile and can accommodate various covers such as fleece, netting, or polythene, allowing you to adapt protection based on the season and specific needs.

How tall are the assembled plant tunnels?

When assembled to a width of 1.2m (4ft), the tunnels stand approximately 600mm (2ft) high. Narrowing the width to 75cm (2.5ft) can slightly increase the height.

What is the diameter of the hoop rods?

Each black hoop rod has a diameter of 10mm, providing a good balance of strength and flexibility for easy handling and installation.

Are these garden netting cloches suitable for all garden sizes?

Yes, the modular design allows for adjustment to different widths and heights. Kits are available in various lengths, and components can be bought separately to build custom-sized tunnels.

Do I need tools to assemble the hoop tunnel kit?

No special tools are required. The rods and joiners are designed to connect easily by hand, ensuring a quick and simple assembly process.

How does the middle support bar enhance the tunnel?

The middle support bar provides extra strength and stability to the structure, particularly important in windy conditions or when using heavier covers, helping to maintain the tunnel's shape and integrity.

Troubleshooting

Tunnel is unstable in wind

Ensure the middle support bar is securely attached and consider using additional stakes or anchoring points for the cover, especially if using lighter materials or in very exposed locations.

Hoops are difficult to shape

Gently bend the rods into the desired shape. If resistance is met, ensure the joiners are fully seated and that the rod is not being forced at an unnatural angle.

Cover does not fit correctly

Measure your assembled tunnel dimensions and compare them to the cover size. You may need to adjust the width or length of the tunnel, or consider a larger cover if available.

Clips are not holding the cover

Ensure the clips are attached to a section of the hoop or rod where there is sufficient material to grip. For very thin materials, consider using additional clips or a different fastening method.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Provides year-round plant protection against various threats.
Highly customizable in size and adaptable to different cover materials.
Easy to assemble without the need for special tools.
Offers good stability due to the integrated support bar.
Durable components designed for repeated use.

Cons

Netting or cover materials may need to be purchased separately.
The height might be limited for very tall or vining plants.

Initial setup may require some planning for optimal placement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Assemble the tunnel by connecting the 900mm black rods using the provided joiners. Shape the hoops to your desired width (e.g., 1.2m or 75cm) and position them in your garden. Secure the structure and attach your chosen cover (sold separately) using the provided clips. Ensure the middle support bar is connected for added stability.

Compatibility: This kit is compatible with a range of covers including polythene, thermacrop, 30g garden fleece, Veggiemesh, soft butterfly netting, and bird netting (black or green). Ensure your chosen cover is sized appropriately for the tunnel dimensions.

Care: After use, clean the rods and joiners with a damp cloth to remove soil and debris. Store components in a dry place to prevent damage. Inspect clips and rods for wear and tear before reassembly.
