Product Information

Full details

The Haxnicks Easy Net Tunnel is designed for gardeners seeking to protect their crops from pests and environmental stress throughout the growing season. Its key benefit is providing a natural barrier against common garden pests, reducing disease risk, while also offering shade and retaining soil moisture to support healthy plant growth. A potential caveat is its fixed dimensions, which may require consideration for larger or unusually shaped garden beds. This tunnel features UV-stabilised polyethylene netting with a fine mesh, rust-resistant galvanised steel hoops, and adjustable drawstring closures.

How do I adjust the airflow?

Troubleshooting

Tunnel collapses in wind

Ensure the hoops are fully extended and consider using garden pegs or weights to anchor the base of the hoops to the soil.

Pests are still getting in

Check that the drawstring closures are securely fastened and that there are no gaps or holes in the netting. Ensure the mesh size is appropriate for the pests you are trying to deter.

Netting appears to be shrinking or sagging

Check that the hoops are fully sprung. If the netting is old, UV degradation may have caused some shrinkage; ensure it is anchored to prevent further sagging.

Internal humidity is too high

Loosen the drawstring closures at the ends of the tunnel to increase airflow and ventilation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpack the tunnel and identify the pre-formed hoops and netting.
  2. Gently open the tunnel, allowing the hoops to spring into shape.
  3. Position the tunnel over your prepared planting area, ensuring the hoops are evenly spaced.
  4. Use the drawstring closures at each end to secure the netting, adjusting as needed for airflow.
  5. For added stability in windy locations, consider using garden pegs or weights to secure the base of the hoops to the ground.

Compatibility:

This tunnel is compatible with most garden settings, including raised beds, vegetable patches, and rows of plants. It is best suited for ground-level use.

Care:

  • Clean the netting periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
  • Store the tunnel flat or rolled up in a dry, shaded area during the off-season to prolong its lifespan.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the mesh.
