These semi-circular hoops provide an easy-to-install structure for tunnels or cloches, allowing for year-round cultivation and improved crop yields. While these durable hoops offer excellent versatility for both raised beds and open soil, they require a specific minimum netting width of 2.4 meters to ensure full coverage.

FAQs

How far apart should I space the hoops?

We recommend spacing each hoop 1 meter apart to maintain structural stability and proper support for your netting or fleece.

Can I use these in a wooden raised bed?

Yes, they work well in raised beds as long as there is enough soil depth to securely anchor the ends of the hoops.

What is the minimum netting width I need?

You need a minimum of 2.4 meters of netting or fleece width to ensure it reaches the ground on both sides of the hoop.

Are these hoops rust-proof?

Yes, they are made of aluminium, which is naturally resistant to rust and suitable for year-round outdoor use.

Do I need any tools to install them?

No tools are required. The hoops are designed to be pushed directly into the soil by hand.

Can I use fleece and netting together?

While you can layer them, it is generally better to choose the material that suits your current goal, such as fleece for heat or netting for pests.

Troubleshooting

Hoops leaning or falling over in wind

Ensure the hoop legs are inserted deeper into the soil and that the netting is tensioned evenly on both sides to prevent uneven pulling.

Netting or fleece slipping off the hoop

Check that the supplied clips are pushed firmly over the fabric and the hoop to lock the material securely in place.

Hoop feels too short for the plant growth

Consider using hoop height extensions if compatible, or transition to a different trellis system for high-climbing plants.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Resistant to rust and weather elements for long-term use
Easy to install and adjust in soil or raised beds
Effective at protecting crops from birds, insects, and frost
Reusable year after year
Includes essential clips for immediate setup

Cons

Requires significant soil depth for secure anchoring
Minimum netting width of 2.4m is strictly required
Spacing recommendation of 1m means you may need multiple units for long rows

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is straightforward: identify the desired location, ensure the soil is loose enough for insertion, and push both ends of the hoop into the ground until stable. Once the structure is in place, drape your chosen cover material over the arch and use the provided clips to lock the material onto the metal tubing. For maintenance, these aluminium hoops require minimal care; simply wipe them down with a damp cloth if they become excessively muddy during storage. During the winter, if not in use, store them in a dry place to prevent any accumulation of debris. Ensure your netting or fleece is at least 2.4m wide, as anything narrower will not reach the ground on both sides, compromising the protective barrier.
