FAQs

Do the garden hoops come with the covers?

No, the garden hoops are sold separately. These are tunnel covers designed to be used with compatible garden hoops.

What is the difference between Veggiemesh and Ultra Fine Veggiemesh?

Ultra Fine Veggiemesh has a smaller mesh size, offering protection against even smaller insects like aphids, while still allowing air and moisture to pass through.

Can I use these covers in strong winds?

Yes, the covers can be secured with clips or pegs. For very windy conditions, it is recommended to use multiple securing points along the base and on the hoops themselves for maximum stability.

How do I choose the right size cover?

Measure the length of your garden hoop tunnel. The covers are available in lengths of 2.9m, 3.9m, 4.9m, and 5.9m. Select the cover that matches or is slightly larger than your hoop structure.

What type of cover is best for frost protection?

For frost protection, use Fleece, Thermacrop, or Polythene covers. These materials help to retain warmth around your plants during colder weather.

How should I clean and store the covers?

Clean with cool water and mild soap, then allow to dry completely before storing in a dry, shaded area to maintain their condition.

Can I leave the covers on all year round?

You can swap covers to suit different seasons. For instance, netting offers protection during warmer months, while fleece or polythene is best for cooler periods. Ensure adequate ventilation if leaving polythene covers on for extended periods in warmer weather.

Troubleshooting

Cover does not fit hoops securely

Ensure you are using compatible hoops and that the cover is the correct length. Use garden pegs or clips to secure the cover to the hoops and the ground.

Netting tears easily

Handle the netting with care, especially during setup and removal. Avoid dragging it over rough surfaces. Check for any sharp edges on hoops or surrounding structures.

Frost protection seems insufficient

Ensure the Fleece, Thermacrop, or Polythene cover is completely sealed around the base with no gaps. For extreme cold, consider adding an extra layer or using a thicker material.

Airflow seems restricted

Make sure the netting or mesh is not packed too tightly against the plants. The material itself should allow air through; check that no debris is blocking the weave.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides effective protection against a range of garden threats.
  • Simple to install and remove, saving gardener's time.
  • Adaptable to different weather conditions and pest pressures.
  • Durable and designed for repeated use with compatible hoops.
  • Allows for essential airflow and moisture for plant health.

Cons

  • Hoops are sold separately and must be purchased in addition to the covers.
  • The effectiveness of frost protection depends on the specific cover material used (e.g., Fleece, Thermacrop, Polythene).
  • May require additional securing methods like pegs or clips in very windy conditions.
  • Only compatible with flexible garden hoops, not rigid structures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up, first ensure you have compatible garden hoops. Lay the hoops out in your desired tunnel configuration. Drape the chosen tunnel cover over the hoops, ensuring it is spread evenly. Secure the edges of the cover to the ground using garden pegs, clips, or by burying the edges lightly with soil. For added stability, especially in windy conditions, use the provided clips or additional garden pegs to attach the cover to the hoops themselves.

Compatibility: These tunnel covers are compatible with both Gardening Naturally green garden hoops tunnels and black flexible hoops. The covers are available in several lengths: 2.9m, 3.9m, 4.9m, and 5.9m. Ensure you select a cover length that matches your hoop structure.

Care: To maintain the covers, clean them at the end of each season. Gently brush off loose soil and debris. If necessary, wash with cool water and a mild soap. Allow the covers to dry completely before storing them to prevent mildew. Store in a dry, shaded place to prolong their lifespan.
