FAQs

What size tubing are these clips designed for?

These clips are specifically designed for 19mm diameter tubing, commonly found in fruit cages and aluminium hoop systems.

Can I use these clips with any type of netting?

Yes, they are suitable for most types of garden netting, including bird netting, insect netting, and horticultural fleece, provided the netting can be secured by the clip.

Do I need any tools to install these clips?

No, the clips are designed for tool-free installation. You simply push them onto the netting and tubing by hand.

Are these clips suitable for very windy locations?

For standard conditions, they provide adequate security. However, in areas prone to strong winds, it is recommended to use additional clips or consider the 'Gardening Naturally Heavy duty aluminium hoop clips' for enhanced stability.

How many clips come with a pack?

The product information does not specify the quantity per pack. Please refer to the product packaging or retailer listing for this detail.

Can these clips be used on wooden stakes?

These clips are designed for use with 19mm diameter tubing (metal or plastic). They are not intended for use with wooden stakes.

Will these clips protect against all types of pests?

They provide a physical barrier against larger pests like birds and some insects. For very small pests like aphids, fine-mesh netting is required, and these clips will help secure that netting.

Troubleshooting

Netting is loose or blowing off in wind.

Ensure clips are fully engaged on the 19mm tubing. Consider adding more clips at closer intervals. For high-wind areas, explore using 'Gardening Naturally Heavy duty aluminium hoop clips' or additional ties for extra security.

Clips are difficult to attach.

Verify that you are using 19mm diameter tubing. Ensure the netting is properly positioned before attaching the clip. If the tubing is slightly deformed, gently reshape it before applying the clip.

Clips break during installation.

Check that the clips are not being forced onto tubing that is significantly larger than 19mm. Avoid over-bending the clips during attachment. Ensure clips are stored in a way that prevents them from becoming brittle, especially in cold weather.

Pros and Cons

  • Simple and quick to install without tools.
  • Durable construction ensures long-term use.
  • Compatible with common fruit cage and hoop sizes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up, simply align the clip with the 19mm diameter aluminium hoop or cage tubing and the edge of your netting. Push firmly until the clip secures both the netting and the tubing. Repeat this process around the base and frame as needed to create a complete barrier.

Compatibility: These clips are designed for use with 19mm diameter tubing, commonly found in standard walk-in fruit cages and 19mm heavy-duty low cages. They are also intended for use with netting and horticultural fleece. Note that all Gardening Naturally aluminium hoops are supplied with clips already included.

Care: Clean the clips periodically with a damp cloth to remove soil and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Store them in a dry place when not in use to prolong their lifespan. While durable, prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions may affect the plastic's integrity over time.
