FAQs

What is included in the hoop garden tunnel kit?

Each kit typically includes black rods, joiners, and sometimes clips. Specific netting or fleece covers are usually sold separately and depend on the kit variation chosen.

Can I use different types of covers with this kit?

Yes, the kit is designed to be versatile and can accommodate various covers like polythene, fleece, or netting, allowing you to adapt protection as needed.

How tall is the tunnel when assembled?

When erected at a 1.2m (4ft) width, the tunnel stands approximately 600mm (2ft) high. Narrowing the width to 75cm will increase the height slightly.

What is the diameter of the hoop rods?

Each black rod has a 10mm diameter, providing a good balance of strength and flexibility.

Do I need any tools to assemble the kit?

No, the hoop tunnel kit is designed for tool-free assembly. The rods and joiners connect easily by hand.

Can I extend the length of the tunnel?

Yes, you can purchase additional rods, joiners, and covers to extend the tunnel to your desired length or create multiple connected tunnels.

How should I care for the tunnel components?

After use, clean the rods and joiners with a damp cloth and store them in a dry place to maintain their condition and prolong their lifespan.

Troubleshooting

Tunnel structure feels unstable in wind.

Ensure hoops are firmly planted in the ground. Consider using ground anchors or additional stakes, especially in exposed areas. Ensure the middle support bar is correctly installed.

Cover is difficult to secure tightly.

Use garden pegs or weights along the edges of the cover for a tighter fit. Ensure the cover is the appropriate size for the tunnel dimensions.

Rod joiners are difficult to connect.

Ensure the ends of the rods are clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of water or silicone spray to the joiner if resistance is high.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Easy to assemble and disassemble without tools.
Highly adaptable to different garden sizes and shapes.
Provides effective protection against frost, birds, and insects.
Offers flexibility to change protective covers based on seasonal needs.
Enhances plant health and extends the growing season.

Cons

Specific netting or fleece covers are not always included and must be purchased separately.
May require additional kits or components for larger or more complex garden areas.
The 10mm rods, while flexible, might need additional support in very high winds if not adequately secured.
The height of the tunnel is moderate, which may not suit very tall plants without modification.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Insert the black rods into the provided joiners to create the desired hoop shape.
Position the hoops in the ground at your chosen spacing and width.
If using a tunnel with a middle support bar, connect it across the hoops.
Drape your chosen cover (polythene, fleece, or netting) over the hoops.
Secure the cover using the provided clips (if included with your cover choice) or by tucking the edges under soil or stones.

Compatibility:

This kit is designed to be compatible with a wide range of horticultural covers, including polythene, fleece, and various types of netting. You can purchase different covers separately to suit your specific protection needs throughout the year. The system is modular, allowing you to combine multiple kits or individual components to create tunnels of various lengths and configurations.

Care:

After use, dismantle the tunnel and clean the rods and joiners with a damp cloth to remove soil and debris. Store the components in a dry place to prevent damage and ensure longevity. Inspect covers for any tears or wear and replace as necessary.
