Troubleshooting
Tunnel structure is unstable in wind.
Ensure hoops are pushed securely into the ground. Add more hoops for increased stability, or use additional ground anchors. Check that the middle support bar is securely fastened.
Cover is difficult to secure.
If clips are not included, use garden canes, heavy stones, or soil to weigh down the edges of the cover. Ensure the cover is large enough for the chosen tunnel dimensions.
Hoops are not holding their shape.
Adjust the spacing between hoops and ensure the middle support bar is properly installed. For wider tunnels, consider adding extra joiners or support rods if available.
