FAQs

What is the exact size of the small hoop?

The small hoop measures 1.15m wide by 600mm high once erected.

Do I need tools to set these up?

No, these hoops are designed for manual, tool-free installation.

What width of netting should I buy?

You need a minimum of 2.1m wide netting or fleece to ensure it reaches the ground on both sides of the hoop.

Can I use these in raised beds?

Yes, they work in raised beds as long as the bed has sufficient depth to anchor the hoop ends securely.

Are the covers included?

No, the netting and fleece covers are sold separately.

Can these be left out all winter?

Yes, they are made from aluminium and are designed to be left outside throughout the year.

Troubleshooting

Hoops are leaning or unstable

Ensure the legs are pushed deeper into the soil or verify that the netting is not being pulled too tightly, which can cause the frame to bow.

Netting keeps blowing off

Ensure the provided clips are snapped fully onto the hoop and consider adding additional weights to the edges of the netting at the ground level.

Pros and Cons

  • Durable, weather-resistant aluminium build
  • Includes essential clips for securing covers
  • Suitable for both open ground and raised beds
  • Adaptable for year-round seasonal protection

Cons

  • Netting and fleece covers are sold separately
  • Requires specific net width (minimum 2.1m) to function correctly
  • Ground depth must be sufficient for stable anchoring

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your tunnel, insert both ends of the hoop firmly into the soil, ensuring they are buried deep enough to stand vertically. Space your hoops consistently to maintain structural tension along the entire tunnel length. When attaching your chosen cover, pull it taut over the hoops and use the provided clips to snap the fabric onto the aluminium frame. For maintenance, simply wipe the aluminium poles with a damp cloth if they become excessively muddy or covered in debris. During the winter, check that the ground remains firm to prevent the hoops from leaning, and ensure that your cover is secured tightly to withstand high winds.
