FAQs
Can I use this tunnel for frost protection?
Yes, the frame system is modular. You can replace the Ultra Fine Veggiemesh with a horticultural fleece or frost-protection cover when necessary.
Is the mesh UV resistant?
Yes, the netting is designed to withstand outdoor environmental conditions for multiple growing seasons.
Do I need any tools to set this up?
No, the kit is designed for tool-free assembly, though a mallet may be useful if the ground is exceptionally hard.
How do I water my plants once the tunnel is installed?
The Veggiemesh is porous, allowing water to pass through freely. You can water directly over the top of the tunnel.
Can I extend the length of the tunnel later?
The frame is designed as a specific unit, but you can purchase additional kits to line up multiple tunnels for longer rows.
What is the primary benefit of Ultra Fine mesh vs standard netting?
Ultra Fine mesh prevents tiny insects like aphids or carrot fly from entering, whereas standard bird netting only protects against larger animals and birds.
Troubleshooting
The netting is sagging between the hoops
Ensure the netting is pulled evenly from both sides and tighten the clips on each hoop to increase tension.
The tunnel is shifting in strong wind
Check that all 12 ground anchors are pushed fully into the soil and ensure the steel pegs at the ends of the tunnel are driven securely into the ground.
Difficulty inserting hoops into hard or dry soil
Water the planting area thoroughly before setup to soften the ground, making it easier to insert the anchors and hoop rods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Placement: Prepare your garden bed and measure the 4.9m footprint. 2. Assembly: Connect the hoop rods and push them deep into the soil for stability. 3. Securing: Place the mesh over the frame, clip it securely to each hoop, and use the 4 steel pegs at the ends of the tunnel. 4. Maintenance: To clean the mesh, gently shake it out or spray it with water to remove debris. Store the kit in a cool, dry place during the winter to extend the lifespan of the mesh and plastic components. This system is part of a modular range, meaning covers from other Gardening Naturally kits can be swapped easily onto these same hoops.
