Troubleshooting
Hoops are unstable or collapse in wind.
Ensure the middle support bar is securely attached and consider spacing the hoops closer together. For longer tunnels, adding more support bars may be beneficial. Secure the cover material tightly to the ground.
Cover material is difficult to attach.
Use a combination of clips, pegs, or weights to secure the cover. Ensure the cover is taut but not overly stretched to avoid tearing.
Rods do not fit securely into joiners.
Check for any debris inside the rod ends or joiners. Ensure you are using the correct joiners for the rod diameter (10mm).
Tunnel height is not as expected.
Adjust the width of the tunnel. Erecting the hoops at a narrower width (e.g., 75cm) will increase the tunnel's height.
