FAQs
How do I connect multiple tunnels?
Multiple tunnels can be placed end-to-end and secured together by overlapping the ends slightly and ensuring the hoops interlock or are positioned close enough to create a continuous barrier.
Can I water my plants directly through the fleece?
Yes, the non-woven polypropylene fleece is permeable, allowing water, air, and sunlight to pass through directly to your plants.
What are the dimensions of each tunnel?
Each tunnel measures approximately 300cm in length, 45cm in width, and 45cm in height.
Is the fleece material UV resistant?
The product information does not specify UV resistance, but it is designed for outdoor garden use. Prolonged exposure to intense sunlight may affect its longevity over time.
How should I clean the fleece?
You can clean the fleece by wiping it with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.
What material is the frame made of?
The frame is constructed from durable 2.8mm galvanised steel, which provides stability and resistance to rust.
Can this tunnel be used in winter?
It provides protection against cold and frost, making it suitable for extending the growing season into late autumn or protecting overwintering plants. However, it is not designed as a fully insulated greenhouse for harsh winter conditions.
Troubleshooting
Tunnel is unstable in wind
Ensure the galvanised steel hoops are inserted deeply and securely into the ground. Consider adding additional anchoring if necessary, especially in very exposed locations.
Fleece appears too wet inside
Loosen the drawstrings at the ends of the tunnel to increase ventilation. Check that the ground is not waterlogged and adjust watering frequency accordingly.
Minor tears in the fleece
For small tears, consider using strong, weather-resistant tape to patch them. For larger damage, replacement of the fleece might be necessary.
Hoops are difficult to insert
Soften the ground with water before attempting insertion. Ensure the ground is free of large rocks or debris where the hoops are to be placed.
