Product Information

Full details

The Garden Gear Fleece Greenhouse Tunnel (Pack of 2) is designed for home gardeners seeking to protect their crops, extend the growing season, and promote healthier plant development. Its primary benefit is the creation of a micro-climate that shields plants from frost, wind, pests, and birds while allowing essential sunlight, air, and water to penetrate. A potential caveat is its specific dimensions, which may limit its use in very large garden beds without joining multiple units.

FAQs

How do I connect multiple tunnels together?

The tunnels are designed to be joined end-to-end. You can typically overlap the ends slightly or use any provided connecting strips or drawstrings to secure them together, creating a longer continuous tunnel.

Can I water my plants while the tunnel is in place?

Yes, the breathable polypropylene fleece allows water to pass through directly to the plants, so you can water without needing to remove the cover.

What is the expected lifespan of the fleece tunnel?

With proper care and storage, the tunnel should provide protection for several growing seasons. Lifespan can vary depending on climate and intensity of use.

Is this suitable for very large plants?

The tunnel has a fixed height of 45cm, making it best suited for seedlings, young plants, and low-growing crops. Taller plants may outgrow it unless it's used only for early season protection.

How heavy is the tunnel?

Each tunnel weighs approximately 0.6 kg, making them lightweight and easy to move and set up.

What materials are the hoops made from?

The hoops are made from 2.8mm galvanized steel, providing durability and rust resistance.

Does the pack contain two individual tunnels?

Yes, this is a pack of 2 individual fleece greenhouse tunnels.

Troubleshooting

Tunnel is not stable in windy conditions.

Ensure the galvanized steel hoops are pushed deeply enough into the soil. For added security, consider using garden pegs or weights to further anchor the base of the tunnel.

Plants appear to be overheating or lacking airflow.

Loosen the drawstrings at the ends of the tunnel to increase ventilation. If possible, prop open the ends slightly during the warmest parts of the day.

Fleece material seems torn or damaged.

Minor tears can sometimes be repaired with strong garden tape. If damage is extensive, consider replacing the affected tunnel, especially if it compromises protection.

Difficulty folding the tunnel for storage.

Gently fold the tunnel along its existing creases. Ensure all hoops are properly aligned before folding. If the material is stiff, try folding it in a warmer environment.

  2. Unfold the tunnel and position it over your desired planting area (e.g., a vegetable patch, raised bed).
  3. Adjust the height of the tunnel as needed.
  4. Firmly push the galvanized steel hoops into the soil on either side of the tunnel to secure it.
