FAQs
What size pests does this netting protect against?
The 5mm mesh is effective against mostly larger insects and birds. Smaller insects may still be able to penetrate the netting.
How easy is it to store?
The tunnel converts into a compact concertina fold, making it easy to store when not in use.
Do I need to assemble poles or pegs?
No, the tunnel features built-in galvanised wire hoops that provide its structure, so no additional poles or pegs are required for setup.
What are the dimensions of the tunnel?
The dimensions are Height: 30.0 cm, Width: 300.0 cm, and Depth: 45.0 cm.
Can this tunnel be used in windy conditions?
While the built-in hoops provide structure, it is recommended to secure the base of the tunnel to the ground in very windy conditions to prevent it from blowing away.
What material is the netting made from?
The netting is made from 5mm polypropylene.
What is the warranty period?
The product comes with a 1-year guarantee.
Troubleshooting
Tunnel does not hold its shape
Ensure the wire hoops are fully extended and not bent. If a hoop is bent, carefully try to straighten it. The netting may need to be spread slightly to help it maintain its form.
Drawstring is difficult to operate
Check the drawstring channel for any debris or knots. Gently work the drawstring back and forth to loosen it. Ensure the netting is not overly taut when trying to close it.
Netting appears to be tearing
Inspect the netting for any snagging points or damage. Avoid placing the tunnel near sharp edges or abrasive surfaces. For minor tears, consider using a fabric repair tape suitable for outdoor use.
Pests are still getting in
Ensure the ends of the tunnel are properly closed with the drawstring and that there are no gaps around the base where it meets the ground. Check for smaller insects that may be able to pass through the 5mm mesh.

Cons
- Primarily effective against larger pests; smaller insects may still penetrate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply unfold the tunnel. The integrated galvanised wire hoops will pop into shape, creating the tunnel structure. Position it over your plants. Use the integrated drawstring to open and close the ends as needed for access.
Compatibility: This tunnel is designed for use directly over garden beds, rows of plants, or raised garden beds. It is compatible with most common garden setups. It is not designed for use with trellises or other complex plant supports.
Care: After use, clean any soil or debris from the netting with a damp cloth. Ensure the tunnel is completely dry before folding it away to prevent mildew. Fold it into its compact concertina shape and store in a dry place, such as a shed or garage, to prolong its lifespan. Avoid exposing the netting to sharp objects that could cause tears.
