Product Information

Full details

The Gardening Naturally High Top Garden Hoops are designed for home gardeners and allotment owners looking to build effective crop protection tunnels over raised beds or open soil. These sturdy 19mm aluminium hoops provide essential height for growing vegetables, shielding your plants from pests and harsh weather when paired with netting, fleece, or polythene. While they offer excellent durability and ease of use, users in particularly windy, exposed locations may need to purchase additional support bars or anchors to ensure maximum stability.

FAQs

Can I use these hoops on raised beds?

Yes, they are designed to work effectively on both open soil and raised garden beds.

What is the height of the hoop once installed?

Once the hoops are pushed into the soil to the recommended 12cm depth, the erected height is approximately 66cm.

Does this set include the netting?

No, these hoops are supplied with the frame and clips only. Netting, fleece, or polythene must be purchased separately.

How should I space the hoops?

We recommend a spacing of approximately one metre between each hoop for optimal structural support.

Can I increase the height of the hoops?

Yes, optional height extensions are available if you need more clearance for particularly tall crops.

Are these hoops rust-proof?

They are made from aluminium, which is naturally resistant to rust, making them ideal for long-term outdoor use.

Troubleshooting

Hoops are leaning or unstable

Ensure the legs are pushed at least 12cm into the ground. If the soil is loose, use additional ground anchors or a support bar.

Covering material is sagging

Ensure the hoops are spaced no further than one metre apart and pull the material taut before attaching the clips.

Wind is blowing off the cover

Verify that all clips are securely attached and ensure the base of the covering material is either buried in the soil or pinned down with heavy-duty garden pegs.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward and requires no specialized tools. Simply press the aluminium legs into the soil until the hoop reaches the desired height. When calculating how much netting or fleece to buy, ensure a minimum cover width of 1.8 meters and remember to add at least 1.3 meters to the total length of your row to allow for proper coverage at the tunnel ends.

To keep your hoops in top condition, clear away soil buildup after removing them at the end of the season. Store them in a dry place to maintain the integrity of the aluminium. If you find the structure is swaying in high winds, consider adding cloche support bars or professional-grade ground anchors for extra reinforcement.
