Full details

The Gardening Naturally High Top Garden Hoops are ideal for home gardeners and allotment owners looking to build effective crop protection tunnels for raised beds or open soil.

FAQs

Are the covers included with the hoops?

No, the hoops are sold as the structural framework. You will need to purchase netting, fleece, or polythene separately based on your specific gardening needs.

Can I use these on raised beds?

Yes, these hoops are fully compatible with both raised beds and standard open-ground garden plots.

How do I make the tunnel taller?

The system supports the use of optional extensions that can be purchased to increase the total vertical height of your hoop tunnel.

What is the diameter of the aluminium tubing?

The tubing is 19mm in diameter, providing a balance between structural strength and weight.

How many clips come with each hoop?

Each individual hoop is supplied with 4 clips to keep your protective covers firmly in place.

Is the aluminium rust-proof?

Aluminium is highly resistant to corrosion and rust, making it an excellent material for long-term outdoor gardening use.

Troubleshooting

Hoops are leaning or unstable in wind

Ensure they are inserted deeper into the soil and consider adding supplementary cloche support bars or external ground anchors.

Netting is sagging between hoops

Decrease the distance between the hoops to less than one metre or ensure the netting is pulled taut before clipping.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Durable yet lightweight aluminium material
Easy to install and reposition as needed
Generous height accommodates a variety of plant types
Versatile cover compatibility for year-round protection
Secure clipping system prevents cover slippage

Cons

Requires additional anchoring in high-wind locations
Covers are sold separately from the hoops
Fixed width may not suit extremely wide garden beds

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up your tunnel is a straightforward process:

Identify your desired planting row length.
Space the hoops at one-metre intervals.
Insert the legs into the soil, ensuring they are at a uniform depth.
Drape your chosen netting or fleece over the top.
Secure the material using the provided clips.
Finally, weigh down or peg the bottom edges of the cover into the soil to prevent wind ingress.

For maintenance, simply hose off the aluminium hoops at the end of the season to remove soil buildup and store them in a dry location to prolong their lifespan. If you notice any wobbliness in exposed areas, utilize cloche support bars to cross-brace the structure.
