Product Information

Full details

The Gardening Naturally Square Aluminium Hoops are designed for home gardeners looking to extend their growing season and protect crops in raised beds or open soil. Their primary benefit is enabling the creation of protective tunnels or cloches for frost and pest defense, leading to healthier plants and longer harvests. A key consideration is that netting and covers are sold separately. These hoops are made from durable, weather-resistant aluminium and offer a flexible solution for seasonal crop protection.

FAQs

What are the dimensions of each hoop?

Each hoop measures 92cm high by 115cm wide. Once inserted 12-15cm into the soil, they stand at an erected height of approximately 77-80cm.

Do I need to buy netting separately?

Yes, the hoops are sold without netting or covers. You will need to purchase suitable horticultural fleece or garden netting separately. A minimum width of 2.8m is recommended.

How many hoops are included in this pack?

This product is for a pack of 4 Square Aluminium Hoops.

Can these be used in raised beds?

Yes, the hoops are designed to be pushed into the soil and are suitable for both raised beds and open ground.

How far apart should I place the hoops?

For optimal support of coverings like fleece or netting, place the hoops at regular 1-metre intervals.

What is the benefit of using these hoops?

They allow you to create protective tunnels or cloches to extend your growing season, shield plants from frost and pests, and promote healthier crop development.

Are the clips included important?

Yes, each hoop comes with 6 clips which are essential for securely attaching your chosen fleece or netting to the hoops.

Troubleshooting

Hoops feel unstable

Ensure each hoop is pushed at least 12-15cm into the soil. Check that the ground is firm around the base of each hoop.

Covering is loose or sagging

Ensure adequate tension on the fleece or netting. Use additional clips if provided or secure the edges of the covering firmly to the ground.

Netting or fleece tears easily

Check for sharp edges on the hoops, though aluminium is generally smooth. Consider using softer ties or ensuring the covering is not overly strained.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  3. Space the hoops at desired intervals, typically 1 metre apart, to create the framework for your tunnel or cloche.
