Full details

The Gardening Naturally Aluminium Tube Clips (16mm Pack 20 Black) are designed for gardeners seeking to secure fabric covers to aluminium fruit or vegetable cages, ensuring a tidy appearance and preventing wind resistance issues, especially with fleece. While primarily for cages, these versatile clips can also support plants on stakes, attach netting to structures, and label pots. A potential caveat is their specific 16mm size, which may not fit all tubing diameters.

How should I clean the clips?

Troubleshooting

Clips do not fit the tubing.

Ensure the tubing diameter is approximately 16mm. These clips are designed for this specific size and may not fit larger or smaller diameters.

Clips feel loose on the cage.

Check that the tubing is clean and dry. Ensure the fabric is properly tucked under the clip. For a tighter fit, consider using more clips per section.

Clips break when trying to open them.

Handle clips gently. While durable, excessive force, especially in cold weather, could lead to breakage. Try warming the clips slightly before applying pressure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effectively secures fabric covers to cages, preventing wind damage.
  • Offers additional utility for plant support and identification in the garden.
  • Durable construction suitable for outdoor use.
  • Helps maintain a neat and organized garden appearance.
  • Convenient pack size for typical gardening needs.

Cons

  • The 16mm size is specific and may not fit all cage tubing.
  • Primarily designed for aluminium tubing; performance on other materials is not guaranteed.
  • A pack of 20 might be insufficient for very large or numerous cages.
  • Black colour may be more visible on certain garden aesthetics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To attach fabric to a cage, simply slide the clip over the aluminium tubing and then tuck the edge of the fabric underneath the clip. For plant support, open the clip slightly, place the plant stem and its support stake inside, and close the clip around them. To attach netting, secure the netting to a frame by placing the clip over both the netting and the frame member.

Compatibility: These clips are designed for 16mm diameter aluminium tubing, commonly found in fruit and vegetable cages. They can also be used on other garden stakes or structures where the diameter is compatible. They are not recommended for use on flexible or very thin materials where they might cause damage.

Care: Clean the clips periodically with a damp cloth to remove soil or debris. Store them in a dry place when not in use to prolong their lifespan.
