FAQs

What is included in the hoop garden tunnel kit?

Each kit typically includes black rods, joiners, and clips. Clips are provided when purchasing a tunnel with netting or fleece covers.

Can I use different types of covers with this kit?

Yes, the kit is designed to be versatile and can be used with various covers such as fleece, netting, or polythene, allowing you to adapt protection based on seasonal needs.

What are the approximate dimensions of the assembled tunnel?

When erected at 1.2m (4ft) wide, the tunnel stands approximately 600mm (2ft) high. Narrowing the width to 75cm (approx. 2.5ft) increases the height slightly.

What is the diameter of the hoop rods?

Each black hoop rod has a diameter of 10mm, providing a balance of strength and flexibility for easy handling and shaping.

Is this kit suitable for small gardens?

Yes, the tunnel's dimensions are adjustable to different widths and heights, and components can be purchased individually to create custom sizes, making it adaptable to most garden sizes.

Do I need any tools to assemble the kit?

No, special tools are not required for assembly. The rods and joiners connect by hand, making the process quick and simple.

How do I switch between different cover types?

Simply remove the old cover and drape the new one over the hoops, securing it with the provided clips or by burying the edges. The system allows for easy swapping based on your protection requirements.

Troubleshooting

Hoops are not stable enough

Ensure the hoops are firmly pushed into the ground or adequately secured with additional stakes or weights, especially in windy areas. Use the middle support bar to enhance stability.

Cover does not fit correctly

Adjust the width and spacing of the hoops to better match the dimensions of your cover. Ensure the cover is stretched taut to prevent sagging.

Clips are difficult to attach or detach

Ensure the clips are aligned correctly with the rod and cover. If they feel stiff, try a gentle wiggle. Store clips in a clean, dry place to prevent dirt ingress.

Middle support bar does not connect securely

Verify that both ends of the support bar are properly inserted into their designated joiners or attachment points on the hoops. Ensure no obstructions are present.

Cons

Cover material is often sold separately, adding to the total cost.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Begin by inserting the black rods into the provided joiners to create the hoop shape. Place the hoops at desired intervals in your garden bed, ensuring they are stable. Connect the hoops using the middle support bar. Finally, drape your chosen cover (polythene, fleece, or netting) over the hoops and secure it using the provided clips or by burying the edges in the soil.

Compatibility: This kit is designed to be flexible and can accommodate various cover types. It is compatible with Gardening Naturally's range of polythene, thermacrop, garden fleece, Veggiemesh, and bird netting. Ensure the cover you select is sized appropriately for your tunnel configuration.

Care: After use, dismantle the kit and clean the rods and joiners with water to remove soil and debris. Allow components to dry thoroughly before storing them in a dry place to prevent damage and prolong their lifespan. Inspect covers for wear and tear and replace as needed.
