How do I connect the hoops together?

Troubleshooting
Tunnel structure feels unstable
Ensure the middle support bar is correctly installed and securely attached. Check that the hoop ends are firmly pushed into the ground and consider adding extra stakes for more stability, especially in very windy areas.
Cover is not fitting properly
Adjust the width of the hoops to better match the dimensions of your cover. Ensure the cover is pulled taut and secured evenly around the base to prevent sagging.
Hoops are difficult to push into the ground
Lightly moisten the soil where you intend to place the hoops. If the ground is very hard, consider using a rubber mallet gently on the joiner to assist insertion, or choose a softer location.
