FAQs

What is the main purpose of these Garden Tunnel Covers?

The primary purpose is to protect your plants and crops from various environmental factors such as insects, birds, butterflies, frost, and temperature fluctuations, thereby helping to manage growing conditions throughout the year.

Do I need to buy hoops separately?

Yes, these covers are designed to fit over existing or separately purchased flexible garden hoops, which are required for setup.

What types of protection do the different covers offer?

Options include Veggiemesh and Ultra Fine Veggiemesh for insect protection, Bird Netting and Butterfly Netting for specific pest deterrence, and Fleece, Thermacrop, and Polythene for warmth and frost protection.

How do I secure the covers to the hoops?

The covers can be secured using clips, pegs, or ties, which attach the cover material to the flexible hoops.

Can I use these covers with any type of hoop?

They are compatible with both green garden hoops tunnels and black flexible hoops.

How do I maintain the covers?

It is recommended to gently clean them with a damp cloth if they become dirty and to store them in a clean, dry place when not in use to ensure longevity.

Can I change the type of cover without buying new hoops?

Yes, one of the key benefits is that you can easily swap covers to change the level of protection without needing to purchase new hoops.

Troubleshooting

Cover is not staying secure on the hoops.

Ensure you are using sufficient clips or pegs, and that they are firmly attached to both the cover and the hoop. For added security, consider using ties around the hoop and cover.

Pests are still getting through the netting.

Verify that the correct mesh size is being used for the specific pest. Ensure there are no gaps or holes in the cover and that it is securely fastened to the ground or hoops.

Cover seems to be retaining too much heat or moisture.

If using a denser cover like polythene, ensure adequate ventilation by leaving an opening or using a more breathable mesh or netting option during warmer periods.

Cover ripped during installation or use.

Handle the covers with care to avoid tears, especially around fixing points. For minor rips, a repair patch or strong tape may offer a temporary solution.

  • Reusable with existing hoop systems, offering a cost-effective solution.

Cons

  • Requires separate purchase of garden hoops for setup.
  • Effectiveness against extreme weather may vary depending on the chosen cover type.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your Garden Tunnel Covers, first establish your flexible garden hoops (either green or black) in the desired location. Once the hoops are in place, stretch the chosen cover over them. Secure the cover to the hoops using garden clips, pegs, or ties. Ensure the cover is taut to prevent wind damage and maintain effective protection. These covers are compatible with standard flexible garden hoops. To care for your covers, gently clean them with a damp cloth as needed to remove dirt or debris. Store them clean and dry during the off-season to prolong their lifespan.
