These 10mm c clips hold netting firmly in place while still allowing you to handle and reposition the hoops in one piece. The 10mm garden hoop clips are made to fit our flexible hoops and provide a strong hold for netting. By clipping netting directly to the hoops, you reduce the need for securing pegs and make tunnels simpler to manage during the growing season. Each 10mm c clip grips the hoop and holds the netting so that the tunnel keeps its shape when lifted or moved. This makes it easier to cover and uncover crops without disturbing the plants inside the tunnel. Using garden hoop clips keeps your netting close to the hoops, giving tunnels a cleaner and tidier look. The green colour of the clips helps them blend with garden netting and plants, keeping your growing area neat and organised. These 10mm c clips are suitable for use with netting only. They are not recommended for fleece or polythene as these materials can tear if clipped directly. For all season growing, use fleece separately with pegs or ties. Can garden hoop clips be used with different netting types? Yes, they can be used with bird netting, butterfly netting, or insect mesh as long as they are fitted to 10mm hoops. Are 10mm c clips reusable each season? Yes, you can remove the clips at the end of the season and use them again the following year. How many garden hoop clips are needed per hoop? It is recommended to use three to four clips per hoop to hold netting securely in place. Do garden hoop clips work with polythene covers? No, they should not be used with polythene as this can split or tear when clipped. Can garden hoop clips be used on larger hoop sizes? No, these clips are designed specifically for 10mm diameter hoops and will not fit larger sizes. Are 10mm c clips suitable for use in windy weather? Yes, when used correctly with netting, the clips hold firmly and keep tunnels in place during windy conditions. 10mm clips which fit both our green and black flexible hoops which are 10mm in diameter.
