FAQs

What components are included in a standard kit?

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

Can I use this tunnel with different types of covers?

Yes, the system is designed to be adaptable. You can switch between covers like fleece, netting, or polythene depending on the season and the specific protection needed for your plants.

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 increases the height slightly.

What is the diameter of the hoop rods?

Each black hoop rod has a diameter of 10mm, providing sufficient support while remaining flexible for easy shaping.

Are special tools needed for assembly?

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

Can I purchase individual components to extend or customize my tunnel?

Yes, it is possible to buy components separately, allowing you to build custom-sized tunnels or extend existing ones.

How do I choose the right cover for my needs?

For frost protection, consider polythene or thermacrop. For insect exclusion, use Veggiemesh or soft butterfly netting. For bird protection, opt for bird netting.

Troubleshooting

Tunnel structure feels unstable

Ensure the middle support bar is correctly attached and taut. Check that all joiners are fully inserted into the rods. Consider adding extra joiners or securing the base of the hoops to the ground if in a very windy location.

Cover is difficult to attach

Ensure the cover is spread evenly over the hoops before attempting to attach clips. Check that the clips are the correct type for your cover and are firmly secured.

Rod joiners are stiff

Gently twist the rods while inserting them into the joiners. If very stiff, a small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied to the joiner interior.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Provides effective protection against frost, birds, and insects when paired with appropriate covers.
Easy to assemble and disassemble without the need for tools.
Adaptable to different garden sizes and plant heights due to adjustable width and height configurations.
The middle support bar adds significant stability against wind.
Can be customized with various cover types (polythene, fleece, netting) for different protection needs.

Cons

Covers (netting, fleece, polythene) are often sold separately, requiring additional purchase.
The base kit provides structural support but no inherent protection without a cover.
May require multiple kits or components for larger garden areas.
The 10mm diameter rods might be less robust for extremely harsh weather conditions without proper anchoring.
Requires careful selection of cover type to ensure the desired level of protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Assembly is straightforward. Insert the black rods (900mm each) into the provided joiners to create the hoop shape. Position the hoops at your desired width, ensuring they are spaced appropriately for your plants. Connect the hoops using the middle support bar. Secure the chosen cover (sold separately) over the hoops using the provided clips (if included with the cover).

Compatibility: This kit is designed to be compatible with a range of covers including polythene, thermacrop, 30g garden fleece, Veggiemesh, soft butterfly netting, and black or green bird netting. Components can also be purchased separately to create custom-sized tunnels.

Care: After use, clean the rods, joiners, and clips with a damp cloth to remove soil and debris. Store components in a dry place to prolong their lifespan. Inspect netting and covers for any damage before re-use.
