FAQs

What is included in the Flexible Hoop Garden Tunnel Kit?

Each kit includes black rods (900mm each), joiners for connecting the rods, and clips if purchased with a netting or fleece cover.

Can I use different types of covers with this kit?

Yes, the kit is designed to be versatile. You can use various covers like polythene, thermacrop, garden fleece, Veggiemesh, soft butterfly netting, or bird netting depending on your protection needs.

How tall will the tunnel be?

When erected at a width of 1.2m (4ft), the tunnel stands approximately 600mm (2ft) high. Narrowing the width to 75cm will increase the height slightly.

What is the diameter of the hoop rods?

Each black hoop rod has a diameter of 10mm.

Do I need any tools to assemble the kit?

No, special tools are not required. The rods and joiners are designed for simple hand assembly.

Can I create a tunnel longer than the standard kit length?

Yes, you can purchase additional rods and joiners separately to extend the length of your tunnel as needed.

How should I care for the tunnel components?

After use, clean the rods and joiners with a damp cloth and store them in a dry place to ensure their longevity.

Troubleshooting

Hoops seem unstable in wind.

Ensure the middle support bar is correctly attached. For increased stability, consider anchoring the base of the hoops into the ground or using additional weights.

Cover doesn't fit properly.

Adjust the width and tension of the hoops. Ensure clips are evenly spaced and securely fastened to the frame.

Rod joiners are difficult to connect.

Ensure the ends of the rods are clean and free from debris. A slight twist while pushing can help them seat firmly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Assembly is designed to be tool-free. Simply connect the 900mm black rods using the provided joiners to form the desired hoop shape. Position the hoops at your chosen width and length, ensuring the middle support bar is incorporated for stability. Once the structure is in place, attach your chosen cover (polythene, fleece, or netting) using the supplied clips, ensuring it is taut and secure.

Compatibility: The kit is highly compatible with various protective covers, including polythene for greenhouse effects, garden fleece for insulation, Veggiemesh for insect exclusion, and bird netting. It can be used with different plant types and garden sizes, with adjustable dimensions.

Care: After use, dismantle the kit and clean the rods and joiners with a damp cloth. Store all components in a dry place to prevent degradation and ensure longevity. Check netting or fleece covers for any damage before next use.
