This guide is for gardeners looking to protect their fruit trees and bushes from pests and wildlife. The key benefit is securing netting effectively to fruit cages, creating a physical barrier. A caveat is that these clips are specifically for 19mm tubing and may not fit other sizes. These 19mm plastic clips are essential accessories for Gardening Naturally's standard fruit cages and aluminium hoops, designed to firmly attach netting or mesh, ensuring plant protection while allowing essential light, water, and air circulation. Made from durable plastic, they offer a long-lasting solution for garden structures.

These clips are specifically designed for 19mm diameter tubing.
No, all Gardening Naturally aluminium hoops come with clips included. These are for purchasing additional clips or replacements.
They are designed to work with most types of garden netting and mesh used for fruit cages. The effectiveness may vary slightly with very thin or slippery materials.
The number of clips needed depends on the size and shape of your cage. For optimal security, distribute them evenly along the tubing, typically every 30-50cm, ensuring the netting is held taut.
For standard fruit cages and protection, they are suitable. For extremely high wind conditions or heavier mesh, Gardening Naturally offers Heavy duty aluminium hoop clips.
Clean with a damp cloth and store in a dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures and direct sunlight when not in use to prevent degradation.
The clips are made from durable plastic.
Ensure the clip is fully seated over both the 19mm tubing and the netting. Check if the netting material is too smooth; consider using slightly thicker mesh or adding more clips at closer intervals.
Verify that you are using the correct 19mm clips with 19mm tubing. If the tubing is slightly deformed, gently try to reshape it before attaching the clip. Ensure the netting is positioned correctly before clipping.
This may indicate the plastic has become brittle, possibly due to prolonged exposure to extreme cold or UV. Ensure clips are handled with care, especially in low temperatures. If breakage occurs, replace the clip and consider storing spares in a protected environment.
These clips are designed for 19mm tubing. If your cage system uses a different diameter, you will need to source clips specifically designed for that size.
Setup: To set up the clips, simply align the netting or mesh over the 19mm tubing of your fruit cage or hoop. Then, push the plastic clip over both the tubing and the netting, ensuring a secure fit. For larger structures, distribute clips evenly along the frame for optimal support.
Compatibility: These clips are specifically designed for 19mm diameter tubing. They are compatible with Gardening Naturally's standard fruit cages, heavy-duty 19mm low cages, and all standard aluminium hoops. Please note that all aluminium hoops from the brand include clips; these are for additional needs or replacements.
Care: To maintain the clips, regularly inspect them for any signs of wear or damage. Clean them with a damp cloth if they become dirty. Store them in a dry place when not in use to prolong their lifespan. Avoid using harsh chemicals for cleaning, as this may degrade the plastic.
