FAQs

What size tubing are these clips designed for?

These clips are specifically designed for 19mm diameter tubing.

Do I need these clips if I buy aluminium hoops?

No, all Gardening Naturally aluminium hoops come with clips included. These are for purchasing additional clips or replacements.

Can these clips be used with any netting?

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.

How many clips should I use for a standard fruit cage?

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.

Are these clips suitable for heavy-duty applications?

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.

How should I care for these plastic 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.

What is the material of the clips?

The clips are made from durable plastic.

Troubleshooting

Netting slips despite using clips

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.

Clips are difficult to attach

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.

Clips break during installation

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.

Clips don't fit other cage systems

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, Compatibility & Care

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.
