FAQs

Can S Hooks be reused?

Yes, S hooks are designed to be durable and can be reused many times without losing their function.

What size netting are these S hooks suitable for?

They are suitable for standard bird netting, butterfly netting, and poultry netting across a range of common thicknesses.

Are S hooks suitable for year-round outdoor use?

Yes, they are made from galvanised steel and are designed for allotment and garden use, allowing them to stay in place for the whole growing season without issue.

How should S hooks be spaced on a fruit cage?

Spacing them every 30 centimetres along the join normally provides secure coverage for fruit and vegetables.

Can S hooks be used to connect netting to frames?

They are mainly intended for connecting netting to netting, but they may also link to thin wire or mesh where suitable.

Do S hooks require tools for fitting?

No, tools are not needed. They can be applied and removed by hand quickly and easily during garden work.

What are the dimensions of the S hooks?

The dimensions are 25mm in length and 3mm in diameter.

What pack sizes are available?

S Hooks are available in pack sizes of 50, 100, or 250.

Troubleshooting

Netting gaps still present

Ensure netting edges are overlapped sufficiently before applying the S hook. Increase the number of S hooks used, spacing them closer together (e.g., every 15-20 cm) for a tighter seal.

S hook is difficult to attach

Verify that the netting mesh is not too thick for the 3mm diameter of the hook. Ensure you are attaching to the netting itself and not a thicker support structure.

Hooks are rusting

While galvanised steel offers good rust resistance, prolonged exposure in harsh conditions might cause minor surface rust. This typically does not affect functionality. If rust is significant, consider replacing the affected hooks.
