Product Information

Full details

For gardeners needing to secure netting to fruit cages and tunnels, these 19mm Aluminium Hoop Clips from Gardening Naturally offer a durable solution for pest protection. Their primary benefit is maintaining a strong, reliable grip on netting and cage frames, ensuring plants are shielded. A minor consideration is that while these clips are essential, aluminum hoops typically come with some, and for exceptionally windy conditions, heavier-duty options are recommended.

FAQs

What size tubing are these clips designed for?

These clips are designed for 19mm diameter tubing, commonly found on many garden cages and plant support structures.

Do I need to buy clips separately if I buy aluminium hoops?

Many Gardening Naturally aluminium hoops come supplied with clips. It is recommended to check the product details of the specific aluminium hoops you are purchasing. These 19mm clips are often sold as additional or replacement items.

Can these clips be used in strong winds?

They provide a secure grip for normal conditions. For areas prone to very strong winds, Gardening Naturally offers Heavy Duty Aluminium Hoop Clips which are recommended for enhanced security.

How many clips do I need for a standard fruit cage?

The number of clips needed depends on the size of your cage and the type of netting used. It is generally recommended to place clips every 20-30cm along the frame and at ground level for maximum security.

Are these clips suitable for all types of netting?

Yes, they are suitable for most types of garden netting, mesh, and fleece used for pest and wildlife protection, provided they can be securely fastened around the netting and frame.

How do I clean the clips?

The clips are made of durable plastic and require minimal care. You can wipe them clean with a damp cloth if they become soiled.

Troubleshooting

Clips are not holding netting securely

Ensure you are using the clips on 19mm tubing or compatible frames. Check that the netting is correctly positioned within the clip before applying pressure. For very strong winds or heavy netting, consider using more clips or opting for Heavy Duty Aluminium Hoop Clips.

Clips feel loose on the frame

Verify that the frame tubing is indeed 19mm in diameter. If the tubing is slightly larger, the grip may be compromised. Try repositioning the clip or adding an extra clip nearby for added support.

Netting is difficult to attach with clips

Slightly loosen the netting's tension before applying the clip. Ensure the clip is opened sufficiently to accommodate the netting and tubing before pushing it into place. A small amount of gentle leverage might be needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a secure and reliable hold for garden netting.
  • Durable construction withstands outdoor weather conditions.
  • Easy and quick to attach to cage frames.
  • Helps maintain a tidy garden appearance.
  • Allows essential resources like sun, water, and air to reach plants.

Cons

  • May require additional clips for very large structures.
  • Not specifically designed for extreme wind conditions (consider heavy-duty alternatives).
  • Primarily intended for use with 19mm tubing or standard aluminium hoops.
  • Aluminium hoops are often supplied with clips, so check existing stock.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up, simply align the netting or mesh over your cage frame or hoop. Take one 19mm Aluminium Hoop Clip and position it to encompass both the netting and the supporting tube of the cage. Gently push the clip downwards until it securely grips both components. Repeat this process along the frame at regular intervals to ensure the netting is held taut and evenly distributed.

Compatibility: These clips are specifically designed for use with 19mm diameter tubing commonly found on many garden cages and low tunnels. They are also compatible with standard aluminium hoops. If you are using different sized tubing or frames, these clips may not provide an optimal fit. For reference, other compatible products include the Gardening Naturally Aluminium Hoop Clips and 19mm Aluminium Hoop Clips for Plant Supports.

Care: The clips are made from durable plastic designed to withstand outdoor conditions. No special care is required. To clean, wipe them down with a damp cloth if they become dirty. Store them in a dry place when not in use to prolong their lifespan, though they are built for permanent outdoor exposure.
