Product Information

Full details

Designed for allotment gardeners and home growers, these 19mm aluminium garden hoops provide a robust, easy-to-handle solution for creating crop protection tunnels over raised beds or open soil. They offer excellent vertical clearance for taller plants while allowing for the attachment of netting, fleece, or polythene to defend against pests and harsh weather year-round, though users in particularly windy locations may require additional anchoring accessories.

FAQs

What is the erected height of the small hoops?

The small hoops stand at approximately 66cm in height once installed correctly.

How wide of a cover do I need?

The minimum cover width required for these hoops is 1.8 meters.

Can I use these on raised beds?

Yes, they are suitable for both open soil beds and raised timber beds.

Are the clips included with the hoops?

Yes, each hoop set includes the necessary clips to secure your chosen netting or fleece.

How deep should I push the hoops into the ground?

The hoops should be pushed into the soil about 12cm to ensure proper structural integrity.

Do I need to buy extensions?

Extensions are optional; they are only necessary if you require more growing height than the standard 66cm provided by the base hoops.

Troubleshooting

Hoops leaning or unstable in the ground

Push the hoop deeper into the soil if possible or use additional cloche support bars to connect the arches for lateral stability.

Covering material slipping off

Ensure that the provided clips are snapped firmly over the material and the hoop, and verify that the cover is not too small for the width of the tunnel.

Hoops feel too short for my plants

Purchase and attach the optional height extensions to increase the clearance for your specific crops.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is a straightforward process: mark your intended positions, push each end of the hoop roughly 12cm into the soil or garden bed, and ensure they are aligned. For cover installation, drape your chosen material over the arches and secure it using the provided clips at the apex of each hoop.

For maintenance, wipe the aluminium frames down with a damp cloth at the end of the season before storing them in a dry shed. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the aluminium surface. If you intend to use the hoops in very soft, tilled soil, you may want to pack the earth firmly around the insertion points to improve stability.
