FAQs

How wide should garden netting hoops be spaced apart?

For creating a stable tunnel, hoops are best spaced between 75cm and 1 metre apart.

What is the minimum fabric width needed for garden netting hoops?

A minimum fabric width of 1.8 metres is required to cover the hoops effectively when forming a tunnel.

Can flexible garden cloche hoops be used in winter?

Yes, they can be covered with fleece or polythene to protect crops from frost during winter.

Do hoops for garden netting come with anchors?

Yes, each set of hoops includes anchors to secure them firmly into the soil.

How tall are hoops for garden netting when set up?

When set up at a width of 1.2 metres, the hoops stand around 60cm tall. Narrower spacing increases the height slightly.

What covers can be used with flexible garden cloche hoops?

You can use fleece, Veggiemesh, thermacrop, polythene, bird netting, or butterfly netting depending on the season and your protection needs.

Are clips or netting included with the hoops?

No, the hoops come complete with anchors. Hoop clips and netting are sold separately.

Troubleshooting

Hoops are not stable in the ground.

Ensure the anchors are pushed fully into the soil. For very loose or sandy soil, consider using longer stakes or additional securing methods.

Covering material does not fit properly.

Check the required fabric width (minimum 1.8m). Adjust the spacing between hoops or use a wider piece of material. When calculating length, add the height of the cloche to the desired tunnel length.

Hoops bend excessively under the weight of the covering.

Ensure the hoop is fully seated in its anchor. If using heavy coverings like thick polythene, consider slightly reducing the distance between hoops to provide more support.

Anchors are difficult to insert into hard soil.

Pre-dig small holes or soften the ground with water before inserting the anchors. Alternatively, use a rubber mallet to gently tap them in.

  • Adaptable to various garden sizes and crop heights.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Select your desired width for the hoops (75cm to 1.2m).
  2. Insert the provided anchors securely into the soil at your chosen spacing (75cm to 1m apart for tunnels).
  3. Gently bend each 1.8m PVC rod into an arch and place the ends into the anchors.
  4. Ensure the hoops are stable and upright.
  5. Drape your chosen covering material (fleece, netting, polythene, etc.) over the hoops.
  6. Secure the covering along the sides of the tunnel or cloche using appropriate methods (e.g., soil, stones, or clips if purchased separately).

Care:

  • After use, remove the coverings and store them appropriately.
