Round Aluminium Hoops for Garden Tunnel Cloches offer a practical and versatile solution for creating protective tunnels and cloches, helping safeguard fruit and vegetable crops from weather, birds and pests while supporting healthier, more reliable growth throughout the season. Ideal for kitchen gardens, they allow flexible use with netting or fleece to suit different stages of cultivation.
Each semi-circular hoop is manufactured from durable aluminium tubing designed for long-term use, providing strength and reliability season after season. Supplied with secure fixing clips, the hoops make it easy to attach your chosen covering material, whether using fleece to encourage early crop development or switching to netting later for ongoing pest protection.
The erected size of each hoop is approximately 1.55m wide x 800mm high (5ft 1in x 2ft 7in). The actual hoop measures 1.55m wide x 920mm high, with 12cm designed to be pushed into the soil for secure installation. For best coverage, a minimum 2.4m width of netting or fleece is required, with an additional 1.7m in length recommended to fully cover both ends of the tunnel. Hoops should be spaced approximately 1m apart for optimal structure and crop coverage.
Each hoop is supplied with four clips for securing netting or fleece in place. The system is designed for ease of use, allowing gardeners to quickly adapt protection as growing conditions change. Manufactured from 19mm diameter aluminium tubing with a 0.9mm wall thickness and 17.2mm internal diameter, the hoops are engineered for strength while remaining lightweight and easy to install. They are also compatible with fittings used in Walk-In Fruit and Vegetable Cages, allowing integration into wider garden protection systems.
Please note, this product includes hoops only. Netting, fleece and other coverings are sold separately.
