High Top Garden Hoops Ideal For Taller Crops

Aluminium Garden Hoops For Netting And Plant Protection

These 19mm aluminium garden hoops are designed for creating crop protection tunnels in allotments, gardens and raised beds. The hoops give generous growing height and can be covered with garden netting, fleece or polythene to protect plants across the year. Each hoop includes clips, and optional extensions are available to increase height.

Garden Hoops For Netting With Flexible Cover Options

Use the hoops with bird netting, insect netting, butterfly netting, fleece or polythene. Push each hoop into the soil and secure your chosen cover with the supplied clips. This setup helps protect crops from pests and weather while allowing light and air to reach plants.

Metal Garden Hoops With Strong Aluminium Frames

The 19mm aluminium tube offers strength while remaining easy to handle. Hoops are suitable for open beds and raised beds and can be stabilised further with cloche support bars and anchors in exposed areas. Extensions can be fitted when extra growing height is required.

How To Set Up Garden Hoops For Netting

Mark your row, push hoops into the soil to the recommended depth, then space at about one metre. Drape netting or fleece over the frame, fix with clips along each hoop and secure the base with pegs or soil. Keep the cover taut so rain can shed and access doors can be clipped open for weeding.

Can aluminium garden hoops be used in raised beds?

Yes, the frames suit raised beds and narrow beds. For timber sides, place the legs inside the bed and secure the base of the cover along the edges.

What cover works best for early spring sowings?

Garden fleece is a good choice for early sowings to hold warmth. Switch to insect netting as temperatures rise to maintain airflow while keeping pests away.

How do I store garden hoops and covers between seasons?

Wipe off soil, let covers dry, then coil and store out of sunlight. Keep clips together in a bag so the set is ready for next season.

Are the hoops safe to use around pets and children?

Yes, ensure the cover is secured at the base and clips are fully closed. Avoid leaving loose edges near paths to reduce trip hazards.

Can I extend a tunnel later if crops outgrow it?

Yes, add extra hoops at the same spacing and overlap the cover, or fit height extensions to increase headroom for taller crops.

What maintenance helps on windy sites?

Use closer spacing on exposed runs, add anchors at the base and keep the cover tight. Check clips after strong winds and re-tension if needed.

If extra stability is required (usually in more exposed areas) our cloche support bars and anchors can be purchased separately. If you would like to make the hoops taller extensions are available.
