Specifications

If two black PVC rods are connected with a joiner, the finished hoop will be 1.8m in length and once bent, will stand approx. 600mm (2ft) high and 1.2m (4ft) wide. 

The complete hoops (made by connecting two black PVC rods together with a hoop joiner) can go as narrow as 75cm wide, and this will increase the height slightly. 

To work out how much netting you require, use our netting/fleece calculator by putting in the height, width and length of your tunnel. The minimum fabric width you need for these hoops is 1.8m wide.  

How To Use

Our black PVC rods connect by using either a straight hoop joiner, tee hoop joiner or cross hoop joiner.  Two rods plus one of the joiners will create a 1.8m length rod which can be bent to create 1 hoop for your tunnel. These will stand approx. 600mm high and the width can go as narrow as 75cm or 1.2m wide.  

The benefit of using the tee and cross joiners is it allows you to have a support bar along the top of your cloche by using one of the black PVC rods.
