Designed and manufactured by us in the UK, the hoops are ideal for creating cloches, small poly tunnels and giving plenty of growing height (over 1m in the case of the larger hoops). Available in five sizes which will span raised beds or plant rows as small as 48cm/19" wide right up to 168cm/66".
We also offer mounting brackets (available separately) to use the hoops in raised beds above the soil or simply push the hoop straight into the ground. If additional and rigid support is required (it might be windy at the allotment), turn to our heavy-duty steel ground anchors (available separately). Anchors are supplied in sets of 2 (for a single hoop), 6 (for 3 hoops) and 12 (for 6 hoops).
Our new Hoop Linking Rods have been designed to add extra rigidity, clipping easily to the hoops and also to add additional support for netting when creating a cloche tunnel.

Product Reviews
Customer services were very helpful when I asked for advice regarding the product. They came very quickly, once ordered, and I am delighted with the hoops. They are strong and sturdy, and should last a long time!
Great sturdy items, you pay more for these hoops, brackets and bars but will last a lifetime, so well worth paying that bit extra.

What The Press Say
Kitchen Garden - December 201201/12/2012
Tried & Tested - Cloches
This is a good system for covering a large area. There is flexibility in the size of the cloche through positioning of the hoops. Hoops come in a range of sizes and you can buy extensions to raise the hoops up higher. Insect netting comes in different lengths to suit your needs. The pegs do tend to put holes in the netting but clips and pegs keep the cloche firmly in place.
