Greenhouse Hoops Grow Tunnel 6 Sets of 8FT Long Garden Hoops, Rust-Free Fiberglass Garden Hoops Frame for Garden Netting Raised Bed Plant Shade Cloth Row Cover, DIY Plant Support Garden Stakes- 36pcs

If you want to put your garden out before the last freeze, these will give you plenty of room to get a head start. Small diameter poles, but very strong. You can assemble the length you need.

Frames are weak and having a hard time keeping them straight in the wind

The hoops are great and easy to work with. I'm only docking a star because the clips are a pain. I would pay more for clips that functioned like normal bag clips instead of perfectly fitted pieces of plastic that don't adjust. They fit perfectly if you only use one layer of fabric cover. I needed to close air gaps for the plant cover and these clips are not it. I suppose clothes pins would work, but I ended up buying bag clips at my local grocery store.

these are amazingly easy to use and do a great job

I just installed this in the garden this week. Within a day of usage one of the bars snapped. They are very thin and light. I’m wondering if this will be strong enough to use for my cold frame set up over winter, I’m thinking….NOT! I used it today with a light shade cloth. It did the job. The durability is low, but the remaining bars stayed, so it gets three stars. After this experience, I don’t know if many will survive until next season. Disappointed. Why did you pick this product vs others?: Affordable. Good reviews. Bendability: Yes, but bars are very thin. It won’t hold up long term. Plant protection: This product doesn’t “protect”. A shade cloth that is NOT included is what protects. Build quality: Poor. It was easy to assemble but snapped within a days use. See picture.

I originally bought this to cover an area where we wanted to lay wildflower seed down, to help keep the squirrels and birds off. Ended up using it to cover a milkweed garden. The Monarchs eat the plants down and I had to have a way of covering them to let the plants grow back and keep the Monarchs from laying more eggs. This worked great. I just open the netting back up once the plants grow back, the Monarchs lay more eggs, and I can cover it back up to keep the wasps away from the caterpillars. I still might get another one for our wildflower seed. I bought some Landscape Staples,120 Pcs Garden Stakes, Circle Top 6-inch Galvanized Steel, Spikes Pins on Amazon to hold the netting down. I put it up six months ago and it seems surprisingly sturdy.

This along with the bird netting (that was sold separately) was a garden saver. We don’t have the best soil where we are so we made raised garden beds last year but all of the wildlife feasted on our veggies despite the fencing we had. This was so easy to put together and not a thing has been touched so far. You can adjust the height as plants grow and the clips are heavy duty and stay and you can water them right through the netting! Great product!

These are in 4x3 metal raised beds for perspective. The height is great and that’s what was looking for. They are easy to work around. Nice flexibility, easy to store. They do feel a little flimsy but we had a decent storm not long after I put them up and they were fine. I’m using these mostly for keeping out squirrels and bugs. I don't think they would hold up well to larger pests or for meaningful season extension to winter in harsher climates but I also haven’t tried - I could be wrong. Time will tell - if they stand up to a full season in Maine I’ll be impressed.
