36Pcs Garden Hoops for Raised Beds,6 Sets of 8FT Long Greenhouse Hoops Grow Tunnel, Fiberglass Support Hoops Frame for Fabric Netting,DIY Plant Support Garden Stakes for Row Cover

We expanded our raised beds from 2 to 12 this spring and I needed a hoop system for them. Bought these, and at first glance thought they would never do the job, that they'd be too flimsy. To my surprise and infinite satisfaction, they work wonderfully and are easy to assemble. Once together and in place, they perform perfectly. I covered all the beds with bird netting. The hoops support it dependably and keep the bunnies and other critters out while allowing air, sun, and rain in. This system is a keeper!

This worked well for my wider raised garden beds but needed some finagling for my thinner ones. Had an issue with one set being bent to much and snapped part of a pole but that was my fault for not angling correctly.

I just installed some of these over my raised beds, decided to put them in lengthwise ( 2 rows of 7 pieces) instead of width wise, so I can access the beds easily. If that doesn’t work I will change them around and add another set of hoops. They are very easy to put together and I had no trouble bending them. I’m hoping with the netting I purchased the combination will work. Photos may be added after planting.

Initially, I thought these were awesome. But when the temps got into the 80s, these started to snap like twigs (see photo showing snapped hoop). I went out and replaced all the snapped ones and the next day, more snapped. Some of them were ones I had just replaced the day before! So far I’ve had to replace 22 of them. Yes, 22!! That’s insane. I got these hoops to support lightweight shade cloth to protect my vegetables during streaks of hot weather, so it’s kind of ironic that they snap in hot weather. I’m going to have to look for a new solution. Don’t waste your money on these if temps in your area get into the 80s or hotter.

Easy to put together and can adjust height by using more or less sticks. I use it for bug netting over a 4ftx6ft in ground garden space.

I bought this specifically for my strawberry garden to keep the birds from eating the fruit once they started producing. I only used 4 rods for a 2 foot width and 2 foot height. Worked perfectly with the netting! Clips fit tight on the rods.

I waited a few weeks to fairly evaluate this product. I really wanted it to work but sadly the fiberglass rods are poor quality and snap after a few days. I followed the instructions and put 4 of them together to form my hoop. A couple broke by the next day. So, I spread the base further apart to relieve some of the stresses thinking perhaps I had done it wrong. That made them last a few days long but eventually some of them snapped too. So I added one rod to make them 5 rods in length and spaced them at the base even wider than when I had only 4 together but they too began to snap. I am confident that none of them will last this season. It’s a great idea with so much potential but quality is not adequate for the product to perform its function. I will not purchase this brand again.

The thing about hoop covers is - you find yourself moving them a lot. You have to take them off to weed, and harvest, clean things out... So you want one that's sturdy, but still flexible so you can get in and out of it fairly easily. These are great for that! You can also put them together lots of ways - they're really versitile to have in your garden box. Highly recommended.

Great product. Easy to assemble. Hoops are sturdy and can be taken apart and stored for winter and the clips are easy to use and haven't broken after a season of use. The netting has kept the wasps off my strawberries whereas my neighbours couldn't get near their strawberries because of the wasps. Plan to cover more beds next year as it kept the deer and other animals from eating my plants, however, the pesky chipmunk did chew a hole (the first night) but stayed away after that. After several wind storms, the netting didn't tear and the hoops stayed in place (Hubby secured them to our raised garden bed for more sturdiness.) Highly recommend and will buy again.

Easy to put together for different lengths. A little bit flexible for movement in wind which is good. Came with clips for holding netting on.
