Aluminium hoop support bars are designed to add extra strength and stability to garden tunnels. Perfect for use with fleece or netting, these bars prevent sagging and help maintain the structure’s shape—especially in windy or exposed areas.
Hoop Support Bars For Garden Tunnels
These support bars connect across the tops of aluminium hoops to reinforce your tunnel or cloche setup. Ideal for raised beds, vegetable gardens, and allotments.
How To Use Aluminium Hoop Support Bars
Each bar includes two push-fit connectors. Simply press each connector onto a hoop, linking one hoop to the next. This stabilises the structure and helps resist bending or movement.
Quick Setup
No tools needed — just push the connectors onto the hoops. The bars can be removed just as easily for off-season storage.
Aluminium Hoop Support Bar Sizes
Choose from two bar lengths based on your setup:
- 900mm — for compact tunnels or small beds
- 1.2m — for wider frames and larger cloches
Garden Tunnel Accessories And Extras
You can also buy extra hoop connectors separately if you're expanding or customizing your tunnel system.
