FOTMISHU 6Pcs Greenhouse Hoops, 23.6" x 25.6" Garden Hoops Rust-Free Grow Tunnel 4.9ft Long Steel with Plastic Coated Support Hoops Frame for Garden Fabric, Plant Support Garden Stakes

I am using more and more hoops each year. Mostly to support shade cloth. Our Springs are cold and then they flip right into the 80's-90's ... I need a strategy for all of the cool season crops and shade cloth is it. I included a few pictures: - I'm using 3 hoops in the red raised bed - that bed is 24" wide and 4' long - I've got netting on that one to protect the carrots in there. - I'm using I'm using 4 hoops in the white raised bed - that bed is 24" wide and 8' long - I've got shade cloth on that one to keep the lettuce cooler in there and also for protection. The protection part is from insects, rabbits, and deer. The deer think that my raised beds are feeding stations just for them, so that they don't have to bend down as far! ;-) I like that these hoops are one piece - nothing to come apart or break at a joint. The plastic coated metal should make these rust free. I am using these when I set out plants, so I don't need anything very high or wide. As the plants get larger, I remove these and go with a larger set and a larger piece of shade cloth. I am also using these for lettuce, arugula, carrots, etc. in 24" wide raised beds. If you need something bigger, these are not for you! ;-) But if you are looking for something this size, you can't go wrong. I bought a set of 6 and liked them so much that I got another set. And since these come in different sets and sizes - here's what I have: Style: 6PCS M-23.6"x25.6"

I use these to go over plants that line my deck and put bird netting over them to keep the acorns and leaves our of the plants. Have used the same ones for 4 years or so and they will last several more winters. Good Quality, Easy to use & Flexible to shape as needed. Would purchase again

Light weight, need to assemble, but works for protecting bulbs from deer when covered with mesh Used to cover in ground planting box

Was kind of small

The poles are not study and did not fit well together. I did have to use something else to keep the pieces together. Would not purchase again.

When looking for supports for garden fabric, my first thought was - who is goofy enough to pay over $30 for 6 pieces of green coated metal? Well, I did, and am well pleased. These are really sturdy and stable, with tapered ends to make it easy to imbed in soil. They are tall enough so that plants can grow well, under cover, for some time. They should last any number of garden seasons with reasonable care.

Great for your garden

This looked like the perfect solution, especially the ability, if required, to increase the heigh of the arch extenders if required. Great design there sadly the quality issues make it unusable: 1.) The leg connections holes in the extender do appear not to be straight, but some are slightly angled, as not all the legs fit straight into them tightly. This weakens the arch and becomes wobbly at the the extender joint. 2.) The thickness of the pieces are WAY TO THIN and HALLOW alloy steel under the plastic coating and not practicble/reliable for reasonable usage with a cover, windy waether, etc. The arch pieces kink/collasp/bend easily when trying to slightly adjust as do the legs when trying to place one into an extender open that is not straight or into the ground for a stable installation even with only one set of extenders. 3.) The arch by iteslf is too short without adding legs with the extender as there is no space reasonably accessible once placed into the ground for a secure installation. Great idea but cheap quality negate a stable installation. At a minimum, this product absolutely needs thicker and solid material under the plastic covering. Do Not Recommend, a total waste of money.
