from £4.95

Manufactured from galvanised steel tubing, the 50cm and 80cm long hoop extension poles take supporting the hoop well and truly in their stride and will also help anchor the existing hoop once inserted the recommended 30cm into the soil.
Used in conjunction with our range of crop protection hoops, the hoop extension kits can give a growing ceiling of 1.07m (with the Extra Small hoops) up to a sky scraping 1.54m (Large and Extra Large). |

Freestanding Hoop and Fitted Cover Kits |
 |
from £49.95
|
Our Freestanding Hoop and Fitted Cover Kits sound to good to be true - not only do they provide valuable fruit and vegetable crops with almost 3m² of growing space, offer winter protection from the weather and form a summer barrier to butterflies and other pest-munching insects but they are fully portable too; it doesn't get much better than that in the vegetable garden!
The kits are available in three sizes (1.2m x 1.2m, 1.2m x 1.8m and 1.2m x 2.4m) and the framework behind the success of the hoop and cover kit consists of 1.04m high, 19mm diameter galvanised tubluar steel hoops and a top support bar to keep netting taut, and the hoops are housed in a chunky, high pressure treated timber ground frame which makes relocating the frame a doddle.Protection comes in the form of the two covers; an extra thick, UV stabilised mesh vented PVC cover takes care of early and late season weather conditions and the myriad of ventilation options combined with the fine insect mesh inner screens allows plants to stay cool and pest free throughout the summer too. Fruiting crops and brassicas wil enjoy the butterfly/caterpillar-free environment afforded by the butterfly net cover - and it's worth reiterating that both covers are fitted and slip over the hoop framework like a glove! |

Manufactured from pressure treated 3.5cm (1½") thick timber, the cold frame will easily outlive the 3 year guarantee and the 4mm thick twin wall polycarabonate glazing in the adjustable roof - closed, ajar and fully open - allows plenty of light to reach the hardening off plants inside and with a raft of other features - including two lid support arms, rain water drainage holes and aluminium strengthening plates and fixings - this cold frame won't let you or your plants down!

Inflatable Greenhouse (Medium) |
 |
£245.00
|
Imagine how incredibly useful an Inflatable Greenhouse would be in the garden or on the patio; ideal for plant propagation and raising seedlings, you could simply pump up the structure when required, move it around your garden as desired and deflate and store during the summer!
Amazing but true - the Inflatable Greenhouse offers you all the flexibility and growing freedom a permanent garden greenhouse does at a fraction of the cost and effort, and you can change your mind with regards its location at any time. Ideal for use as an overflow growing area during busy times, the base of this pump-up version (the powerful electric pump included will inflate it in roughly 10 minutes) can be unzipped to turn the structure into a walk-in cold frame or cloche - you'll never want to let it down! The strength and quality of these structures can be gauged by the material used in construction - it's the same UV resistant PVC film used in making white water rafts - and the greenhouse boasts a double layer, adding to its already excellent insulation properties. There's no chance of heat loss from the detachable floor either as six PU foam insulation sheets are inserted into the hard wearing nylon weave base and chunky, heavy duty zippers around the base and door keep plants inside free from all drafts - a closeable vent helps regulate the temperature and humidity when required. |
