Designed to marry unprecedented strength with increased height, you'll find our tubular steel Crop Protection Hoops a versatile solution to many of your vegetable growing problems - just cover with your choice of material and your crops will flourish in splendid safety.

With three size options available, you can use the hoops in both raised beds and open soil - simply push straight into the bed or support with our 45cm long heavy-duty steel ground anchors (available separately). Anchors are supplied in sets of 2 (for a single hoop), 6 (for 3 hoops) and 12 (for 6 hoops) and two sizes exist; one to fit the Small Hoops and the other for the Medium and Large versions.

Enjoy savings up to £12 with our Extra Value Hoop Packs and Extra Value Anchor Packs - all sizes of hoops are available in sets of 3 and 6, with anchors sold in pairs, 6 packs and packs of 12.

Transform your vegetable-laden raised beds into an efficient mini-greenhouse with the minimum of effort, prolong your growing season and even ventilate summer crops without compromising on crop protection with our Fitted Hoops and Mesh Vented PVC Covers double act - one that garden pests certainly won't find amusing!

The 25mm diameter x 110cm high galvanised hoops fit securely inside the raised bed with supplied brackets and screws and are available in three size options - 1.2m x 1.2m (4ft x 4ft - 2 hoops), 1.2m x 1.8m (4ft x 6ft - also 2 hoops) and 1.2m x 2.8m (4ft x 8ft - 3 hoops) - and support the UV stabilised extra thick, heavy-duty PVC covers, complete with full-width insect-mesh ventilation for the summer months to keep pests out and let rain in.

The clear PVC traps heat and shields plants from the elements to extend the growing season and access couldn't be simpler thanks to the large-zipped, dual-skinned PVC/insect mesh panels that roll up and down on both sides. But don't let your raised beds have all the fun; although designed for use in our beds, the Fitted Hoops and Mesh Vented PVC Covers are equally at home in open ground.

The Fitted Hoops are available now but the Mesh Vented PVC Covers will not be in stock until late March 2010.

Save time and effort protecting your crops with the easily assembled Build-a-Ball Kits and our exclusive Fitted Fine Insect Mesh Covers where the easy access velcro seams provide the ultimate in crop protection. These Build-a-Ball kits are designed especially to fit inside our raised beds so if you're planning to erect your framework in open ground, select from the cage kits or individual components.

Both the kits and covers on this page are available separately but you can save up to £7 if you purchase both at the same time. We've also introduced a Build-a-Ball and Fitted Mesh Cover combo specifically designed for use with our new Corner Raised Beds; so whatever your shape, there's no excuse for not covering up!

This elegant Ornamental Pyramid Cold Frame is ideal for protecting your early and late season crops; will give more exotic summer fruit and vegetables a heat boost and the powder coated aluminium framework will give many years of corrosion-free service. Available in three sizes and specially designed and manufactured in-house to fit our timber raised beds, the frame (supplied with ground pegs) can also placed directly onto the ground.

Not so pleased to see this very attractive addition to the garden will be slugs, snails and birds and the option of introducing optional ultra-fine insect mesh roof panels (4 for the smallest frame and a maximum of 2 for the medium and large) will put paid to aphid raids as well. The twin-walled polycarbonate side glazing panels pose no threat to children and pets, keep plants well insulated and form an effective barrier to hail and frost. Triangular roof panels are easily removed from the Ornamental Pyramid Cold Frame for hassle-free access and ventilation.

With raised bed vegetable gardening enjoying a boom in recent years and patios and other paved garden areas now often occupied by raised beds and planters, we've decided to develop and introduce a quality liner to help protect your hardstanding areas. We'd thoroughly recommend you use one of our thick, one piece, non-woven, polypropylene fabric liners when growing in raised beds on the patio; the material will help retain water, prevent the compost and soil from running out onto the hard surface - possibly causing staining - and will also help prevent weeds from growing through from beneath, a further reason for using a liner if your bed is positioned on soil or turf. Our liners - fitted with reinforced hand loops at each corner to aid emptying - are available in 6 different dimensions and fit our Allotment, Standard and Superior Timber Raised Beds up to 1.8m x 2.4m (6ft x 8ft) in size. They will also fit single and two tier versions of the Allotment and Standard beds (15cm and 30cm/6" and 12") and double tier Superior beds (40cm/16"), and can also be folded to efficiently line one tier (20cm/8") Superior Beds too.

Available from late March 2010

There are very few drawbacks to installing raised beds in your vegetable garden, but one is the rate the soil loses essential water - and that's why we've introduced this Raised Bed Irrigation Kit. Fed by mains water and a standard hosepipe (not included), water is distributed by a highly flexible 15m long irrigation line fitted with self cleaning drip points at 30cm intervals. A water pressure unit and all necessary fixings are included.

Harvested from a sustainable source, they are available in two lengths (90 and 120cm), measure 20cm in height and help to prevent small garden animals, such as hedgehogs, from trampling over your plants and digging up the border soil - the longer bordrs can also be used for screening a raised bed. Secured with 28cm deep spikes and easily removed for mowing and border maintenance.

These Plastic Hoop Clips are the simple but effective way to secure netting to both our medium and large crop protection hoops. No more fiddling with ties and making holes in your netting as the clips fit tightly over both the net and hoop, holding the material secure in strong winds and other typically British weather conditions.
