Designed exclusively for the Maxi Manger Raised Planter, these Hoops and Cover Kits sew up pest and weather problems in two easy steps; firstly, pick the correct quantity of hoops for the length of your manger planter then choose the most suitable covering from butterfly netting, insect mesh or an insect mesh vented, season-lengthening PVC cover - for your herbs, fruit, vegetables or salad patio crops.
The hoops included in the kits are Premier League in quality; made from galvanised 19mm diameter tubular steel, they stand 77cm in height, are rigidly secured inside the Maxi Manger with supplied brackets and screws and give complete support to the fitted mesh covers of your choice. All the net covers are cut to size, have stitched seams and fit the hoops like a glove; you'll need ground pegs for both the butterfly netting and PVC covers whilst the insect mesh cover features an elasticated hem, drawstring and hooks for securing to the Maxi Manger.
Use the Hoops and Cover Kits to turn your already-useful Maxi Manger Raised Planter into an essential piece of patio vegetable growing kit and don't worry if you'd like to mix and match your fitted crop protection covers throughout the growing season - they're all available separately without the hoops!

Product Reviews
Having had my trough planter with PVC cover since 2007, my original PVC cover perished in 2019. I would say this is a good innings for a plastic product, and indeed another cover made from the same material and bought from Harrod Horticulatural at the same time is still going strong nearly 20 years later, though now showing signs of wear. I was therefore quite disappointed that the replacement cover I ordered in 2020 has now perished in the most unsightly way, a mere 5 years later. It started showing signs of brittleness already last summer, and has now crumbled into many tiny fragments - not great when thinking about the microplastics this has added to my vegetable soil, which I will now have to dig out carefully. I will not be replacing this cover with the same type, but will be looking for a more permanent solution. Really disappointed about the much poorer quality than my original product and not great in terms of sustainability.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re very pleased to hear that your original cover served you well for such a long time, and we will ensure your comments about the replacement cover are passed onto the relevant department to investigate further. We completely understand your concerns, particularly regarding durability and sustainability, and we greatly value your input as it helps us to improve our products going forward.
Very professional, easy service. a Very good, well manufactured product.
The Maxi Manger Insect Mesh cover is very well-made & arrived very quickly after ordering. But it is difficult to get on & off the Maxi Manager with the elastication being very tight & I damaged a few plants in the Manger Planter. To stop damage to plants it's a two person job.
