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 bought these as an experiment in my garden using insect netting to protect my fall plantings. These hoops are very sturdy and extremely easy to assemble. I have several 8' x 2' planters and only need 4 hoops per planter. I will definitely get more of these, just have to determine how many sets I'll need.

This product seems much more durable than other products that I looked at. It stands up a little taller than others as well. Just added it to the planter boxes and it looks nice. Assembly was straight forward and took minutes

I used these as supports to cover my strawberry bed with insect/bird netting. They were great for that, but probably too short for most plants.

These are very good. I have also purchased the more flexible fiberglass hoops which I also love but these are definitely higher quality. They look like they should hold up better than the other ones. They are not as flexible. Because I wanted wider hoops I had to waist several pieces because the predetermined shapes are less flexible for design. To get the most out of them you must use them as the shape and sized suggested.

These were easy to put together and they seemed strong and stable. I was able to spread a few to make a taller and wider arch for a stout blackberry bush that I’m trying to keep birds away from. I was surprised, actually, by how easy it was to shape them. I’m not sure I’ll ever been able to get the two I widened back to their original arch, but I needed the height and distance, so I’ll deal with that when I come to it. After being able to bend it so easily, I was a little worried about how well the arches would support the netting across my strawberry plants, but I’ve had them up for almost two weeks and so far, the netting tunnel is as tight as I originally hung it, despite the rainstorms and my dogwood dropping leaves on to them, so they appear to be holding their required shape. Additionally, because of the same blackberry bush, I needed more height, so I decided to try to attach two of my 11mm diameter, 4ft tall, plastic stakes to the hoop and to my surprise, they actually fit! I had to use the generic poll connectors, not the ones that came here, but it felt almost as secure, so for a “hack”, it’s pretty great. I was all set to give them a solid 5/5, with the caveat of the easy bending that’s as much as positive as a potential negative, until I had to move one, and this is where it lost the two stars.I took one of them out of the ground and I was about to just stick it in it’s new place when I thought to check the connector. It was screwed on tight, but I was curious, so I unscrewed it, and I’m so glad I did because I found rust. See the picture attached. Just a little, admittedly, but it had been outside for only slightly less than two weeks! Sure, we’ve had a lot of rain these last couple of weeks, but I was still expecting the seal to be strong enough to stop any leakage to the metal core, especially because it was definitely sealed as tight as I could do it. I checked a few more and of the eight connectors (I bought two packs) I checked at random, four of them, not including the first one, showed signs of the rust! As you can see in the other attached picture, I’m using them as intended, with one arch to two legs, so there’s nothing I can see to explain the rust. I didn’t check the arches and connectors attached to my other, 4ft stakes because I didn’t want to have to deal with all the netting and setup again, so I don’t know if that rusted too, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I saw some in there too. I’d return them, but honestly, I don’t want to take them all, re-curve the two I had to straighten, and shove them back in the two boxes. They’re working and they’re covered in plastic anyway. When I need to use them for wintering, which was the biggest reason I chose these over some of the others, I expect them to be covered with a plastic tarp anyway. I’ve made a note to be sure to use some rust-off when I pull them out at the end of the summer and reset them of my winter plants in the fall. Hopefully that’ll slow the deterioration enough to last a few seasons.TLDR: strong enough and stable, but be aware that they may rust at the connectors faster than expected.

What started off with an experiment with a new grow light for seedlings turned into the need for a row cover here in rather chilly Vermont. The Amazon order for the garden hoops came in within a few days but was missing just one tiny part. Rather than send it back to Amazon, I emailed Fotmishu directly and they immediately responded - Excellent service! I found the system went together quite easily (10 minutes). Would definitely recommend. Note the fabric row cover was from a different source.

Very nice quality. Had to return because it isn’t wide enough

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.

Very sturdy and strong. Good quality for the money. Got them to hold burlap over my hedges, I think you will do the job.

Ordered 2 packages and was sad to see one package arrived quite bent. Tried bending back into place but it no longer has the same width as the rest and wont work for my garden bed.

Utilizzato con rete metallica leggera per realizzare un passaggio obbligato alle galline, prodotto comodo e robusto.

These are great! Easy to set up. Fairly thin and light, but they stick in the ground and seem up to the job for netting and thin plastic. For reference, the beds are 80cm wide.

Die Bögen sind sehr praktisch, Folientunnel, Vlies als Schutz gegen Insekten oder Kälte flexibel und schnell überall installiert. Sind robust und ich bin sehr zufrieden damit.
