Extend Your Season to Make More Money

Portable low tunnels make it easy for farms to protect crops from insects and the elements.

Kwik Hoops are compatible with ALL agricultural fabrics giving you the flexibility to use the system year-round in all conditions.

Grow when others can’t.

Add Clear Poly onto Kwik Hoops to create mini in-the-field greenhouses. The microclimates under the hoops can help speed up crop growth in the cooler times of the year, enabling you to have a product to sell when others can’t.

**Ensure your customers get your crops and insects don’t. ** Protect your crops from insects using insect netting with Kwik Hoops.

Low Tunnels Made for Extreme Conditions

Cheaper tunnels and homemade PVC hoops will fail in high wind conditions.

Kwik Hoops have been tested in some of the windiest locations in New Zealand.

Kwik Hoops are intended for semi-sheltered locations and should be arranged according to local conditions. In well-sheltered areas or when using lightweight, breathable netting, you may space your hoops up to 10 feet apart.

For more exposed locations or if your ground has loose or sandy soils, hoop spacing might be as close as 3 feet.

For extremely windy locations, we recommend removing the fabric from the tunnels during high wind conditions, as no low tunnel can withstand such weather, regardless of the manufacturer. If necessary, the end or mid hoops can be doubled up and riveted together for added strength.

Wind resistance is affected by various factors, including soil conditions and the type of fabric used on the hoops. Pulling fabrics as tight as possible can help the wind go over the hoops. Non-permeable fabrics, such as plastics, cannot withstand extreme winds.

Each hoop pairs with a retaining wire.

The retaining wire quickly clips onto the hoop making fabric fast and easy to secure.

Despite being made for extreme conditions, Kwik Hoops can also be used inside larger tunnels for an added layer of protection.

No sandbags, no problem.

Kwik Hoops make it easy to access your crops without lugging around heavy sandbags.

No cumbersome ropes, wraps, or knots get in the way, making it easy to harvest crops and vent the tunnels.

You can vent the tunnel by sliding the side of the film up or down the sidewalls of the low tunnel system; the retaining wire will hold the covering in place.

Kwik Hoops setup is quick and easy.

One person can set up a full low tunnel in minutes, making them the fastest low tunnel systems on the market.

Kwik Hoops are simple to install, and you can make a tunnel any length to suit your needs, from 10 feet to 100s of feet long.

The hoops should be spaced to suit your local conditions – this might be as close as 3 feet apart for a windy site or farms with loose soils. They may be spaced as much as 10 feet apart or more for more protected sites.

1. Push each leg of the hoop into the ground down to the depth of the pre-punched hole.
2. Angle the end hoops slightly outward – approximately 15 degrees.
3. Place your covering over the hoops and pull it tight end-to-end. You can bury the ends of the covering or tie them off around a stake to hold taught.
4. Install the retaining wire over the fabric, securing it by clipping it to the hoop.

A Completely Portable Tool

Unlike caterpillar tunnels which aren’t easy to move. Kwik Hoops can easily be moved around the farm as needed.

They are perfect in the field or can be used inside tunnels to add an extra layer of crop protection.

Finally, a complete system allowing you to protect crops where you need it, when you need it.

Recommended Kwik Hoop Spacing:

Generally, the windier the location, the closer the hoops need to be spaced.

In windy locations, hoops should be spaced 3 feet apart, requiring 34 hoops per 100-foot bed.

In normal conditions, hoops can be spaced as far apart as 10 feet requiring 11 hoops per 100-foot bed.

Space hoops closer in loose or sandy soils or if using a fabric (like plastic) that is impermeable to the wind.
