Arched poles for home gardens
Shaoxing Longfan started in 2021. We make fiberglass products. More people are growing plants at home. They need small hoop houses for seedlings. Metal rods rust. Bamboo strips rot in one year. So we use solid fiberglass bent into an arch. The ends are sharpened. You push them into the soil. A gardening company in Zhejiang used our Greenhouse Support poles with plastic film. They sold 50,000 sets in one year. They said three years without breaking is why customers come back. We have 14 patents. Our annual production is 3000 tons. (1)
Arch shape and UV coating
We use solid fiberglass rods. The diameter is 6 to 8 mm. The length is 1.5 to 4.0 meters. You can choose any length. A heat-setting process creates an arch shape. The arch can be semi-circular or parabolic. You choose the shape. The rebound rate is 96% or higher. This means the pole returns to its shape after bending. The ends are sharpened. You can also order metal ground spikes. The spikes are galvanized steel or stainless steel. The surface has an anti-UV and anti-aging coating. The coating protects the rod from the sun. The rod will not get brittle after 3 years.

The arch shape makes water drain off the plastic film. The film will not pool water. Pooled water can break the film. The anti-UV coating means the rod stays strong in the sun. The sharpened ends go right into the soil. You need no tools. Just push with your hand. For hard soil, use a rubber mallet. The poles are elastic. In snow or wind, they bend to absorb energy. Then they return to their shape. They do not break. The Greenhouse Support poles are very easy to install. (2)
Connect multiple poles for larger area
You can connect many arches together. Use cross rods to link them. The cross rods are 6 mm solid fiberglass. They connect with plastic clips. This forms a tunnel. The tunnel can be any length. You can cover a whole garden bed. You can also use the poles alone for single plants. Just bend one pole into an arch over a tomato plant. Cover it with a small plastic bag. This protects the plant from frost.
