A standard set of croquet hoops comprises 4 white hoops,
1 red hoop, and 1 blue hoop. Generally speaking, there are
two types of croquet hoop: tournament hoops, and garden
hoops. The difference between these two types is not size,
but construction, and ease of use. Tournament hoops are
made to be less flexible (and hence less forgiving), are
are therefore often made from cast iron, and the part that
is driven into the ground is often in the form of a carrot,
which helps to provide greater stability and improved relaibility
of the hoop width. The problem with tournament hoops, especially
for garden use, is that they are much more expensive, and
they are difficult to set up properly, especially if they
are not being used on a perfect croquet lawn. In most gardens,
you will find, unless a proper hoop drill is used, the gap
often becomes too narrow by the time the hoop is driven
in, and the game becomes too difficult. Wire hoops, however,
of the type shown here are far more practical for garden
and family use, and much cheaper!

The regulations for hoops say that
they should have uprights which are 5/8" diameter, a gap
which is between 4" and 3 3/4" wide, and the crown of
the hoop should be 12" above the ground. Our garden hoops
shown here are regulation height and width. While the
most important parts of a croquet set are the mallets
and the balls, the hoops need to be chosen with some care.
These hoops are very easy to set up for family and garden
use and represnent great value for money.
If you compare
these to the Jaques Challenge hoops (which we used to
sell), you will probably, like us, see no difference at
all, other than the fact that these are half the price.
All in all, our Townsend replacement croquet hoops represent
great value for money, and are ideal if you wish to replace
a lost hoop, or improve the look of your croquet lawn
by replacing old and rusty or bent hoops in your existing
set.
