Here are two ways to make hoop houses which are inexpensive and very
effective: http://www.freeplants.com/how-to-build-a-hoop-house.htm http://users.ntplx.net/~davesas/ghouse.htm If you build them low-to-the-ground (3-4 ft high at midline), they retain a lot of ground heat and do a nice job of keeping hardy plants growing. I have versions of each type. The PVC pipe hoop house is a little more work to erect to easier to manage in the long run since you can get at the plants without having to right your way through the smallish opening of the concrete reinforcing mesh. I anchored the PVC pipe to the 2 x 4 frame using hardware that is intended to securing piping in place--wish I knew the name of it. |
