I really appreciate the concept of "good enough". I feel like people have forgotten about that. Not everything has to be the best of its kind, it's really quite sufficient if it just gets the job done in a practical way. This is one of those simple, practical things that just gives me a sense of satisfaction to see.

Just a tip for sealing the plastic, you can use a hair straightener to weld it together. Cover the plastic with a sheet of baking parchment (so you don't melt it to the hair straightener) and press the plastic together with the tongs. Takes a bit of time and work but once you're done the resulting seam is stronger than the surrounding plastic.

Please take it one step further...obtain and read Hulda Clark's book The Cure for All Cancers, and implement all the therapies therein, for him, his parents, yourself and even four-legged members of your household. As a natural healer for 30 years, I have now seen enough evidence to support her theories 100%. God helps those who help themselves. Be sure it does not come back.

@keralee 3 года назад

I would add to the above that there is considerable indirect evidence that veterinary meds to deworm dogs and even horses can work very well for humans as cancer meds. It will take some serious digging on your part to find and connect all the dots, they are buried, but they exist. Fenbendazole is a great starting point but there are others. Praziquantel might be even better. But first educate yourself thoroughly.

This design is a '' cattle panel'' greenhouse. If you build the long sides 2 feet tall out of heat treated 2 x 4's it will be 10 feet wide and 7 foot 2 inches tall. put 55 gallon drums along the N. side and fill them 75% with water for passive solar. run shelves along the top of the barrels to put plant starts on. Use 2 x 4's to frame in the ends and run a ridge beam at the peak from one end to the other for winter snow load, this will help.

@rascalwind 3 года назад

Something you might consider is putting the hose on the inside of the plastic near the cattle panel. This would keep the glue on the tape from going bad quickly and it would also keep water from pooling on the plastic. You could reverse your roll process for the plastic and the water would shed straight off.

@Not_So_Weird_in_Austin 10 месяцев назад

For a home small hoop house or diy low tunnel I use EMT conduit and t posts to hold down frost cloth covering my low tunnels. I am looking at 2 cattle panels for an over winter hoop house that doubles as a tomatoe, cucumber, bean trellis in summer

@five1steph 3 года назад

I used a technique similar to this on the West Coast of South Africa - where the ocean winds are hurricane-like. This technique withstood everything nqture threw at it. I will add that I left the sides open so open for any passing breeze because it can get quite hot. I would only have the "curves" facing where the ocean winds and inland winds come from - and it would effortlessly deflect wind with its roundness. Instead of using hose of the top, I placed another fence, like a "fence sandwich" with 200 micron polyfilm in the middle. Works like a charm.

@americaforamericans4768 3 года назад

been doing this for years with my raised garden beds, do not use plastic I use shadecloth instead..........leave open on the sides as each panel is over it's own raised bed. Place the hoop going east to west to provide for all day shade. I use T-posts for securing the panel to the ground, driving 4 posts, one in each corner and wire up the panel as high as I can on the post, very stable.

@hermit1620 3 года назад

I use hog wire that loops that allows you to bolt the panels together. Also on one side of the hoop house I run the panels horizontally and bolt panels vertically to the top of the horizontal side. This gives me an extra 4ft so I can make my hoop taller and wider. To hold down the plastic I use coated tie wire. I drive a 2ft peice of rebar with a loop on one end every 3ft along both sides, then tie the wire through the loop in the rebar running the wire over the top and tighten and tie to the other side. You can pull the plastic up in the summer at the bottom and the wire will hold it in place.

@mw8385 3 года назад

Just saw your video.. loved it thank you. I noticed you rolled the plastic up around the hose. It might be a bit more trouble; but if you roll the plastic down around the hose (the other way), you won't get water, snow, ice accumulation on top the hose. The roll part will be inside instead of outside.

@linoycohen2223 3 года назад

My friend I have a cheap and reusable solution for you both for the door way and to hold the sides down. Get a large wholesale Velcro roll, you can by that cause the open gap in the winter and keep it shut completely, and you can also use Velcro on the wood and the other side of the Velcro on the Plastic and you can reuse it next year just put in on. Simple easy and will hold it down from the wind.

@lliefveld 3 года назад

Lesson learned about hoop house: I had seen many, many other videos from other people where a hoop house stood up to snow on it. We had a 3-day storm, dumped about 10 inches of snow, and the weight of the snow caused the 'crest' of the hoop house to droop all the way to the ground, creating an 'inverted' hoop house. By the time we realized it (about a week after the storm), the cattle panel was well molded into that shape. So, if you live in an area which might get surprise storms, you'll need to reinforce the center.

@jakes3546 3 года назад

That's a great reminder and good advice for a 4 season greenhouse. In this case I believe he is using it as a seasonal greenhouse. Removing the plastic before winter and putting it back on in early spring after the threat of heavy snow has passed.

@marcusdismas 3 года назад

i think i'd have a greater concern about IVE storms, vs snow. also, vermin would definitely be a nuisance in that not only would they seek against whatever it was i had growing, but also simply to get out of the cold & wet. ...but there are things to do, which have not been covered here.

@justinw1765 2 года назад

A tip for winter use to increase and regulate warmth over longer periods of time: In the middle of your hoop house, pile a few rows (you want it a least 3x3 feet or so) of cinder blocks up say 4 feet or so high. As you stack them, fill up the holes/spaces with sand or dry dirt. The more fine the material the better (less air space between each of the particles and more surface area contact between the solids), but it is not super critical either way. You can also use solid blocks and just create an open cube structure to pour sand or dirt in the middle--this is a bit better because you have less air space and more solid material in contact with each other. Then paint the outside of this cinder block (or other) structure with a black color. The blacker/darker the better. Make sure the paint is heat and UV resistant type. You now have a thermal mass energy collector and radiator. What this will do, is gradually warm up during the day and collect a lot of heat energy and as the Sun goes down and it starts to get colder out, it will radiate the heat back out, thus regulating the temperature especially over night. It would be better if it was made out of a completely solid and non porous material, but that would be both much heavier, much harder to transport, and probably much more expensive (unless you have a giant rock or small boulder in your yard and can move it around easily, but good luck getting it in the hoop house if it is already built). In the the summer, cover this with a very white or reflective material of some kind. White fabric, painted white cardboard, polished aluminum, mylar space blankets, etc. Believe it not, this will help to keep things a bit cooler in there until around noon to 2pm or so. Cause that same thermal mass has lost energy overnight getting cool, and then it takes longer to warm up. By the end of the day, it will start getting warm and then keep part of the night warmer in there, until it fully loses all the heat energy and equalizes with the ambient temps. In this case, it acts more like a regulator (as long as it is completely covered with something very white).

Two end door frames also 4x4s will give more support. The frame 10x12 (for now) is built. I'll build the rest this year, add on more next year. I live in Northern Idaho. Hope it can take the snow load, we'll find out.

@andycordy5190 3 года назад

Wonderful stuff. Thank you. I appreciate how still the air is there from the way that two people could roll out the polytunnel plastic sheeting. There would maybe be two or three days in a whole year when such conditions prevail here and no knowing when that would be. I figure there's a hybrid version of this structure whereby a skin of horticultural fleece can be used to shelter and warm the space in the cold season, then removed to use the trellis idea later on.
