I'm leaning towards a cattle panel hoop structure instead of poles. We've used cattle panel hoop houses for critter houses and they've handled 80mph straight-line winds plus the usual 40mph winds/gusts coming from all directions at all times. The extra support that 4' spaced poles seems to make a difference.
Yep! Cedar, Cyprus, Teak and Redwood have similar properties that naturally resist infestation by bugs, including termites (which probably make it OK to put the wood in direct contact with the soil, usually a no-no). Also refuses to rot, mold, mildew etc. Mother Nature is a wonderful thing! 😊 That said, teak is not the best in sun, as it kind of dries out and falls apart at the seams, as it were. (Witness the beautiful teakwood patio furniture sold at my favorite now-defunct two-name "outdoor living" store... it was known to fall apart if not treated for sun exposure. Who wants to do maintenence on a hoop house? Not Me!)
Nice build but you didn't elaborate very much on the wiggle wire and that tract that you were placing it into. I get the wire but the tract , where did that come from?
Need more video on the application of the "Wiggle Wire"!! I couldn't tell what was happening from the video. Not terribly familiar with wiggle wire... what's its original use?
New to your channel! I really like your tunnel / greenhouse! I need a high tunnel to grow just tomatoes. Where I would put it that is the big question? I need a bigger farm. Have a blessed day! Wendy🙏🏻🇺🇸
On a walk to the shops, had noticed more people then I knew had been growing their own food in one way or another. Had taken a short look years ago. Now the possibility of this becoming a reality, I am on the hunt for you guessed it Green house videos, will start on the design phase, giving the beds and composting time to rot (plenty to do).
I am not even sure for this one. It was a few years ago at this point so it is probably not even comparable sadly ahah But the pole bender was the biggest investment, followed by the plastic. And then the poles are 10-20 I believe depending on what you want to do. But this is what I would recommended if you are trying to build the least expensive greenhouse possible.
Hi there, sorry for taking so long to see this. This was a few years ago for us, so prices have changed dramatically. But depending on size I would say you could build a pretty large one for a few hundred dollars. The bender and plastic is a big expense. But once you have a bender you can scale up the size for not too much more.
Probably if you keep one side of the poles poles unbent. I'm not good enough at math to be able to figure out where the arch would be bent but you could probably dig it out.
The poles are from Home Depot. And you attach the c channels on the front and back hoops, pull the plastic over the channels and snap the wiggle wire into the channels and it holds the plastic in place. I wish I had better footage of the wiggle wire.
