Used this approach for many years. suggestions. 1) The plastic will need to be removed in advance of the summer heat. Tie the plastic down instead of stapling it so that the plastic can be reused in fall or spring. 2) Critters are persistent. Use the same frame for bird netting. After draping the bird net, wrap the perimeter with wire fence. (bird net keeps birds out, but critters such as rabbits and chipmunks chew through.)

I haven't wrapped my netting with wire fence yet, you are so very right.

Why bother putting in tack strips with cheap plastic that won't last 1 winter?

@jeremyhenderson163 5 лет назад

As one who used this video a few years ago, there is a lot of other things that should be (common sense) included. FOR INSTANCE: 1) With not much wind-blow those staples are not going to hold and pull loose (leaving holes in the plastic), one should consider using ferring strips to better secure the plastic to the skeleton. 2) When cutting the plastic for any doors/windows/etc. don't cut it even with the edges , instead cut so that the plastic covers the door/window/etc at least the with of the lumber used to frame the door/window/etc. so that the excess plastic can be (better) secured to the framing lumber (this will help to keep the edges of plastic from giving under wind forces.). and MOST IMPORTANTLY 3) make sure your hoophouse is positioned to collect the most WINTER SUN, as the winter will be the time you'll need the most solar heat.

@pique-nique 3 года назад

PVC pipe and plastic next to each other cause a chemical reaction that will create weak points in the plastic. The plastic will then tear and even disintegrate where it is touching the PVC. To avoid this, the PVC pipes must be wrapped with strips of cloth or foam insulation for pipes. I found that a better solution is to use 5’ x 16’ or 20’ cattle panels, 2, 3, or 4 of those with 6 ml plastic or even a reinforced clear tarp. It’s more expensive but lasts year after year. The cattle panels last what seems like forever and the plastic lasts 3 or 4 years. And the structure doesn’t budge in the wind. PVC will sway in the wind, especially if the hoops aren’t fastened together with crossbar pipes, and this will add to the breakdown of the plastic.

@stevefromthegarden1135 2 года назад

This was true up until 2003 when CCA was banned as a wood preservative. Today's pressure treated lumber uses ACQ which is non-toxic and safe to use for raised bed gardens, according to the EPA. But I get it if you (or anyone) would prefer to use untreated lumber - they just have to recognize that eventually the wood will rot and will need to be replaced.

I use the rebar also, I've had some in the ground for 2 decades, haven't had an issue yet. Also, the doors seemed like an awful lot of time , effort and cash, when just using plastic over the whole thing works just as well. I attach a 1x3 to the edge of the plastic, and then pull it up or down when it gets to hot in the summer. In Massachusetts or Maine (I have places in both) even the summer gets to hot for permanent hoop house. better to be able to use it spring and fall, then take off for July and August.

The pvc pipe will react with the plastic film, to solve this you simply need to paint your pvc with a base coat.

Question, why did you not center the frame over the bed? He has to have really long arms to reach 4 ft into the garden especially when they grow.

I've seen lots of greenhouses built this way. In every one a chemical reaction between the sheet and pvc dissolved the sheet where the two meet.

@loufarrocco7023 3 года назад

So what's the solution to this? Does this happen with UV rated plastic? Appears they did NOT use UV rated plastic in the video.

@toocool36322 3 года назад

@@loufarrocco7023 if u want a greenhouse that will last, buy some chain link fence top rail and have them bent at a muffler shop. Cover with uv rated plastic.

Looks good, but you shouldn't staple the plastic to the 2x4, it'll rip in light wind. Instead of using 2x4s use two 1x4s, sandwich the plastic in between them and screw them together. Also, he used pressure treated wood on that raised bed. The chemicals from the treated wood is going to leach into the soil and contaminate his vegetables. Better to use some kind of stone or cinder block. I mean, they have the right idea if the wood is going to be in contact with the ground. But pressure treated shouldn't be used on a raised bed that grows things you're going to eat. Otherwise it's okay. '

@forestrebock3545 5 лет назад

Take a look at the new method of creating pressure treated wood after 2003, you may be delightfully surprised.

@Dawt_Calm 5 лет назад

@@forestrebock3545 For decades it was argued that the arsenic in pressure treated wood was harmless. So now there are alternatives to arsenic and again it's claimed they're harmless. The question is, do you trust those in the industry or is a little skepticism warranted? As for myself I prefer to use stone. To each their own.
