So sick of seeing sloppy work from contractors and so refreshing to see they are still people in the world that are willing to do things right! Thank you!
Thank you for this video had somebody throw a rock through the plastic area the end caps so I am going to try to do what you’re showing to build too it can’t thank you enough you’re making it look a lot easier if I was gonna have to tear the whole damn thing down and start again
This is just what I needed today. Bulding a 76x30 and about to start end walls so this is very helpful. My end walls have a garage door and a personal door, do you have any videos building out those in the end walls? No worries either way, great tutorial, very easy to follow and all good info!
Thanks for the kind words, and for watching. We don’t currently have any videos on the exact set up you have, but we do have a video on framing end walls out of steel, and installing personnel doors; those videos might help for what you have to do.
I would assume most reputable greenhouse suppliers would use end-cap channel that can fit two layers of plastic and the wire. Ours does, and it seems like others would likely agree that this is important.
The structure should not sink, but earth, gravel, etc. could be added along the perimeter to create a better seal / to bring the earth up to the bottom of the polycarbonate. Thanks for watching!
Just found your RU-vid channel. Long story short: I was leasing my land to a hemp grower for CBD. They went bankrupt and I now own 11 greenhouses. They are in pretty bad shape. I've been going through doing "emergency" repairs to keep them operational. I ordered some pipe clamps from you as I am repairing the roll up sides which brings me to my question: Where can I find some plastic repair tape? Thanks in advance. (FYI I also have a RU-vid Channel - But it's mostly for my family)
Wow, that is a wild story! Hopefully you can use the structures for something. Here is a link to our poly repair tape if you still need some: www.tunnelvisionhoops.com/poly-repair-tape-various-sizes/. Best of luck, thanks for sharing your RU-vid Channel (I'll take a peep), and thanks for watching!
Hi Chris, sorry about that and thanks for letting me know; I updated the video description to include Double-H channel and Single-h Channel. Here is a direct link to the polycarb products mentioned: www.tunnelvisionhoops.com/greenhouse-covers/polycarbonate/ Also, thanks for watching!
Manufacturers of the polycarb state that it should NOT be. It is important to have the slots vertically oriented to allow condensation to leave the polycarbonate. I would recommend adding some horizontal framing to provide additional attachment locations for Double H channel. The only time we do polycarb horizontally like you describe is for small strips of it that get installed along the baseboards. Thanks for the comment, and for watching.
I have a hoop house like this but ends are plastic and I have had trouble with that I'm thinking of replacing it with poly any recommendations on where to buy from ?
I don’t think any big box stores carry them so I’d have to recommend your closest Ag supply store OR you can shoot us a list of what you need (and your zip code) and we can get you a quote with a shipping estimate. While we do sell 8mm twin wall polycarbonate, shipping costs can vary due to their size. Here is our contact us page, if you want to send us a message: www.tunnelvisionhoops.com/contact-us/
