I thought we all needed a break from the "Cyber Monday" ads - so I decided to show you the hoop house that we just built in our backyard.
If you recall - last year we bought a greenhouse kit that ended in disaster (see picture below) - to read about that sad event click on the link below:
Harbor Freight Greenhouse Warning
For this Hoop House we used some wood, metal brackets, pvc pipes, duct tape & some plastic.
It won't win any contests for looks but hopefully it will withstand our winter winds and serve it's purpose of growing greens during the off season.
ENJOY!

Great idea the hoop house. How did you hold the pvc pipe to the boards? I was thinking of making a small one for the spinach and broccoli. Thanks Ellen from Georgia
ReplyDeleteWe used metal brackets - nailed them to the inside of the boards. Insert one side of the pipe - bend the pipe & then insert into the bracket on the other side of the hoop house base. I hope that helps!
DeleteThanks!
Thanks so much everyone!
ReplyDeleteI totally love this idea! Thank you for sharing at All my Bloggy Friends. I can't wait to see what you share this week.
