This is a very good video. Are you still using this hoop house? One of the best I've seen.
-
What type of wood?
How long to rot?

nice vid microfarmer. We found a 30 x 50 commercial high tunnel on craigslist. we love it, but we're going to need more cover and these vids have given us some ideas - thanks!

Good, clear explanation.

We have the ribs up but I noticed something that you might want to mention. If you tighten the bolts too tight when installing the hip boards, the pipe will start to flatten, creating weak points. I guess I just get too over-zealous with the ratchet! LOL

I was watching your video again and noticed the ridgepole is extended beyond the end rib. How are you going to prevent it from piercing the poly?

Well, I've ordered the wood so I guess I'm committed to building mine! I pick it up from the Amish this weekend. After that, I order the pipe. Thanks a lot, you've made a greenhouse a reality for me!

Glad to see you're on your way! Best of luck setting it up. It's a lot of work but well worth it.

Once I finished bracing the end walls (not shown) I cut the excess off flush.

Thanks for your comment. As soon as the weather breaks a bit I'll have a follow-up video.

I have seen many hoop houses but yours is the best instructional so far. So, how has it held up under snow? Will you do a follow up?

Appreciate the compliment! Decided not to put a new top on until the weather breaks. Seemed like it was snowing almost daily there for a while. Hope I'll get the new skin on within the month and of course will have the video cam rolling when I do.
