"Working on some cheap hoop house ideas"
Made my first one this spring when my porch was overrun with seedlings
getting leggy & night time temps were still in the 40's. Stopped by Home
Depot to make sure I had the right name for the two materials needed. First
is CPVC pipe which is more flexible than PVC/ 1/2" X 10' sections are $1.74
each. Second is Clear Poly Sheeting in either 6 MIL or 4 MIL thickness in 10
foot wide by the length you need, 20/50/100 ft. lengths available & costs
from $6 to $25. Lastly is keeping hoops standing. My father-in-law is a
plumber & he supplied me with 18" lengths of 3/4" junk copper pipe that I
drove a foot into the ground at 24" intervals by 4' apart. That spacing
provided a 4' high hoop that I plan on putting back on this fall to try to
extend season. Other way to keep hoops up is rebar/didn't price that. Lastly
is the voice of experience. Believed the weatherman that it was going to be
"Mostly cloudy." so I didn't lift end flaps before heading off to work.
Returned home to find a blast furnace with 44 dead seedlings (had a temp
gauge in soil that read 84F/hate to think what temp inside was) & outside
air temp was only 72F.
44 replacement plants producing nicely,
Paul
