  • Kewl idea. Just a suggestion. I was part owner of a construction company in Florida, where it rains every day at noon just about. When you'r4e using visqueen, which is the plastic you're using here, take the 1x2 and roll it underneath the visqueen a few times then pull that tight when you've removed enough slack. That does a couple things. This will remove a lot of the moisture seepage, keep the wood from rotting and create an even better barrier for pests. Another trick is to use two 1x2's and loop the visqueen under the first 1x2 and over the second. That would allow you to more easily make adjustments and it braces the plastic between two breaks creating an even distribution for the plastic to be held making it much less likely to expand at the screws and tear. Another thing you can do is add a small lip with an overhang of the plastic using 1x4 strips on the three sides that don't have hinges. That will create a better run off and keep the wood under the plastic from rotting for much longer. Simple tricks to make your building last longer. Hope this helps a bit man! 😁

  • I saw a great idea on another hoop house video:. Install an extra handle on the raised bed below the handle for the hinged top. That way if it's windy, you can loop a bungy cord through to keep closed (or to keep critters out).

    • Building a hinged hoop house is an excellent way to extend the growing season of your raised bed garden. It is a simple and cost-effective project that can be completed in a weekend with just a few basic tools. The first step is to measure the length and width of your raised bed garden, and then gather the necessary materials. You will need PVC pipes, elbow joints, screws, hinges, and clear plastic sheeting.

  • Will be doing some this year. I’m going to put the straps at the ends for high wind, but for the prop post, I’ll have to where it attaches to the lid on one end and to the box on the other -so it doesn’t fall when the wind moves the lid. Or maybe have three props that attaches: the middle prop to hold lid up while putting the outside props up and down. I really like your design; it’s really straightforward, and one person -friendly.👍

    • True Star if you make the straps that hold it open so the lid opens further you won’t need the prop sticks, gravity will hold it open. Also screwing the hinges into the end grain of the 2x4s eventually the screws will just pull out of the end grain, you want the screws into the side grain of the 2x4 less likely to become stripped out. Annnnnnnd you can add a hook and eye closure so you don’t have to worry about wind lifting it open or rodents getting in. PVC glue for the hoop frame wouldn’t hurt either. And when building the frame I would recommend using a Kreg jig and pocket screwing the frame together.....ohhhh and I would also recommend using more than just the 2 hinges. The design as it is with the style hinge he showed you could add many more. I would advise at least 3 more.

    • I was thinking exactly the same about the prop which will fall when wind blows further then lid slam down. Other wise great video. Yes 2nd layer video would be cool.

    • Saw your post sometimes you might beable to uses bent metal pipes instead of plastic pvc if your willing to spend a little more and the frame will be more structurally sound. The plastic comes in tons of different strengths but i imagine you need to consider how much lighting can come in. Because if its strong with no lighting penetration then you would have to switch out with different plastic. Not experienced as this guy but i have good ideas take them with a grain of salt, do your own research. Best of luck.

    • @@jessechase7033 An additional hinge in the middle could be beneficial. Any more than that is overkill. It's only purpose is to keep the 2x4 from bowing over time. The hinges don't hold any weight so any additional hinges are merely to keep that side of the frame straight.

  • Thank you for all the tips and tricks! I'm from Belgium so i do live in another climate zone, but i Learn so much from you! I just finished my first raised bed and got the pvc pipes from the store yesterday. Lets go make that hoop! 🤩 I did not find the T-pieces or the closed caps, but i'm gonne try to drill a hole in the frame itself and glue it with some woodglue. Its not too windy where i place it and i hope the plastic will also help to keep the frame in place. It' a trial and error proces i suppose, but i'm having so much fun with it! Thank you and keep up the fantastic work! 🤩

I have made several of these this past fall using a "cathedral" shape (think two parallel uprights with a triangle shaped roof - 4 pieces of pvc) as I live in Michigan and this cathedral shape does a great job shedding snow.

When you use the clips for securing the plastic to the pvc frame I cut the clips in half . By cutting the clips in half, you can double the number of clips and secure more locations on the frame.

  • This is great, well done, well edited! I used all pvc to build a similar light frame, just covered with chickenwire for a mobile day coop in my yard for growout chicks. Let them out of night coop, they run all flapping noisy stampede across the yard like you'll never see them again, then they turn and do the same coming back, repeat! Lol. Then pour morning ration in day trough in the mobile coop, they run in, you lower it. Keeps them contained where you want them in your yard or garden. Note, chicken wire is barely a slowdown to any determined predator, so an outer barrier like yard fence or else reinforcement on the mobile pen is critical to prevent loss.
