Here is the idea I have come up with for the construction of a hoophouse (cold frame). It’s not finished yet, but I do want to post the progress as soon as possible so that in case anyone of you want to construct the same thing, you will be able to finish before the growing season starts.
Again, the objectives are:
1. A hoophouse which looks good (IMHO).
2. Easy to make.
3. Inexpensive and reusable ($20.00 +-).
4. Demountable and requiring very little storage space.
Main material used is clear UV corrugated panels (Home Depot). The Panels are cut in half and just clear taped together to make them wider.
I made the end walls using sheet plastic I have.
The vaulted panels and supported by poles in the center and can slide back and forth for access to the seedlings.
If you live in a windy area, all you have to do is to strap the panels down with bungee cords.
What do you think?
