  • In this video I show you the basic steps I went through to build my 17' x 50' commercial hoop house for under $1000. I show you where I acquired materials, how to lay out a footprint, how to install ground posts, baseboards, hoops and purlins.
    PART TWO: • How to Build A Hoop Ho...
    In part two, I explain hip boards, end walls, wiggle wire and the outer plastic installation.

    For heaven's sake Jim. Until 15 minutes and 47 seconds ago I didn't know what a hoop house was. Now I want one. First bees, now a hoop house. I need a small farm. Great video!

    • @vinofarm
      @vinofarm  6 років тому +9

      It's an unheated greenhouse! You might call them high tunnels over there. If I put a heat source in here, I could call it a "greenhouse" but since it's only solar powered, it's a "hoophouse." They're definitely nice to have around!

    • @MickGrewcock
      @MickGrewcock 6 років тому +6

      We call similar structures polytunnels here, though they are often temporary, moveable structures rather than the semi-permanent appearance of yours. They are frequently used for forcing early tomatoes etc. There are acres and acres of them in southern Spain from which comes the UK's early spring salad veg. Looking forward to seeing the produce from your hoop house. Best to all for the spring.

    What I like the most, this is for a single-person assemble instructions. That'd be me. I checked my farming area, no hoops or materials to build my own. I did see a pipe/pole bender; may go back and get it. I need a scaled down version too, for my residential backyard. My eyes are always bigger for what I want, then what I have room.
    I love the trickery and humor with the (reverse) instruction process; pretty awesome dude! You Rock!

    I actually learnt something today. I never understood what the hypotenuse was until now. Cheers for that. In the past if I wanted to mark out a rectangle. I would peg out the four corners, then measure diagonal

    • @vinofarm

    I Have 8 32 foot long by 15 foot wide hoop houses made from free scrapyard found "Rhino" brand carport kits that someone threw the whole thing away because the first end frame became damaged from someone running into it with a car or snowplow etc. and i bought cheap 10 foot long 3/4 inch electrical conduit (steel) to add additional wind bracing and i bought bags of concrete to fill 5 gallon buckets to make anchors every 8 feet. Other than that i bought the greenhouse film and attachment parts and got a good start for under $250.

  • @badWithComputer
    @badWithComputer 6 років тому +2

    To get a nice right angle you can use a 3 4 5 triangle (or multiple of). Measure 3ft one way and then 4ft another, between those two points should be 5ft, also works for metres.

    • @vinofarm
      @vinofarm  6 років тому +1

      Yes, that's the same thing as the hypotenuse calculator. It's difficult to keep things square with 3/4/5 on a 50 or 100 foot scale. You could do 6/8/10 or 12/16/20, but at that point, I prefer to just get a specific hypotenuse and be exact. Especially with google right in my pocket.

    Center purlin on every house I’ve built goes outside as you stated on each arch except for the end walls. It should go inside the hoop of the end wall so that the wire channel fits on most houses or plastic seals tight when stretched if using batten boards on others without a pressure point like that would make on the outside of the end arch. Other than that, this is one of the best examples for building houses on you tube! Well done my friend!

    • @vinofarm

    @stevecaswell 4 роки тому +1

    Even though I know the Pythagorian theorem there is another way that is easy. I've been in home building construction 38+ years. One way we used was 3 + 4 = 5 or any combination of that works. What does that mean? Measure along one site from the corner and put a mark at 3 feet. Measure the other side from the same corner and put a mark at 4 feet. Then measure diagonally across to each points, it will be 5 feet if it is square. Likewise, you can do 6 + 8 = 10 or 9 + 12 = 15 etc.

      DIYMarta There are agricultural grants all over the USA. I have a local friend who got a grant for a brand new hoop house last year in MA. He's a small farmer, though. There is a minimum you need to make selling products to be considered a farm. That probably varies by state.

We are residing in Mesa and San Tan Valley in Arizona and been wanting to have my own garden and green house by watching you i am sure will build one when we more to Carthage or Pine hurt North Carolina. You have show me where to find the cheap material but, can you please tell me how you do it all by yourself getting the plastic over the Hoop house and that is pretty amazing and where do you get plastic and what type of Ply plastic ?
    Thank you in advance

    • @vinofarm
      @vinofarm  4 роки тому

      Google: "greenhouse plastic roll 4-year"
      There are many places that sell it. We have a farm supply business near us and I can go pick it up. Most online places will ship it. Just make sure you're buying real greenhouse plastic with UV protection. The stuff you get at home depot will disintegrate in a year. The "4-year" plastic we put on your hoophouse in 2009 is in it's 12th year and still holding up fine after 11 New England winters.
