I've recently purchased a semi large greenhouse for our garden (12×60). I'm not sure if I'll use the full 60ft but in my quest to learn best setup practices I have found your youtube channel and it is excellent! You don't repeat yourself endlessly and your build details are great. I've subscribed and watched a few videos so far. This rope idea is something I never would have known about. Awesome!
Happy to hear the videos have helped you. Thanks for the kind words and the sub! I’m always editing more videos so hopefully I can get more published soon!
This is a well-done video. I feel the information is presented clearly. I'm going to build another GH but this time with roll-up sides. Having not seen a "real" GH with roll-up sides in-person, I'm learning what I can where I can and this is very helpful. Thank you.
Thanks for this. Instead of going from hip board on one hoop to the base board of the next would there be any benefits or issues in going from the baseboard up to the hip board on the same hoop then going to the baseboard on the next hoop and continuing in that pattern?
Hey there, thanks for the question. I do not think there would be an issue with how you describe setting up the anti-billow system. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching, Frank. If you are referring to aluminum extension bars used for roll-up guide pipes, than I don’t think that is how the EZ-Snaps are made. I will say that similar hardware could likely be made by someone with metal working skills though (and a lot of time!).
You can still use the EZ Snap Hooks and Bolts+Nuts, but you would have to be more careful when drilling through the channel. You may want to poke a small hole in the plastic where the EZ Snap Hook is going to be located, and then use the end of a pen or the drill bit itself (before it is spinning) to just open that hole in the plastic up a little bit. Then, at that point, I’d try the 1/4” drill bit; the reason I would attempt it like that is to reduce the likelihood that the drill bit will “snag” / “grab hold of” the plastic as the drill goes through it. This would be what I would do, but of course, you are on the ground there and it may make more sense to go a different route. Hope my input helps at all. Thanks for watching!

Another perfectly explained video
Thank you SO much for the kind words, Audrey!!
We called the end knot a truckers hitch. It's definitely handy.
Wish I would of found y’all’s stuff before I followed the boot strap farmers’ methods! Good stuff thanks so much.
Happy you found us, and thanks for the kind words! Hit us up here, or on our website, anytime 🤙
I’m watching my hoop plastic whip in the wind, as I learn how to stop that madness. 😂 thank you. You make it look easy and didn’t use big words.
Happy to hear the video is helpful. Hope you get that plastic to stop flapping, and thanks for watching!
EZ-snap is made by aluminum extension bar-cutting?

What do you recommend if the plastic is in place?
You can still use the EZ Snap Hooks and Bolts+Nuts, but you would have to be more careful when drilling through the channel.
You may want to poke a small hole in the plastic where the EZ Snap Hook is going to be located, and then use the end of a pen or the drill bit itself (before it is spinning) to just open that hole in the plastic up a little bit.
