- This inexpensive structure can be used for both winter AND summer growing! See how we constructed this cattle panel greenhouse for overwintering plants in the winter and climbing vines and trellis plants in the summer, using cattle panels and lumber!
We simply remove the plastic and store it away over the summer! - Навчання та стиль
Thanks for your sharing, a short rebar to hold 2x4 for not bending over under heavy snow load is a great idea of this cattle panel greenhouse design
This was very helpful. We recently had our cattle panel hoop house destroyed by high winds, so I've been scouring youtube for ideas from other hoop house builders so we can hopefully get ours rebuilt quickly, but in a much stronger design. Thanks so much for such helpful content!
I've been looking at a lot of tunnel builds and I like yours the best. Thank you for sharing.
This is exactly what I was looking for that we could do in our garden we plan to build this year!!! Genius!!! I love your channel and so happy you have teamed with Epic Gardening!
I have a request- maybe next time while you are dealing with plastic you can do a voice over. I often listen to videos while wearing earbuds so I can keep moving. 😊
This is officially my favorite channel on UA-cam!🎉 I hope this is the video I was looking for. I cannot wait to build a low tunnel!!!
Great idea on the tubing to prevent holes!
Absolutely building a few of these this spring! Great idea!! Mine will probably get raised about 3' but maintain that six foot spread. Great video!
Ideas for summer creation and next winter’s pleasure. Thanks for sharing!
Love your hat!!! And this design!!!
I like the design and build of this - simple and effective. I'm curious though, if you considered leaving the North side of the plastic attached at the bottom and just rolling it over to the ground during the warmer season. It could be covered with whatever to protect from unnecessary UV exposure and save time and effort (nothing upside down or backwards) when putting it back up for the winter.
Very nice
SUPER APPRECIATE all the detailed info on this! I would not have known where to begin & I definitely want to try this!!
I’ve been waiting for this video! 😊 Sending to my husband-I think it will be perfect, as we get legit wind.
Wow, great work 😊
Thank you for tutorial
The algorithm is reading my mind. I've been using cattle panels for years in my garden and was out measuring to reconfigure my two panels into a mini season extender as winter approaches. This looks great and is pretty close to mine. Though tbh I only ever planted on the outside of the arches, I don't know why but that is changing. I love seeing what it's going to sort of look like with the cover on. I have 1" galv pipe hammered into the ground to hold them and I'll be putting 100" x 18" x 6" boxes along each in(side). It has a lot of protection from the wind so I'm making it so I can roll the cover up on a pole on each side as the weather warms up.
This is so helpful! Thank you. Im confident that i dont need help to finish mine. Thank you so much
Thanks!
We are going to try this!
Thank you!
I heard you say 85 mph winds on the front range, y'all in Colorado? We live in the springs and I'm gonna build one of these in the next couple months. Perfect idea for summer and winter!
Yes! We are in wheat ridge area!
Great video! Thanks for all the details. I want to try this. Great video! Thanks for all the detail! I want to try this. Can you please comment on the plastic material you used to cover your greenhouse? Perhaps a link?
Thank you so much for the helpful information! Would you please share what is the most snow load it has withheld? We sometimes have 2 feet of snow in a day and I wonder if this structure would be able to hold the load. Thank you!
I'm in blustery central MN and we just may need to try this! I grow plant starts in the spring and haven't put up a high tunnel for the simple fact that our winds would destroy it. Do you think one could put to panels together end to end to extend the width and have it still be as strong/ wind resistant?
Our rows are already set up running North-South so we wouldn't be able to take advantage of the full Southern exposure in the winter. Do you think this would still work? In Michigan, zone 5/6, frost dates mid May-mid September.
I'm half way through. I hope you let us know what plastic cover you use and where to get it. Thank you.❤
Great video, love the double wall. Would it be wrong to ask where you are and what Zone you grow in? I am in Central Ontario Canada and most years still have snow in the garden area until early to mid April which rally shortens my growing season. We don't normal hit 100 growing days from last frost to first frost. Extended my season might actually allow some vegetables to reach maturity. Currently I am filling my kitchen with seedlings so I can have plants instead of seedlings in the ground. Thanks for any thoughts. Happy Easter.
I saw another video where she said they're in zone 5 or 6.
@@kimjones1260 Thank you. I am in zone 5b which only allows for maybe 100 days outside un protected. I have not been overly successful with our weather the last couple of years. So starting soon, I will be trying my hand at Hydroponics, for now using the Kratky method. Have a great day.
Yes, I’m on the same page as everyone else lol. Where do you get your plastic film from? ❤
Hello thank you for sharing!
what is the name of your plastic & where did you get it from?
I am attempting to create a shorter version of your house👍🏾
Yeah! I’d definitely like to give this a go next winter in my backyard using a short tunnel of 3 cattle panels (because that’s what I have the space for). I’m interested to know where to purchase the 2 different layers that you put over the cattle panels and the black pipe that protects the plastic from those jagged metal pieces that stick out on the cattle panels.
I've been using the 6mil painters plastic from the hardware store for years very successfully like this. The black pipe she was talking about is irrigation pipe I believe. Also found at any big box hardware store. Hope that helps!
@@BD-bb4rd Helpful, yes! Thanks!😊
@@BD-bb4rd how does that plastic hold up to large hail?
@@essentialcomforts2166 We don't get large hail where I'm at so I can't really speak to that, sorry! We get small hail and it holds up fine though. Maybe still worth a try? A 10'x25' roll is under $40 (Lowes/Home Depot)
thanks! so much! question. why the two peices of pastic?
The first one is for light filtration so that it doesn’t get too hot for cool loving plants, otherwise it heats up quite a bit in there!
I definitely want to try this in Alberta !! So ..... we are in the cattle business and we have not seen these cattle panels here ? Do you know approximately what they cost ?
What are the specifics for the panels- sizes?
Hi, my understanding is cattle panel wires are atleast 4gauge or 5mm diameter. Will a thinner wire around 2.5 mm diameter work? Could not find cattle panel in Ireland.
I’m in Larkspur, Colorado and we get high winds and lots of snow as well. I’d really like to try this method. What is the mm of the plastic cover you’re using and where did you purchase yours?
She said she uses overwintering fabric with 8 mil greenhouse plastic over the top of it. Some commenters have also mentioned using 6 mil, as it's easier to find and cheaper. Depending where you are, the 6 mil might be fine, but be extra careful when sliding it over the hoops, to avoid tears and holes.
Where did you get your plastic?
Hi Bree. Help me out please. I have never understood what I hear people saying about greenhouse plastic. When you say it is 8 mil, what does that mean? Surely no 8 millimetres?? That would be way thick. I have ordered greenhouse plastic here in the UK and I don’t think I have come across this? I can see that your plastic is thick but surely not 8mm thick?
Love the information you share and all you are doing. Thanks
mil describes the plastic and will be on the label/description. You can buy 1 mil, 2 mil, 4 mil, 8 mil, etc. Just make sure you're buying 8 mil plastic because lighter plastic won't hold up.
It’s painters plastic made of polyethylene. It can be purchased in huge rolls at home improvement/hardware stores in different size MIL (thousandths of an inch, 1 mil =0.001)
Commonly sold as 2,4,6 MIL. I believe she said hers was 6
What are the beautiful flowers at 10:23. I could not recognize them.
Stock I believe!
I believe that I would just make the ends out of 1/2-in OSB that way the plastic could just remain in a simple rectangular shape and be easy to roll up and over or fold up and store during the offseason. Thumbs up on the design. One question that was not answered for me during the video was the length of the cattle panels are they standard? Like 14 or 16 ft?
I usually see them in 16ft lengths.
