Our first hoophouse was/is 14 x 20. A friend bent water
pipe - I am not sure how long a pipe but we got 24 foot plastic and had plenty
to spare - I assume 20 foot waterpipe. We put the ends in depressions drilled in
a 2 x 4 frame on the ground. Wired lengths of 2x2 across the top for ridge
pole. Framed in a door with small vent above the door on each end. Still using
it, mostly for storage, since we have a 26 x 96 now too. But, DH has been asked
to build 3 like our old one for friends. Haven't costed it out. Wants to use
Gatorshield pipe. The original waterpipe isn't rated for a heavy snow load. One
winter I stuck a couple upright 2 x 4s in as vertical supports when we had
several inches of snow.
But, it was not expensive and has served us well. I would
prefer more venting on the ends.

list! I am planning on making/ buying a
smaller sized hoop house and am thinking of a 12 X 24 ‘ size. I have a catalog
from Charlie’s Greenhouse out west and Farm Tek to consider. Do any of you have
any suggestions on where to buy or what book to use to assemble my own? I would
appreciate any comments and thank you in advance. Georgene ( Farmer’s Daughter’s
