I'm intrigued by this particular statement (and the whole email) because
one of our huge issues with greenhouses is that our farm access is
miserable. We don't have room for big delivery trucks to turn around, and
our county road is too busy, and has poor visibility, for them to back up
the driveway. I talked to our local greenhouse supplier and they usually
bring in greenhouse hoops on a flatbed which would be much too big for our
access issues. I had thought they were one-piece hoops. But from
what you're saying, they're two-piece hoops that you can lash to your truck,
perhaps with help from a roof rack or canopy frame. Am I understanding
that right? Did you cut through a one-piece hoop to do that, or were they
already in two pieces? And how do they go back together? Now that
I've seen the DIY websites I'll probably go with that approach. But if I hear
about a used greenhouse for sale I'd at least like to know I have that option as
well. So, more details on those points would be great. Thanks.
