Parthenon, a parthenocarpic green zucchini, might be a solution for you guys. The seeds are 4x the price of other hybrid, though. It did work fine for me last season in a hoophouse. Zucchini all season long from a single planting, with practically no reject.

I've had poor luck with unassisted pollination of zucchini in my hoop houses,
despite their being next to the open sides. I'll be trying to help things
along this year.

I have Zephyr squash in the hoop. The ends of the fruit are rotting off when
the fruit is about 4-8" long. The fruit are also mostly skinny. My guess is
a pollination problem. Am I correct or do I have a bigger problem?
