I had to show this Hinged hoophouse

[caregiverken]

Why haven't I done this yet? :wacky:

I am going to put the hinge on the long side though

 

[drbombay]

farmer ken, if you hinge the long side be certain the width is greater than the height. for the side walls to clear the canopy. cause you like em to fill out. wonder what the skin is?

This obviously won't work in Kansas, Oklahoma, or Chicago. :)

 

[stutter]

Excellent tip Doc! Maybe it's best the way they did it.

LMAO! I can think of certain desert areas of California, not to mention a few hilly places, where this could be problematic if not weighted and secured properly. Good point.

Great idea! I wonder if you could grow vegetables in something like that?

if it requires a pollinator the full cover will make it tough going. i want one with screen for no moths/ no larvae. still want the heads up on the skin if anyone knows what it is. thanks

pretty cool. ...although it wouldn't last a week up here though. The wind would get underneath it and blow it into Kansas.

[drbombay]
