Kewl idea. Just a suggestion. I was part owner of a construction company in Florida, where it rains every day at noon just about. When you'r4e using visqueen, which is the plastic you're using here, take the 1x2 and roll it underneath the visqueen a few times then pull that tight when you've removed enough slack. That does a couple things. This will remove a lot of the moisture seepage, keep the wood from rotting and create an even better barrier for pests. Another trick is to use two 1x2's and loop the visqueen under the first 1x2 and over the second. That would allow you to more easily make adjustments and it braces the plastic between two breaks creating an even distribution for the plastic to be held making it much less likely to expand at the screws and tear. Another thing you can do is add a small lip with an overhang of the plastic using 1x4 strips on the three sides that don't have hinges. That will create a better run off and keep the wood under the plastic from rotting for much longer. Simple tricks to make your building last longer. Hope this helps a bit man! 😁

Building a hinged hoop house is an excellent way to extend the growing season of your raised bed garden. It is a simple and cost-effective project that can be completed in a weekend with just a few basic tools. The first step is to measure the length and width of your raised bed garden, and then gather the necessary materials. You will need PVC pipes, elbow joints, screws, hinges, and clear plastic sheeting.

@bettynickelson779

Do you seal and with what that food safe?

I saw a great idea on another hoop house video:. Install an extra handle on the raised bed below the handle for the hinged top. That way if it's windy, you can loop a bungy cord through to keep closed (or to keep critters out).

I’ll be using this one. I’m also adding a flip up strut to hold it open while working.

James after watching several videos, this was the best hoop house tutorial. Im a female but i feel empowered by your video to construct this hoop house. The only thing I think I want to do different is use material covering that is breathable, and allows for air, sunshine, and rain to get through, yet still protect against critters and pests. A million thanks. Your videos are high quality and pleasant to watch due to great video editing.

Where we sometimes get way too much rain I'm thinking that this design also allows us to control irrigation in what we call June-uary. We cover crops that we can water ourselves with our drip system instead of mother nature over doing it. Until it starts to dry out.

I've been avoiding watching this video for a couple weeks as it keeps showing up in my youtube recommendations. Afterall, how difficult is it to build a PVC hoop cover for a raised bed? Nothing to it and who needs a video? Boy, am I glad I finally took the time to watch. It's a great video and demonstrates a simple, reliable, way to accomplish the task - far better than I would have done trying to rig something up on the fly,. Thank you!

Beautiful build. We'll be a free people when every family has a couple of these beds to grow year round.

This was fantastic, thanks James for a great tutorial. We built one looking at your video and I'm delighted how it turned out. It's remarkable just how warm it is inside. Am looking forward to winter harvests now!

Wow, brilliant design, brilliant teaching demonstration, so impressed. Thank you so much for sharing this.

Thank you! And yes would appreciate seeing second layer.

Man this is so awesome! My wife would love one of these. You did an amazing job and thought of just about everything building this. Thanks for the tips and hope to start my own soon.

I've been getting my backyard ready for this for weeks. I just finished the first one of four. Looks great, I love it! Thanks for the video! You're very easy to follow.

You have a lot of energy! I love the design of these hoop houses, thanks for showing us how to make them!

I really appreciate you breaking down the math and teaching us in a format that we can pause, take notes, and then apply to not only this project but many more. Thankyou!

I Totally got something out of this! I've been wanting a hoop house or two on my raised beds & after watching this video I know it's something I can easily do by myself. Thank you so very much.

Love your ideas for keeping the harvest going through the winter season. I live in Chicago and is really cold and windy. Thank you for sharing and teaching us how to create one.

Just what we need. I saw your vid of another design you had done and was looking to rewatch it, but found this one which is just perfect... can be a double layer for our cold winters. Thanks!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS WONDERFUL VIDEO!! We are going to actively garden now that the whole shut down is in effect. I DO live in the PNW region of Humboldt Co. near the ocean by 1 mile. I will need to see that wind issue segment for the greenhouse. My teen son and his forester dad will help me and my daughter with the math. You made it all seem so completely doable and for me that is a great plus. Happy Easter. Blessings.

This brings back so many beautiful memories with my grandma when we had raised beds and we used old window instead of the plastics and we did use that types of plastic on the sides. Thank you I have a good place to place a garden but have not had anything to give me incentive until now.

Thank you, James. This video was spot on with instructions and details. My husband and I just made one today. So very happy on how it turned out. Thank you.
