THE WHAT??? Hey, way to keep me hangin!!! Next video is already here, thank goodness. Oh, what a way to end a video.... You two were great. Your a great addition to the channel Anthony, I like the jackolantern!

great concept - tips/suggestions use a 2" pipe strap to loosely secure the 24" pvc pipe to the board to keep it vertical while hammering the pvc into the ground, then move the strap to the next spot. also hold a block of wood on top of the the pvc pipe while hammering it in the ground and the pvc pipe won't get battered on the end and is less likely to crack or break.

this is awesome. You guys are great. Thanks for this.

I'm considering making a canapy to park my truck under with pvc pipe and sheet metal roofing, the arches you made is a dang good idea for strength and less pieces to buy for assembly.

Pi x R2. Height you want x2 = ? x 3.14159 / 2 should give you the answer.

We went with electrical conduit because it is supposedly sunlight resistant. At least that's what is printed on it. Also says rigid which I took for strong. It's approved for above and underground use. Cost was only a few cents less than white (plumbing) PVC. Thanks for the compliment and good luck with yours. I'm looking forward to seeing it. Don't worry too much about mistakes. We've made plenty but learned a lot from them.

Good show...I am building a 25 x 50 footer with 2 inch vent pipe.I was concerned about the plastic breaking down and was glad to see two plans to prevent it..Ground cloth and latex paint.i was thinking of dipping the cloth into the paint ..no... although it would probley work.I think I will just paint them.Hmm i bet I have some left over house paint..perfect match...Enjoy your time with your boy.....Mine is now 36 and miles from home..

I used 2ft - 3ft rebar stakes and then ran a string line for a even bottom then mounted small pieces of aluminum angle as a stop for the hoops. I used 2‐10ft sticks of 3/4" pvc electrical conduit for a 20ft hoop

Hi, I'm from Zimbabwe (Africa). Love your series-clear, precise and concise. Am about to do my own hoop-house (will be a replica of yours!). Would like to know the thickness of the walls of your electrical conduits for the arches. Here the thickness is given as classes; say 10 being thicker than 6. Am afraid I might get something too thick-then can't bend it , or too thin-then it breaks/folds or cannot carry the weight of the plastic.

+Bernard Godet They were cut to 2 feet long.

Did you use something to make the hoops all bottom out in the 2" anchor pipes? I ask as your's looks very uniform. I would think that any soil entering up from bottom of anchor as you pound it in would throw off the depth that your hoop would bottom out at. Great video, and congrats on having such a wonderful experience with your kid.

@ghog63

+Rob S You're right. It would throw off the depth but I wasn't even able to pound each anchor down the same. Some got their tops cut off. I didn't get too concerned about getting them all the same. I just eyed it and it worked out. Thanks for the compliment.

@colavaughan7971

Seems to me you could just mark the ends of the arch pipe, say like 8" up from each end; then insert them into the ground anchor pipes up to the mark and then drill the holes and set the carriage bolts and all would be uniform.
