Easy DIY Mini-Hoophouse for Growing Vegetables #shorts



Quickly sharing the basics of the mini hoop house design I’m using. Thanks to @jamesprigioni for initial inspiration🔥Material I used for a mini-hoop house to go over a 4ftx10ft (1.2x3m)

3 – 10ft lengths of 2×3 Timber
2 – 10ft lengths of roofing batten 25mmx50mm
2 – 4ft lengths of 2×3 Timber
2 – 2ft lengths of 2×3 Timber
8 – 3m lengths of alcathene pipe 22mm thick
2-3 – Door Hinges
UV Plastic sheeting 16ft x 6ft to allow for plenty of overhang (polytunnel plastic)
80mm nails/screws
40mm nails/screws
Any tape (electrical tape works well)
Thin Wood strips 2.4m 28ft in total (any lengths)
Nails longer than the wood strips
Piece of wood for ventilation

Note – use stainless steel screws and hinge to allow you to easily take the hoop house off one bed and install on another bed 🌿

    Yo Huw next time you want a working holiday come to Canada. We can chase bears and build one of these for me!

    This is fantastic! I have two 3×6 elevated beds on my patio and need these! Going to build this weekend.

    He clearly got someone else to build that for him. Problem with them is ventilation. Everyday you have to go put it up and down and check it’s not too hot etc

    Do you have this in a video on your yt channel? I don't have a phone and this snippet gets cut off at the bottom – would love to see how it is made as I've fumbled along for many years without a frame. thanks

    I'm betting at least 10 people will see this and have a perfect excuse for why they can't do this.
    Can't never could do nothing!
