Learn step-by-step how to build a hoop house in this time-lapse video.
0:49 Constructing the base
2:55 Installing the hoops
7:18 Adding the plastic
9:26 Tightening down the plastic
13:43 Building doors
17:23 Automatic venting
Following is the list of materials we used for our hoop house. I have provided Amazon links for everything practical to buy on Amazon. We obtained all our materials locally except the greenhouse plastic and the automatic vent openers. We already had the pocket hole jig necessary to make the doors and saved money by reusing clothesline and lumber strapping.
If you prefer to use standard-width poly film instead of investing in greenhouse plastic, you should check out our YouTube video on JOING PLASTIC SHEETS TOGETHER https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRrSIoxNdI4&t=9s
