You are a true MacGuyver Curtis. The master of improvisation.
Thank you very much for the video, I'm from Pakistan and I'm building a greenhouse and I didn't know how to best ventilate it. Thanks to your video, I now know how to do it. Thank you again. 👍👍👍
you are a awesome guy , just brought your book and met a farmer who is also a fan of you and we are setting a plot starting this week , i'm so excited thank you for inspiring me
+Johndeere Carter crush it!
thanks so much for the information! you help a lot of small farmers out there including me!
that channel lock system seems bad ass man so awesome! never seen that before.
Cheers
If you roll it up the other direction, then the water won't get trapped in there and cause mold and mildew. The water will run right over the top and not down inside the roll.
Looks like that driller is also one hell of an essential tool
impact driver? Very essential
Ehh not really... You can get by with just a drill but the impact does have nice driving power
And people ask how to vent this is why fancy isn't always better. I personally use stuff kicking around my place, free stuff and simple thing that can be altered if needed
Wow! i never even thought about making a greenhouse cover retractable!
Thanks for showing this! Incredibly simple, inexpensive, and efficient...liked!
Don't know if anyone said that already but a cutting disk in that grinder does a nice job too. Great system. I'll certainly be doing the same to mine this spring. That;'s if the snow ever goes away. Lol Northern New Brunswick...need I say more?
Another good nugget of knowledge to have, thanks for sharing.
I understood everything until you actually rolled it up, how did it all go up so easily and even, and how did tying it down with that rope keep it from falling back down, totally confusing, well, for me that is :P
Hand made good 👍
Instead of getting a custom crank, you can drill a hole in the end of the pipe and slip a rod through as a crank. One less tool to find or find a place for.
Curtis, if you cut your wiggle wire in aboat 8" lengths, go down the sides w the shorter pieces, and hook your top layer w that, you skip every 2' and add a " piece of wiggle wire, you can actually have space in between the wiggle wire for air to blow up the lower section, won't have to use a channel that way
Exactly what I needed to learn Thank you!
You are amazing sir,
So much versatile talent you possess,
I am proud of subscribing to you
Thankyou for low tech
So simple but it works! Very efficient & cost effective too... really cool ingenuity! 🖒
I cut pipe with my electric tile cutter that has a diamond wheel and sprays water on the pipe. Like cutting butter.
Incredible.... So helpful!.... Thank you!
I believe you were looking for the name chop saw. Thanks for all the great videos and book
Excellent and timely video, Curtis, as we are building the same these days. What is the best source for channel lock and greenhouse poly in BC, to avoid US exchange rate pain? CY Growers? Wondering if other market gardeners out there have experienced the run-around from distributor/wholesalers who prefer to talk to big farms or nurseries who order by the pallet or truck load? Its frustrating for those that have to build up infrastructure incrementally, when cash flow allows. We've experienced a reluctance from wholesalers to open accounts for a small market gardener. While I understand that preference/bias from a business perspective, there seems to be a market niche for scale-appropriate gear in western Canada -like what 4 Season Tools is doing in the Midwest US. Any businesses out there?
You fucking rock Curtis! 🤟
Awesome. Thank you for this video!
Perfect. Just about to do this
This is awesome. But how do I do the other side? (Opposite the crank?)
How is the other side connected? If you have helped sharing all sides instead of just partial. Nice video but not very helpful. Thank you
my hero
What is supporting the pipe on the opposite end of the crank? I followed everything until that moment.
Did you ever figure this out? I’m wondering the same thing.
@@state3stuff i didn’t unfortunately
awesome work plant bro....
Cool
Thanks Curtis..great idea...
Damn , that's excellent
I saw the video Yesterday great idea
Nice.
Nice mod Curtis, enjoyed this content.
What kind of metal pipe are you using for the rollup sides Curtis? Looks like they had in-built sleeves to connect together? Thanks in advance :)
+Nathanael Wiseman chain link fencing top rail.
Thanks Curtis - can't seem to find the stuff so easily in Australia! I'll have a better look...
Great video! Learned a lot. Thank you
I love it
Do you not have a problem with rain when you roll them inside out? We roll ours outside in which works without catching the rain which can bulge the plastic.
+gnc1962 never been a problem
i think that kind of plastic perfect for my african violet greenhouse would you mind to tell me what kind of plastic is that?
Brilliant. I've only used the system where there's a wiggle wire track running along the entire length of the roll up tube. track is about $1 a foot so that's probably a lot more expensive that your little poly pipe plastic clip trick. Is it still holding up well after 3 years? Do you still like this system for your roll up sides?
looking good there curtis :)
Use a cutting disk on your grinder, it will cut in a seconds. If you get a fairly decent disk, it will last.
It's about 1.6mm thick and looks like a regular grinding disk. Get a decent one.
You can go to woodprix if you would like to make it yourself guys.
Great stuff Curtis. Do you have any anti-billowing rope that you attach to that? We have a inflated plastic prop house and want roll-up sides on it but can't figure out how to get the zigzag string in there. Any ideas?
What is the size of the steel tubing you're using?
Hey Curtis! Do you guys ever have hailstorms in BC? I was wondering if the mil you use on that poly would hold up to a decent hail like what we have in Colorado.
good stuff man
Thanks for sharing. Have you tried plastic pipe instead of metal? Wondering if I could maybe use PVC
Yes, never again. PVC is garbage for greenhouses.
Thanks for the reply Curtis. Just so Im clear, I was talking about the pipe thats used for the roll up side, not the frame itself (which I agree, metal is so much better). Is that what you were referencing?
A PVC Pipe is for sure garbage also for that .. i think the weight of the metal pipes is even necessary to hold the plastic down when its kinda windy.
Which plastic are you using?
quite the marvel
Curtis, where do you buy the wiggle wire and the channel? Green House Maga store cost almost $400 to ship to Toronto Canada.
locally.
is the other side just feel to roll on its own? any latch for that side or holds itself?
Yes. It's free to roll on it's own.
hey Curtis, how often do you change the poly on your greenhouses?
I haven't once in 8 years.
awesome tip!
question: would this work also with a double poly greenhouse?
This was a double poly roof greenhouse/ cold frame shown. It required having the air inflation transfer tube(s) being disconnected that inflated both of the two long sidewalls. He did not show this procedure but the inflation fan will continue to inflate the roof but the air transfer tubes, for both sidewalls will be blocked. Most if not all have roll ups on both sidewalls for cross ventilation. If your question was you wanted roll up sides and still be able to inflate at night, it could be done but require allot of time, effort and difficult to justify.
watch some vaderog videos, you should be the vaderog of agriculture
How do you keep the plastic attached when not rolled up to minimize heat loss and wind damage?
+greenmodeling channel lock.
So the same as you do without it rolled up? Or do you do anything differently?
@@greenmodeling Seems like when you roll it down you can just reinsert the channel lock.
watchout you can cut your plastic by pulling wiggle wire out to fast
@Urban Farmer Curtis Stone : *How much of your diet comes from what you grow? Just curious*
Not that much. Most of the veg, but that's it.
Did John Kohler teach you nothing sir!
Like I said, we grow most of our veg, but not meat, dairy and eggs.
Sounds like your neighbor has a chop saw, a well saw is better, but a cutting disc is faster 😊
handle looks like a bike pedal arm :)
