1+ Hoop house idea. Your idea using a simple design, minimumal materials and little helpers is genius! This was one of the best Hoop house designs I have seen. Thank you sir. 😀
Johnnys seeds has a tubing driver that will prevent deformation of the ground post tubing. You could also use a large bolt to do the same thing. Wood will work but a bit fussy.
long strips of bicycle inner tubes make great "ridge pole-to-hoop" connection. They make great plastic tensioner. Tie a piece of rope onto both ends of a strip of inner tube. Tie one end off to a stake toss it over the tunnel and tie it off to another stake.
Great video, very helpful. I love it when you say "this is tiny", it's more than half of my growing space ;-)) but in your context is obviously is tiny.
Cattle panels bent over make nice greenhouses 4 inch PVC pipe made in a square with four elbows and four pieces of 10 ft pipe. A slot in cut in the top side length wise in each pipe for the ends of each panel then they can be slid along the ground. When not in use they can be used for poultry just cover them with hardware cloth.
Boy are those kids lucky! My dad tried to do essentially the same thing (but with shower curtains). The wind came up and he couldn’t protect us. He also could never “talk with his hands” like you do. The amount of guesswork that most people have to go through to get to your level is enough to make any man fold. I’ve been training and my brother has been training. Maybe we could do a Zoom call?
Not an expert but I would orient EW so the prevailing south winds of summer are blocked from drying out the beds because rains won’t reach garden which for past 3 springs has been extremely wet so tunnel should really eliminate that headache. Good luck
Built my first tunnel following Curtis Stones method to bend your own chainlink fence. It been a game changer. Love your videos!
Very useful video!! Thank You very much for going into the connections at the end!
Thank you for sharing your expertise.
This was very helpful , thank you !
Thanks for sharing. Haven’t done a tunnel yet, but getting ideas 😊

What type connectors did you use for the center pole that connected the hoops?

You are so neat and organized love it
I’ve always wanted something like this ❤
Using a piece of wood to protect the poles is a good idea when hitting the foundation tubes in.
Guess Conor can’t know everything growing and construction tips😂

Wow thank you so much for this. ❤👏👏👏I’m going to try to replicate this diy tunnel as I start planning for my first vegetable garden next spring.
Learned about wiggle wire channel for the first time, thanks!

Would someone be kind enough to share a parts list for this? I’m not as gifted as some of you are in this area and it would help
What size bender did you use?
Where are these affordable kits available from?
How well does it tolerate wind?
"Simple Backyard Tomato Structure"
*builds greenhouse
*builds a low tunnel
Do the open ends orient from N to S or E to W?
unless your land is very slopped, you always want your rows north to south

At 06:24 notice Conor’s shadow is cast in front of him so sun is perpendicular to beds. Means beds run EW.
👍👍
Mark the desired depth on the side tubes in advance and skip measuring them individually.
what if the grounds uneven
