What to Expect on our Channel:
Tiny Hilltop is the digital life-form of Nate and Evan's journey toward food self-sufficiency. Videos will include organic gardening, greenhouse gardening, and starting an orchard using permaculture concepts when possible. We hope that our videos can bring the peace and tranquility we feel when growing food amongst the trees. We would be honored if you chose to follow along on our journey!
Tiny Hilltop Background:
Nate has been dealing with chronic health issues for over a decade. The worst of it starting in 2011, taking me from 200lbs to 150lbs in a few months. He was mostly bedridden, requiring a wheelchair to leave the house for nearly three years. Liver and immune issues caused him to develop a sensitivity to chemicals. That started his journey towards living remotely, designing a non-toxic tiny house, growing his own food, and attempting to be as self sustainable as possible. Starting in 2020, Evan, will be doing most of the heavy lifting but Nate will still be involved with planning and production of videos.
Thanks For Watching!

I absolutely love the presentation you've given on how you did it. You seem like you'd rather just either be listening to some lofi or the birds and working in the sun, but you've given us a tutorial instead. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but man, it's super refreshing to see someone who knows how to work take the time to share a bit of the information in his head.
Thank you for the kind words. I actually enjoy making videos. So to hear they help is just icing on the cake.
C'mon, how can you thumb down this guy? Going at it alone ain't easy. Great job dude.
The way you framed in the doorway was very helpful, thank you.
Yes, this is on my list to build I need something quick and easy. I mentor at-risk youth 7-18 and when I have them in the garden area it works wonders. We have been working on the Harbor Freight Green House and it's not that easy and I need something like this or bigger because of the summer camp program. Thanks, you made it look easier than the one we're doing.
Hope it works out for you and the kids.
Hoop Houses are great. DIY is the way to go.
Thanks for watching! We think so too!
You did it all by yourself!👏
Enjoying your videos very much. Giving me all kinds of ideas to try in my garden. Thanks for sharing.
Really great job, thanks for your 📹❤️👍
all the best to you and well done on YOUR SELF BUILD. Enjoyed the video and hopefully the chicks are settling in well.
Ian in Scotland.
I wish every youtube video was narrated this succinctly.
Great job man! Loved the video, and I learned all I needed to build my own. Especially loved the outlet as a door handle!!👍
Good job
Very cool video. I've had this plan in mind for awhile now 👍
Looks great man!
Nate! This is fabulous! Well done! Stunning greenhouse! The chickens will be so happy!🐣🐔🐥
Awwwww the chickens.
Well I just read some of your story. I also deal with chronic illness which is part of why I've been looking at doing some gardening and stuff. I would give anything to have my own little place. Currently renting I have good credit hopefully it happens soon LOL. I've also dealt with chronic health issues though that flare up and leave me unable to work any type of full-time job. I like to work on arts and crafts and I always found gardening soothing. I really appreciate your videos thank you for sharing!
Fingers crossed you can get your own place soon!
Fingers crossed you can get your own place soon!
Beca, look into 3 or 4 months on Floressence tea, read the Essiac Book, used from Amazon, drop GMOs today, drop all pesticides you can, do 6 weeks sever keto, only use pinto, black, navy beans for carbs weeks 5&6 if you lose too much weight, doooo drop coffee the 6 weeks if you can possibly and only organic coffee after. Maltodextrin is your enemy, and some must have a gut implantation of bacteria from a healthy donar. For 70% health improve when self done and about 90% recovery when placed highest in the colon by doctors. There were recoveries in 1 hour from sever cases. Invented by Seattle Dr.
Thank you for my nursery
Congratulations! It’s absolutely beautiful.
Thanks, Mike!
This was very helpful thank you 🌱
You rocked that billed Nate thumbs up doing great
Nice job. was going to do the pallet way, but your way is so much easier and less $$$$
Great job Nate
Looks great
2:29 is my most absolute favorite thing to do when carpentrying
I'm attempting my first build 2maro basically copying your build maybe with a twist but i feel confident aftwe watching so thank u
Hope the build works out for you!
Great job!
awesome job. Hope to be building a hoop house myself in May
Thanks for sharing ! )))
Thank you for watching!
It looks awesome!!
So nice project
Well done brother!! That looks great, and a nice simple build:)
I so happy you got away from those jerks at that bar in Philadelphia. Those people never appreciated your DYI skills.
Heck of a lot straighter than my lol nice build. Mine currently has 3 ft of snow on it, with a 6 in ridge beam and 2 2x2 middle supports.
Really helpful. Thanks!
Thanks for watching. I am glad to hear you found it useful!
This looks great!
Thank you!
Nice job
Might have threw bolted the top support. Vibration from wind may loosen them quick. Thanks for the ideas.
Well done. Great job
Looks gr8.good job
Hi Nate! I finally wrote the post on your hoop house took me a lot of days. Thank you so much for the support. here is the link to the post. greenhouseplanter.com/how-to-build-a-hoop-house
This is phenomenal. I will put it in the description to my videos. Thank you for doing this.
Tiny Hilltop Thanks to u too for giving me access to your awesome content. I am waiting for your upcoming hoop house. I will love to write more on it. Maybe we can discuss it sometime.
Very impressed!
I need my husband to view your article & video for my super greenhouse!
Thanks Yasinzaiii!!!
Well done! If you want a stronger frame on snow loading, I will be very glad to have a talk.
Very nice.
Sweet!
Thank you Mike!
Can you explain how the wire you used is applied to secure the poly? Thank you. Great job by the way
THey sit in channels. I fastened the channels to the hoops with metal screws. Then the plastic sits between the wire and the channel.
CHARLIE DAY WHAT UP!!!
What did you use to keep the plastic pulled tight? It looked like some kind of wavy metal? Can you show or explain that? I'm about to embark on this project.
It is called wiggle wire....
That is awesome
How's it looking now 3 years on? Great by the way.
Temperature radar! Lol. I totally understand that. It'll come back soon.
You know it was a cold winter when high 40s becomes t-shirt weather haha
Looks awesome! I’m planning on making a greenhouse to start seeds in. Debating on if I want to build something like this or get a frame with double wall poly panels. How well does this retain heat/how insulted does is stay at night when the temp outside is low?
Thank you. Double wall poly panels would be really nice. Today was 55 and sunny and I put a fan in there to cool it down when it reached 80. I haven't checked at night. We are still getting down into the 20s so they go below freezing. I am going to use these to grow veggies that can handle some frost.
Water & heat for a greenhouse are challenging. We had a very small greenhouse for growing seedlings. From January - April, we used electric heat on a thermostat to keep it around 45° at night. It never cost more than $25 a month. I filled milk jugs for watering purposes. It worked great. But the door has worn off, & we haven't replaced it.
Hey dood! My pal and I are going to start building our greenhouse this weekend and love your design. Could you send along a list of building materials 🤙💙
Most of the materials I used are listed in the description. I also used cedar boards for the baseboards.
Tiny Hilltop:Dumb questions I just love list.
Looks good. Just got my greenhouse plastic and clips for the mini removable versions of that for my 4 x 4 beds. Wondering what the best way is to do the ends so I can get in there.
To secure the plastic? The easiest would be wiggle wire, maybe.
@@TinyHilltop yeah they are clips that just clip on. Very useful. Easy to take on and off
Hi dear! Your video is really fantastic. But i have a doubt. In the minute 5:25 you use a thing for link the plastic with the tube like a cable and first, what it is? And how specificly you put that? I would like to know more about that point. Thank you very much!
That is called wiggle wire. You attach the channel to the pole, put the plastic over and the a wire fits into the channel to hold the plastic in place. Thanks!
What clip or device was used to attach plastic to the end where door was installed? This is very interesting and I will be doing this when I retire. Great idea, as I have used PVC for ages, just never thought of this . Thanks.
Hi Lee, it is wiggle wire. The link to what i used is in the description.
Great
But doesn't plastic react with PT lumber? I thought it did.
Polly Tunnel as us Irish would say.
Yeah, what did I miss, what did you use to attach the plastic to the poles. You didn't show us that. And is it leak proof.
That is wiggle wire. The link is in the description for the specefic kind I used.
Nicely explained. Can you tell me about the width of your green house. Is it exactly 12 feet ?
Pretty close. About 11 & 3/4'.
What are you using to attach the plastic to the ends of the cold frame? It looks like some kind of wire.
Wiggle wire.
@tinyhilltop great video. I have a question: Does the sunlight go through the plastic enough? Specifically, would the plants get the same/similar levels of sunlight as they would without the plastic tarp?
I believe it is something like 85% of the beneficial light makes it through.
talk to me about the poly covering, if the house is 12 ft wide and 30 ft long what size plastic did you buy? How do you calculate the amount of plastic needed? Thanks
I had this plastic that is why it isn't seamless around the ends. But, this spring I am going to put 1 sheet on. It basically boils down to width, which is length of hoops pre bend plus around 5' for safety. Then length plus height of ends x 2 plus wiggle room. For this hoophouse I will use 25 x 35, it is 12 x 19' ish.

@@TinyHilltop Thanks for the details very helpful.
Nice 👍.how long were your poles? What mil. Plastic? And what did you use to lash the plastic to the hoops? Thank you.

4 mil
Nice. What mil of plastic you use. I redone mine with 6 mil. Hope it will last 4 years.mine is 15 by 25
6 mil
Hi , thanks for the video.It s a good work you did. If you don t mind, I would like to know where did you get the poles (the link is not working, and what is the diametre and the length of one pole. Thanks a lot in advance
it is top rail from home depot
Hi. Is there any issue with sunlight going through and how is it holding up against wind? Tia
I haven't had any issues with either.
What did you use to install the plastic? It looked like some type of wire???
It is wiggle wire. The kind is used is in the description
what is he doing at 5:31? looks like wraping wire or something but not sure how that would hold the plastic?
It is wiggle wire. The channel screws to the poles, then the plastic goes over and the wire slides into the channel. The specefic kind I used is in the description
Thank you man , that’s awesome, how are you attaching the plastic to the hoop house I saw you were pushing it in at the two ends of the frame was there a groove for it to go into? Or did you make that or what was it thanks
It's called wiggle wire. Goes into a channel and tightens onto the plastic. Not clear how he fixed the channel to the hoop though.
I used wiggle wire. I used metal screws to attach the wiggle chanel to the poles. It bends easily to follow along the hoop.

Is that standard conduit you used for the arch?????

Hey mate, not sure if you're aware that someone stole your video. They're claiming it's allowed because of the Creative Commons Attribution licencing but I thought I'd track you down and double check. The RUclips channel is "Yeah Likes" and the video is called "DIY Greenhouse PVC Hoop House Tips and Tricks - A Complete Guide" and was streamed/uploaded at the start of Oct. GL
Thanks for the heads up.
great job...what did you use to attach the plastic to the pipes?
That is wiggle wire. The specefic kind I used is linked in the description
What kind of pipes are those and what size?
Top rail. Parts list is in the description.
How does the wiggle wire work?
You put the plastic over the chanel hten the wire fits inside to hold the plastic in place.
Hi look good. Question what did you use for the hoops?
It is top rail from home depot
I build them 10ft wide and 24ft long
For us that is thinking of building a green house, I have some questions. why did you cut many times in those boards. what were you doing at the end of the green house. I am new a this and I will doing this by myself. so I have been surfing the internet on how to build a green done by a woman. What would be the easiest and safest and have a sturdy way of building the green house. I have found some good idea. At least you should how to build a door. now I need to see how to build the rest like a window. it was a great show.
He made all those cuts to make it easier to chisel out the wood for his lap joint on the door frame.
The cuts were for a lap joint for the door, but you could build it another way. At the end I was using wiggle wire to attach the plastic to the hoops. The easiest way is probably buying a kit and putting it together. I have never done that. They usually tend to be a little more pricey and smaller.
What medal and how did you bend the hoops?
Top rail and I have a video on how I did that.
Hello what are the things hold8ng the hoops on the lumber called ? Thanks
Self tapping screws? I am not exactly sure what you are asking.
What is the channel at the ends called that you put the wire in to secure the plastic?
Wiggle wire.
Did you talk about your wiggle wire on a video? How did you attach it? Did you use 6 foot lengths (like on Amazon) or something else? Also, did you mention the type of plastic you used and where you sourced it? Thanks. These are very interesting videos and makes me think I could do it myself. (wherein myself = husband)
I did talk about it but it was during a wind gust. Still learning the ins and outs of filming outdoors. I am going to build another one shortly, and make that video more of a step by step. I was in a little hurry to get this one up. Thanks for watching!
I used this for locks and wiggle wire.

I attached the locks using 3/4" self tapping screws.

thank you! this is a perfect list. I rather like the name "Bootstrap Farmer". I might use it.
ooops, link to plastic is actually a duplicate of the wiggle wire. I'm looking to use a hoop house for my chickens in the winter (a hoop coop). I like the idea of them being able to scratch around when it is freezing. The place where we are getting a LGD wants to sell us a greenhouse for $$$$. I am leaning towards a much smaller one, or multiple ones like you are building. I subscribed :)
Sorry about that Brenda. Yes, I like the idea of them scratching in the winter where I will plant in the spring, too. Thanks for subscribing :)

Trying so hard to do something close to this lol
let me know if you have any questions.
@@TinyHilltop thank you :-) I'm actually debating right now about whether I should build some basic raised boxes inside before i continue on with the structure. Someone suggested hilling up the beds inside but I feel that I will have a lot of soil migration when I start watering throughout the season so sides may be needed to hold the soil in place. Thoughts?
I am a fan of disrupting the soil as little as possible. I would build some beds and mulch them heavily then let the soil build up some organic matter.
Hi Nate,.. So yesterday I decided to build some raised beds inside the structure before I finish building it as Im still waiting for some building supplies to arrive. I'm in zone 3b in sudbury & soil here is very rocky, sandy and clayey so it had to be amended with lots of triple mix. I will be adding in my own compost as well throughout the season. It's lots of work to grow here & its a short growing season but I still feel compelled to do this work all my life no matter where I live.
Hello what are the metal things called thst are holding the hoops to the wood? Thanks
Wiggle wire
could you infor what type of cordless drill that you used for this?
It is a masterforce brushless from Menards.
bWhere do you buy your tubing and what is it called I can’t seem to find any
Home depot
It is top rail for fencing.
What’s the cost if don’t mine me asking?
What was that at each end to hold the plastic?
I used wiggle wire. Thanks!

Tiny Hilltop Food Forest thanks for the info
Thank you for watching!
How did you bend the poles?
I have a pole bender. You could also make something similar out of scrap wood. The video of my bending the hoop is in the description.
How long did this take
About a week. But If I had good weather I could probably get it done in a couple days.
I have this one how to make
Where did you get your plastic?
I got it off amazon.

Oh, I wish I had checked before going out this morning - just spent $100 for our, but then again we live on a farm so it will all eventually get used.
It does come in handy. I can always find a use for it.
Is this Charlie Kelly?
I don't think so
This is awesome!! How much did it cost do you think?
Hard to say because I used a lot of parts from the one I tore down. I would guess around 200$. I am going to build a 40 foot one and do a specefic material list. Thanks for watching!
No problem, thanks for the reply! :]
Great! I like your videos. Where do you live?
Thank you! I am glad to hear that you enjoy them. I am in the United State, Wisconsin, more specifically.
Thank you for answering! I am from Serbia by the way, I will be making a greenhouse myself soon when it gets little warmer, you seem like a nice guy, keep the videos up, they are really helpful!
I will keep them up. Let me know how your build goes. Best of luck!
Will do, I live in a small town with around 40.000 ppl, but I have a house in a village 30km of my town and I have 3 hectares of land so now I am trying to do something with that, for start I am building a greenhouse! Thanx again, see ya!
Enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing. Giving me kinds of ideas.
Hatchet? Not chisel.
I used both. I chunked out the large pieces with a hatchet but smoothed the joints a little with a chisel.
