Kewl idea. Just a suggestion. I was part owner of a construction company in Florida, where it rains every day at noon just about. When you'r4e using visqueen, which is the plastic you're using here, take the 1x2 and roll it underneath the visqueen a few times then pull that tight when you've removed enough slack. That does a couple things. This will remove a lot of the moisture seepage, keep the wood from rotting and create an even better barrier for pests. Another trick is to use two 1x2's and loop the visqueen under the first 1x2 and over the second. That would allow you to more easily make adjustments and it braces the plastic between two breaks creating an even distribution for the plastic to be held making it much less likely to expand at the screws and tear. Another thing you can do is add a small lip with an overhang of the plastic using 1x4 strips on the three sides that don't have hinges. That will create a better run off and keep the wood under the plastic from rotting for much longer. Simple tricks to make your building last longer. Hope this helps a bit man! 😁
Wow! Thanks for this suggestion for an already awesome project!
@@LovenPeace2 Hey, thanks! There's something to be said for those grunts and old school construction workers. If I didn't have a face for radio I might actually try a tube of my own. LOL!
Christopher, there is no such thing as a "face for radio" 🤗. Really, please give it a go!
@@wandarzimmytLOL, Thanks again!

This felt like a Minecraft tutorial.A good minecraft tutorial. Material list, step-to-step, detailed explanation and even tips on how to upgrade your farm in the late game. Top stuff, lad
Funnily enough I randomly ended up here from a minecraft tutorial
Building a hinged hoop house is an excellent way to extend the growing season of your raised bed garden. It is a simple and cost-effective project that can be completed in a weekend with just a few basic tools. The first step is to measure the length and width of your raised bed garden, and then gather the necessary materials. You will need PVC pipes, elbow joints, screws, hinges, and clear plastic sheeting.
Do you seal and with what that food safe?
I saw a great idea on another hoop house video:. Install an extra handle on the raised bed below the handle for the hinged top. That way if it's windy, you can loop a bungy cord through to keep closed (or to keep critters out).
I’ll be using this one. I’m also adding a flip up strut to hold it open while working.
Prigione...😁
I watched this video last year and made 3 hinged hoop houses for my elevated raised garden beds.
You're a great instructor, I had a TON of fun building them and they worked! ❤️
Let's Gooo!!
@@jamesprigioni youre so funny. the energy you bring to gardening. its so different. The same energy I have when wakeboarding. Too bad youre not in MN, we could be friends
we made two today and indeed it was fun. me and hubby love doing stuff like this together.....the more we do, the better we get.
Beautiful build. We'll be a free people when every family has a couple of these beds to grow year round.
I've been avoiding watching this video for a couple weeks as it keeps showing up in my youtube recommendations. Afterall, how difficult is it to build a PVC hoop cover for a raised bed? Nothing to it and who needs a video? Boy, am I glad I finally took the time to watch. It's a great video and demonstrates a simple, reliable, way to accomplish the task - far better than I would have done trying to rig something up on the fly,. Thank you!
I watched this video the first time a couple of years ago. I want to thank you for your design. I have four that I built exactly like yours and they have held up great.
How’s the temperature inside the greenhouse? I’m trying to grow year round. Do I have to wait for the right season or can I use the greenhouse and manipulate the environment???
@@neilanderson7147 Most years we can grow from mid March till the end of October I’m the greenhouse. This year we had rain just about everyday for two months and hardly anything grew well inside and out except celery, cabbage and lettuce.
You could always try and turn it into a hotbed if you can get your hands on some manure...
This was fantastic, thanks James for a great tutorial. We built one looking at your video and I'm delighted how it turned out. It's remarkable just how warm it is inside. Am looking forward to winter harvests now!
Man this is so awesome! My wife would love one of these. You did an amazing job and thought of just about everything building this. Thanks for the tips and hope to start my own soon.
outstanding job! I watch almost ZERO RUclips because I can't stand silly people who go too slow and yip-yap too much. Love the way you deliver concise and clear visual instructions.
I really appreciate you breaking down the math and teaching us in a format that we can pause, take notes, and then apply to not only this project but many more. Thankyou!
Wow, brilliant design, brilliant teaching demonstration, so impressed. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Great video! I appreciate that every minute of the video was instruction so we didn't have to wait while you went for supplies, do a lot of cutting, etc. All pure how-tos! Great job! Thanks.
WOW, this is the best hoop house video I have ever seen. I am 64 year old grandmother and will be making the box and the hoop house this weekend. You are such a great teacher. Wish me luck. I am in Ohio and my plan is to grow all of my salad vegetables through the winter for my grandson and myself. I look forward to your future videos!
62 and a Grandma too. First year growing more than tomoatos!
James after watching several videos, this was the best hoop house tutorial. Im a female but i feel empowered by your video to construct this hoop house. The only thing I think I want to do different is use material covering that is breathable, and allows for air, sunshine, and rain to get through, yet still protect against critters and pests. A million thanks. Your videos are high quality and pleasant to watch due to great video editing.
Also, a couple of comments up someone had a great idea about rolling the plastic (netting for us) to make it tighter and thicker at the opening to keep bugs out.
James, your generosity of spirit is unparalleled. Thank you for sharing your depth of knowledge, it is super helpful. ❤️💙💛🇨🇦
Not sure why anyone would thumbs down such a clean and precise tutorial Thanks, great job!
Logic suggests the main reason is; Simply, jealousy.
I think it is because he used too many difficult words, like radius and pi.
So many keyboard warriors out there. There's not a video I watch on RUclips that doesn't have thumbs down. Mean people suck and there's a ton of them. This was an amazing tutorial!
Humans have a garbage gene. Some humans struggle to keep it suppressed.... :)
I agree 💯 percent. To many negative people in this world.
I've been getting my backyard ready for this for weeks. I just finished the first one of four. Looks great, I love it! Thanks for the video! You're very easy to follow.
Thank you for this!!! We built one this weekend. I'm so grateful for your video. It was perfect!
James I've been watching your videos now for about a year - I just subscribe - love your interaction with Tuck, and the information you are providing is timeless - thanks so much for your continued focus to helping me become a self reliant gardener!
Thank you! And yes would appreciate seeing second layer.
I Totally got something out of this! I've been wanting a hoop house or two on my raised beds & after watching this video I know it's something I can easily do by myself. Thank you so very much.
I don't have a house yet, but I've been thinking about building something like this when I get one. Your idea is way better than what I had brewed up in my mind! I especially like the idea of double layers!
I built this on one of my raised beds ( I did the single layer, I will install the second one next year) I love how it extended the grow season in the fall last year... I have garlic over wintering in there now!!! We Love it and thanks for all your great ideas and help!!!
by far the easiest and most straight forward hinged hoop house video ive seen. thank you for including the list of materials ! i'll definitely be recreating this
Holy shit. Someone that actually predrills holes like suppose to. So many don't. Split wood.
Yeah well I used to be the guy who didn’t and split the wood. Had to learn the hard way, but finally learned lol. Thanks for watching bro
@@jamesprigioni Totally agree ... although you now can get screws that drill themselves ... awesome ... screwfix direct .... "gold screws " .. I think that's what they are called .... but you'll see them on the website ....
Fantastic instruction James! I’m definitely going to do this next year when my yard remodeling projects have been completed enough to allow me to focus and enjoy my garden beds. Thank you so much for taking the time to video the steps. Very helpful!!!
I've never heard of a Hoophouse before and I am seriously blown away by this Video.Fantastic explanation, clear instructions totally Brilliant.Thank you James
I grow my own herbs, and some fruit. Nothing crazy. You have helped me with my raspberries, and my 2 fruit trees. I wouldn't care if your channel was about collecting stamps. Anyone who is as enthusiastic about their craft as you are, gets my respect. I always wait anxiously for your next upload. Thank you.
Ditto...James is a very intelligent enthusiastic young man who displays wisdom, true love and passion for not just gardening but expanding his knowledge and improving the lives of hisself, his family and anyone willing to listen and implement his instructions. Kudos to him and happy gardening to you.
To you too; happy gardening! :-)
can you get an email when the new one is posted? I'm a little uninformed on this.
ditto!

This brings back so many beautiful memories with my grandma when we had raised beds and we used old window instead of the plastics and we did use that types of plastic on the sides. Thank you I have a good place to place a garden but have not had anything to give me incentive until now.
This is by far the simplest to follow plan I’ve seen. A huge THANK YOU!! from those us who are mechanically challenged.😅 Your videos have been my gardening 101, 102, and so on. I have referred MANY other new gardeners to your channel. Thanks for ALL you do (and Tucker🥰).
Best hoop cover I’ve seen. Great tutorial to follow up on to get the correct lengths measured when making your own. Thanks for making it!
DUde your energy is so tight! We're closing on a house with a huge garden lot and I'm beyond excited to get some things built!
Awesomeness 👍. I'm building as many of these as I can. Especially in the times we are living in now. Thank you and everyone else who shares this knowledge. It's time to get growing cause we're going to need to feed ourselves and possibly our neighbors.
The PERFECT instructional video! It's sooooo difficult to find videos that don't have all that jibber jabber BS and you end up wasting so much time trying to find the info you need. This was presented CLEAR, CONCISE and EASY to understand, even for a beginner! THANK YOU!
Thanks…I am visual learner and 64 year old gardener, I could do this from memory. Very easy and encouraging.
Well done! When I did this a few years back I learned that even with our moderate temps in Oregon, we don't get enough sun. Now that the weather patterns have changed, I might just try this again.
this is brilliant. The world needs such brains .thank you for sharing
Love the production! Is there an equipment list for the build?
Genius idea. Solves so many issues that as a newbie I know I'll encounter and now I can preempt! Detailed, percise, clear, good energy; a perfect tutorial. Thank you thank you thank you!🥰🤩❤😊🤗
Great instructional. If you want something with a little more UV resistance than the white PVC, PVC conduit (gray) is rated for exterior use and will not get brittle as quick with seasons of exposure.
Super tip! I was just about to ask about the long term alternatives to white PVC!
This was one of the best tutorials I have found on building a greenhouse! I wish I saw this before I assembled mine, but look forward to trying this method next year or in the fall! :D
👍

Hello. Christine
You explain so nicely and thoroughly the WHY's behind what you are doing- truly appreciate it! Thank you!
James, I’ve been watching you for several videos now and I’ve come to the conclusion that you are amazingly sharp with your knowledge of gardening but your knowledge of construction in excellent. I like the way you explain why you do what you do and why you do it. I’m learning great stuff from you. I’m lucky in that I garden because it’s my passion & because I want to help others to learn these skills along with other blue collar craftsman skills. Thank you for sharing and teaching…
Just what we need. I saw your vid of another design you had done and was looking to rewatch it, but found this one which is just perfect... can be a double layer for our cold winters. Thanks!
This is James without a doubt the best tutoria I have seen on building a hinged hoophouse. Thank you so much for creating this. Once I work out how to put a timber edging on my colorbond raised bed I shall be doing what you showed us. Giant 2 Thumbs Up 👍👍
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS WONDERFUL VIDEO!! We are going to actively garden now that the whole shut down is in effect. I DO live in the PNW region of Humboldt Co. near the ocean by 1 mile. I will need to see that wind issue segment for the greenhouse. My teen son and his forester dad will help me and my daughter with the math. You made it all seem so completely doable and for me that is a great plus. Happy Easter. Blessings.
Looking forward to adding these to a new accessible garden we are putting in at work... and the double layers will add at least 2 zones to our zone 5...greens and herbs all witer!
Thank you, James. This video was spot on with instructions and details. My husband and I just made one today. So very happy on how it turned out. Thank you.
This is awesome and your enthusiasm is infectious. I’m going to definitely try this. Thank you!
Dear James,
Your presentation and instructions on how to make a "Hoop House" are clear, concise, informative, very useful and user friendly. Excellent job, young man. Simply wonderful!
The summers are cool on the island in which I live, in the Pacific Northwest. I believe I will implement your design for growing melons this upcoming summer. And in addition, utilize the same design to make a "Hoop House" using floating row covers instead of plastic for keeping pests at bay.
Keep up the good work young man. May God continue to bless you.
Have a very Merry Christmas :-)
Mrs. Kathryn S.
You said it perfectly, Mrs. Kathryn! Thank you, James!
Thank you @@sherrymurphy-kleine4592 and have a very Merry Christmas yourself. :-)
Yes indeed
@@GreenOrganicLove Thank you for watching. May the Lord continue to bless you into a properous and joyous New Year.
hey ,if anyone else is searching for build your own small greenhouse plans try Lomonting Easy Greenhouse Mentor (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my partner got cool results with it.
You are just so quirky and totally AWESOME!!! Thanks for sharing your gardening wisdom.
I can't wait to build this. I've watched this video plenty and taken notes. I love all your videos. They really make my day much better!
This is by far the easiest hoop house, I tried several but the snow took them out. I’m definitely trying these. Thanks great video.
Hello lrene
You have no idea how much I appreciate that you didn't make me watch you cut wood and drill holes. Just got right to the point! THANK YOU!!!!!!
I can watch your channel for hours. Great information, and very easy to understand. I'm a semi new gardener. I've learned so much in the past couple years watching your videos. You the man James!!
Thank you for the detailed plans! Just built one today and I'm using netting to protect my fall cabbage plants. After I harvest those I will swap the netting for visqueen for winter plants.
Brilliant!!
My wife wants me to start one in the morning!
Thanks for the ideas!

Hello Lara
South Jersey viewers here! My 4-yearvold son and I recently found your videos, thanks for sharing your expertise! We can't wait to add to our garden!
Thank you for all the tips and tricks! I'm from Belgium so i do live in another climate zone, but i Learn so much from you! I just finished my first raised bed and got the pvc pipes from the store yesterday. Lets go make that hoop! 🤩 I did not find the T-pieces or the closed caps, but i'm gonne try to drill a hole in the frame itself and glue it with some woodglue. Its not too windy where i place it and i hope the plastic will also help to keep the frame in place. It' a trial and error proces i suppose, but i'm having so much fun with it! Thank you and keep up the fantastic work! 🤩
Absolutely loved the way you designed this. It is very evident that gardening makes a smarter version of us in so many different creative ways. I really enjoy how fast you get to the point, and get the job done. I have never gotten bored of watching your gardening videos. Keep up the smart, healthy and inspiring lifestyle.
Hi.. Interesting..
What is the purpose of doing this?
This is one of the best "how-to" videos on any subject I've seen on RUclips. Well done.
I agree with you...
Agree
@@rhondab2431 I 3rd that!
I agree 100%
Thank you so much for adding in exactly how to figure the length needed for the arch. It made it so much easier to figure out what I need for short or taller hoops. I just need to find the arch length needed and then add for taller sides… ie. 4’ sides would add 8’ on to the arch length number… or 2’ sides would add 4’ to the arch total. You made that math for the arch easy! Never thought I would need pi, but still remembered it (3.14) all these years later. We are using conduit on some and PVC on others and I really needed to be able to figure out the lengths needed before buying. Thank you! Love these double layered beds!
Just got my longed for first raised bed aged 77!. Your instructions were excellent. I will certainly be making one. Thank you.
Great job, James and Tuck! I have made several of these this past fall using a "cathedral" shape (think two parallel uprights with a triangle shaped roof - 4 pieces of pvc) as I live in Michigan and this cathedral shape does a great job shedding snow. I'm still harvesting lettuce, spinach, swiss chard, mache and beet tops in my zone 6 garden and it's almost January! Keep 'em coming guys!
shelly anding say, do you hand water and if so.. how often over the winter?
Do you have a video or pictures to share. I live in Colorado and your design may be better option for me.
That is saying a lot! Winter is no joke in your neighborhood. Way to go!!
Never thought I’d need to use pi outside of school
Everything is Maths!

THANK YOU SO MUCH for making these videos. I've been so frustrated fighting bugs, slugs, and too cold temperatures up in Alaska. This is great, I'm so excited to build these for our garden here! Thank you!
Wow this is incredible !!! You were so perfect w explaining n showing us how to actually build this. Thank you. You made it look so easy. The hard part is measuring n cutting the pieces of wood. Thanks !!
I have had so much trouble with my low tunnel. This seems very doable for me. Thank you for sharing!
Appreciate the work you put in For us on your weekend!! Keep it up, I’m learning so much. I’ve watched the food forest phases twice through! Gonna try to mulch before it starts to snow!
Love your ideas for keeping the harvest going through the winter season. I live in Chicago and is really cold and windy. Thank you for sharing and teaching us how to create one.
Thank you so much! You are an excellent instructor. I really appreciate your attention to details: considering the twist in the wood, pre-drilling and mentioning the type and size of screws, leaving room for caps for the second layer, etc. And, as a true craftsman, you were certain to employ a highly qualified Canine Supervisor. Good Job Tuck. 🤗👏
I am really impressed with the simplicity and the ease of this design. I will try building this with my son during this quarentine times
indeed
I’d love a video on what you grow in these hoop houses and how to prep one for growing plants
i first saw this video a couple years ago and loved the concept. now i am ready to build my own, and i referred back to this because this is what i want to build. thank you james, i love the simple design. great job on the video too.
Just built this for a 4x8 box, it looks nice. Hope it works well. Thank you James for the great instructions! It was fun to build too.
Will be doing some this year. I’m going to put the straps at the ends for high wind, but for the prop post, I’ll have to where it attaches to the lid on one end and to the box on the other -so it doesn’t fall when the wind moves the lid. Or maybe have three props that attaches: the middle prop to hold lid up while putting the outside props up and down. I really like your design; it’s really straightforward, and one person -friendly.👍
True Star if you make the straps that hold it open so the lid opens further you won’t need the prop sticks, gravity will hold it open. Also screwing the hinges into the end grain of the 2x4s eventually the screws will just pull out of the end grain, you want the screws into the side grain of the 2x4 less likely to become stripped out. Annnnnnnd you can add a hook and eye closure so you don’t have to worry about wind lifting it open or rodents getting in. PVC glue for the hoop frame wouldn’t hurt either. And when building the frame I would recommend using a Kreg jig and pocket screwing the frame together.....ohhhh and I would also recommend using more than just the 2 hinges. The design as it is with the style hinge he showed you could add many more. I would advise at least 3 more.
I was thinking exactly the same about the prop which will fall when wind blows further then lid slam down. Other wise great video. Yes 2nd layer video would be cool.
Saw your post sometimes you might beable to uses bent metal pipes instead of plastic pvc if your willing to spend a little more and the frame will be more structurally sound. The plastic comes in tons of different strengths but i imagine you need to consider how much lighting can come in. Because if its strong with no lighting penetration then you would have to switch out with different plastic. Not experienced as this guy but i have good ideas take them with a grain of salt, do your own research. Best of luck.
@@jessechase7033 An additional hinge in the middle could be beneficial. Any more than that is overkill. It's only purpose is to keep the 2x4 from bowing over time. The hinges don't hold any weight so any additional hinges are merely to keep that side of the frame straight.
I will have to do the same, we are in farm country and on a hill over looking farming community. I am concerned about the wind. Please share what you have done for wind construction. thank you
Have seen so many "instructions" on building one. Yours was the clearest, best and concise how-to vid on making one from start to finish!! Thanks! :)
cc cc true
Well done!
Also most expensive in materials
@@MrGlk I actually have everything on hand to make one of these. It will cost me nothing but labor.
Check and try agfabric insect netting，hope it can help you. www.agfabric.com/collections/insect-netting
James I'm so glad you shared this hoop design. I saw it in one of your other videos and thought I would love to have one. Thanks for video replete with all the sizes and accoutrements involved in the process!
great job. I've seen allot of these and yours is the best I've seen.
Отличная идея! Вы молодец! Попробую сделать такую. Спасибо за мастер класс!
This is great, well done, well edited! I used all pvc to build a similar light frame, just covered with chickenwire for a mobile day coop in my yard for growout chicks. Let them out of night coop, they run all flapping noisy stampede across the yard like you'll never see them again, then they turn and do the same coming back, repeat! Lol. Then pour morning ration in day trough in the mobile coop, they run in, you lower it. Keeps them contained where you want them in your yard or garden. Note, chicken wire is barely a slowdown to any determined predator, so an outer barrier like yard fence or else reinforcement on the mobile pen is critical to prevent loss.
I think this might be our solution for winter green growing. Its on the list for the coming year! Great tutorial!
M still impressed by your flawless way of talking without Um, euh, and reappearing syllables or having pauses after each sentence which I always do.
Excellent video like always
That's because he literally copied this video from another RUclipsr.. basically word for word plagiarism
ruclips.net/video/1qwyFEmTsmM/видео.html
@Jennifer Mathis The link Freeman posted is of a guy who did this 3 years ago. Freeman doesn't have a channel. I suggest subscribing to both as they are both great channels
@@freemanacres5477 Hiw you know it's true? be careful when you judge others.taje care.😱😱
Freeman Acres are you suggesting that no content creator can ever make another video about a subject if someone else has made one before? Just because two videos have the same subject, it doesn’t mean one is a copy of the other. Especially when it comes to the finite world of gardening. No one has claim over hoops houses, or the teaching of how to make them. You clearly have a gross misunderstanding of what plagiarism means.
James, thanks for being the first gardener on RUclips that I don't have to play at 1.25x to understand as an NJ native. Great design that I'll be building before the frost!
😂😂😂 dont do us like that family
wow!! We just built two of these. I'm stoked to get the 3 benefits from these little structures. How awesome. Thankyou James for this idea.
You have a lot of energy! I love the design of these hoop houses, thanks for showing us how to make them!
Here I am again 1 day after winter solstice and I’m waiting for spring again so I can get back in the garden and try it once again. Last year’s garden didn’t do well. Hoping for better luck in 2020.
Very nice plans. I wrote the list down so I can make one for my one raised bed. Thanks. I’ve wanted to do this but didn’t know where to start. I think I may add one thing though. A washer inside the cap so the screw doesn’t pull out of the cap. Not that it will but just in case. Thanks James.
I like the quick version and easy to understand. Great job James. Thank you for your contribution to society.
THANK You! Even an old 72 year old understood the instructions! A little cold out there today, but as soon as it warms up, am building two for a "Kitchen Garden" for next winter, next to my back door!
I'm happy to see videos continuing into the winter months!
And me and Tuck are happy you are enjoying them. We are having fun making them even on the off season 😁🐕❤️
That was very clear, and professional. I'm going to the same almost the same method to build a small greenhouse over the roof. But I'll need to find a solution to handle winds
Add a clear lid (plastic over a 1x1 frame), hinges and a hasp!
I'm going with a door to produce flexibility Wind will be a factor.
My assumption is that a wind diverter might be better, or at least more flexible. Not sure for now.
@@gregre052 Something rounded or domed... am in a similar predicament with winds. Trying to figure out how aircrete might be part of my solution.
Brilliant! Simple, clear, effective. Thank you👏👍
Brilliant! Must have a go. So easy to follow - and wish I’d known the trick for placing the hinges before I put the lid on my cold frame. At least I now know how to make the repair… Thank you!!
Excellent idea for the winter. Very good instructions. Thank you so much. Best to you and yours over the holidays.
Did this following the video and it turned up great! I did it with a mesh instead of plastic but it worked just as well.
Was the mesh for the tree rat bastards?
made this over a 6x12 raised bed and it turned out perfect. going to do another one for the second raised bed as well... thanks for the video
My husband I just finished making two of these. I put floating row covers on them instead of plastic for this spring. I want to harden off my seedlings in them and I want to protect my squash and leafy greens from bugs. I’m in north Georgia so I may switch out for plastic for fall/winter crops. I loved the video. It was fast but very detailed. 👍
You can't use these to exclude bugs and still get any squash: Bees need to get to the flowers to pollinate them to get any squash. You would have to leave them propped open every day there are flowers, which with squash would be all summer! But they would be great for growing greens all winter, since they don't need pollination. Which is how the author used them.
Excellent video! I've been telling my wife that we need to do this and now I know how. Very well presented. Thanks so much.
