- Hoops in your raised beds can help make gardening success easier. Gardener Scott shows how to make four different types of hoops using four different materials. From low hoops to high hoops, your plants can be protected. Garden hoops will support row cover fabric, shade cloth, hail cloth, plastic, and bird netting. Watch to see how to make hoops that are only 16 inches above the soil and hoops that are more than four feet high using poly tubing, PVC pipe, metal conduit, and cattle panels. (Video #98)

regarding PVC... you can make it last almost forever if you put a coat of paint on it. The UV is what deteriorates it and a coat of paint will take care of that.
Rabbits, birds....AND DEER!!!!!
You can also buy grey pvc (meant for outdoor electrical applications) it doesn't de-laminate as quickly as regular plumbing pvc!
I work at a farm/ ranch supply outlet. A cattle panel measures about 50". A hog panel is 34". The length is 16 feet. Easily cut with bolt cutters. The price should be around 22 bucks each. Ask if there are damaged panels that can be had for less. Our store always has several damaged panels waiting to find a good home in a garden bed. They will usually let you pick through the defective selection as they are rejected by ranchers. Cheers, good people. Bob
If you can not make or find a jig to bend the conduit pipe you can buy a conduit pipe bender for under $20.👍🏻
Last fall, I built a hoop house that covered both of my 4 x 8 raised gardens and the 3-foot walkway between. I connected two 10-foot, 3/4 inch PVC tubes with a t-connector using a kind of PVC glue designed for that. I made three of these, set them down over rebar, and stabilized it with furring strips on both sides. It worked, but here's what you should not do... Don't glue them as I did! It creates a garage storage problem. Also, while I liked the roominess of the hoop house, it was hard to cover with the plastic, which didn't always hold up well under snow. My errors admitted, the size of my hoop house did allow me to put a huge compost pile inside, and I was able to plant orphaned bargain perennials from my local garden center inside that were otherwise no longer sellable. They regained their vigor over the winter and I planted them all this spring. Plus, it gave me a reason to muck around in the garden in January. Fun, eh?
Easy listening, good voice and volume control. No unecessary flare or self promotion. Great simple cages shared with your fellow gardeners. Amazing. Thank you for this video, it inspired me to make my own.
If you use pvcg ( it is Grey in color for electrical ), it holds up to sunlight lasts a real long time . Valley of the sun . Temps well over 100 degrees.
We built rectangular pvc frames by using various pvc connectors. The legs of the frame are stabilized with rebar as shown in the video. The advantage is that you can make your frames as tall as you want/need. We draped nylon mesh from the fabric store over the frame. The mesh is small enough to keep out insects, strong enough to keep out rodents, and ventilated enough to allow in air and sunlight.
I like the video, since I don't have raised beds I pound rebar a little deeper into the ground, the thing is we have some of the best soil on Earth here so why would I use raised beds? Most people fill the beds with bags of "soil" from the garden store, but I like the soil I have, and if I had raised beds then I would have trenches in some parts of the yard where I moved the dirt to put in the raised beds.
I have used dollar tree hula hoops.
About the cattle panels:
I was going to buy greenhouse for $3000 but now plan is cancelled. You just saved me at least $2000. Thank you so much. Love from Australia.
Never seen such a detailed explanation ever for a garden hoop... with a demo as well!
Excellent video: no filler, tons of info clearly presented, options. A+
Considering row covers for the eggplants in the spring here in Denver. Enjoyed your presentation. No dog. No music. Only content. To the point. Thanks.
What a great teacher from a certified teacher. I am not a diy person, but I feel confident to do all these. Wow. Thank you!
Thanks for teaching me how to easily protect my plants from insects and some critters!
I love your videos! Thanks for your dedication! Tip: I took my bolt cutters and a tape measure to my local farm store and just cut up five cattle panels to length in the parking lot. Fit right in the bed of my truck and noone gave me any hassles.
I found something called a construction ladder at Home Depot that cement guys use and they make great hoops!
