My wife has been wanting an archway for her hanging plants. This is brilliant appears to be fairly simple. Thank you for the share
Very good video! So informative, and you are great explaining the whole thing. You make it seem easy as it should be! Bravo!!! Cheers from Italy
Thanks. A video is worth millions of words. Well done.
Great video with links to where we can help ourselves! Much appreciated. Well done!
Thank you for your comments and for watching
Direct and to the point!
Thanks!
Outstanding. At 4:50 using 1 5/8 fence post into the ground to add height AND secure hoop to the earth...I was coming to the same conclusion. You just saved me some trial and error. Thanks!
You bet glad it helped
Excellent basic information - thank you so much.
Excellent video. Thanks. That's exactly what I needed
Thanks for this sharing, it helps to build a greenhouse at lower budget.
Great work sir.
You both are genius

Very good idea! My brother and I are thinking of getting property in Texas and this is the best idea yet!
Yes and not expensive, it will also hold up to the Texas winds.
@@HallsomeFarm lol, winds in sc KS can get pretty fierce too.
Thanks for the explanation!!
Still the best how to video!
Great video thanks for posting it just the kind of information I was looking for. Im going to go with galvanized pipe instead of pvc.
You’ll be happy you did.
Great idea.
Excellent video Thank you!
Thanks for watching
you make it look easy
Thanks but it really is pretty easy I hope to encourage folks to do it themselves, saves money and you feel so much better about what you've accomplished.
Very good idea ! Thank you from Russia !
Thank you, I’ve been to your beautiful country but I didn’t see any greenhouses. You’ll need to post a picture if you build one.
Thanks for showing us how to bend the pipes for the green house
You bet
Wow great Job guy's just what I needed save me thousands of Dollars and time.
Thanks guys!
thanks for sharing
Thanks for the good information!
Sure thanks for watching
Awesome info. Thanks
Thanks it works really well I have a link in the comments to where you can buy a bender.
great job very informative Thanks
Thanks you
Thanks for the great video, Should use this bender for a 24 foot greenhouse and make my bend at 6 inches. Thank you 🙏 in advance
Thanks 🙏
Great video!
Thank you appreciate you watching
looks so easy
Very good video...thank you so much
Sure thing
thanx for the idea
you bet, if you need a pipe bender I have a link in the comment area, thanks for watching
You are great 👍
Awesome Video!!!!!
Thanks
Way cheaper than buying a greenhouse kit. Thanks for the post. If you build a greenhouse the polycarbonate corrugated panels are way too expensive but layered clear plastic is significantly more affordable.
I'm interested in the triple weave as well!
Thanks, I’m interested in making an arch cabin.
I think this might work.
We’ll see.
Hope it works I have a link in the comments for the bender if that helps
Great Idea
Thank you for watching
Thanks y'all!
Very nice simple video
Thanks
If you happen to live in an area that gets a significant snowfall in winter, I suggest doing what I did. It WORKS GREAT.
I used 50" x 16' Cattle Panel and covered that top of the frame with THAT, then put on the plastic. We had 2 different
snow DUMPS of 3 feet up here in Montana, and the plastic held up perfectly. If you live in an area that does NOT get
too much snow, then you probably don't need to add the cattle panels, but it SAVED my 8 x 12 hoophouse from the
same fate as many up here faced...........total collapse of their plastic covers. It also gives you TONS of places to hang
plants, tools, and other items to keep your bench space clear.
Thanks Jack yes weather is a big problem, for us it’s too hot in summer.
Great and Thanks alot
Sure hope it helps
Dang that's clever!
Thanks it is a great way to make a greenhouse.
nice
Nice
Very nice
Thank you
I love your video. Thanks for sharing. I live in GA and will have to find a source for the pipes. What would a 12x16 cost and how is the plastic attached to the frame.
Here is a video for attaching the poly cover ruclips.net/video/yh6AYdiSs1g/видео.html
You can buy the pipe at lowes or home depot they cost a bit more but they have everything you need. I also have videos on how to build a greenhouse. There is a link in the notes area for a pipe binder. If you want the poly cover and track you can order from me i am a distributor contact me at
bob@hallsomefarm.com
Excellent technical information! Give some more information on pipe size like pipe length to get hoops of 12 ft,24 ft and so on and more close up views!!! Great information!!!
Thank you, pipes are 10’6” it takes two for 12ft and four for 24ft.
Excellent! Clear.
learn something new. Thanks
Sure hope it helps
I would like to build a 12 w 20 L 8 H greenhouse you showed in video , do you know of any pre made covers for this type of greenhouse?
Where can I get that pipe bender
Hey I was wondering if you think the green house will still be sturdy if I add a center 6’ of straight to give me a 18’ wide green house ? I can’t go up to a 20’ arch because I have a height issue.
Thank you
How was the first one made?
How do you make the bender???
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks
Thanks for the video! What spacing do you like to use for the ribs? I'm up in WI so they may need to be closer together for the snow load.
You can space 3 ft . Or 4 ft. Both ways work just fine
Thanks for that great info question about the plastic cover you sell them ?
Yes text me 512-431-5444
Well wonderful but you have not explained how the jig to be made and what arc tone
I bought the 24' and 4' on line, and made others from those two. If you only need one size just buy it. they call them hoop bienders
What is the length of pipe do you need if you want to make a hoop house for 30 ft width x 100 ft long x 12 feet high?
Unable to follow link to pipe bender.
Where do you buy your fence pipe/tubing and how much is it? Home Depot is too proud of their stuff for me, I need to check some of the other places around town and see what they've got and their price. Thanks man
You are correct HD wants too much, I buy from American Fence.
I would weld it instead of screws but i love rest of it.
👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks
what gauge galvanized top rail are you using and what gauge purline thanks Kappy
Not sure the gauge excellent question but I can tell you it is top rail chain link fence pipe. 10'6" for the bend pipe and I buy 24' for the purline. In the note I have a link for a pipe bender they are $49 makes it worth it to bind your own.
I purchased one of your large pipe benders. You stated in this video that it will bend up to 24'. How do you do this as this...24'.... is what I need?
Thanks.
You need 4 ten foot pipe put together to make a 24 hoop
How much do you sell the weave for?
Here in New Zealand I can buy 21" length pipes. Would it be better to just bend one pipe like this or buy them in 10-foot lengths and join two at a time?
The hand binder only works on the 10 foot pipe
Where buy these pipe which they can tapper in. Thanks
Look in the comment section I have a link
A Simple way to Avoiding Twisting the Pipe as you Bend it is to use a Black Marker or Crayon.
Lay the Pipe Flat, and Run the Marker down the Top of the pipe, from one end to the other.
Now turn the pipe, and place the Line in the Center-line of your Bender Tool.
When Bending and Repositioning the pipe, Keep the Line in the Center-line of the bending tool.
This will Keep the Pipe from being Twisted as you Bend.
t also helps to Align when Assembling the Pipes for the Arch.
30 Seconds extra time, which will save you $$'s and Headaches.
And possibly a Few Bad Words.
Greenhouse ? Im throwing a commercial flatbed steel tarp , made it 22 ft long and its the best boat cover you could ask for , it never touches the boat and it keeps the weather off it ...but the boat got evicted by the more expensive mini skid and scag zero turns , and im in hurricane country , but i just remove the tarp if its over 60 mph winds , and put it back afterwards ..
Suppose I want to do 16'wide. Can I just add a 6' piece of the 2 3/8" post between the two 12' diameter halves? Or, if I decide to just use taller 2 3/8" posts for the 16' bend, what is the difference when using the bender to bend 6' arcs vs 8' arcs?
I have different benders for size, but I suppose you could add half a link, bty it 13/8 pipe top rail of chain link fencing. The 15/8 pipe for the side walls I would make at least 4 to 5 foot tall and stretch the 13/8 rib into wall pipe.
@@HallsomeFarm yes 1 3/8. I have some 1 5/8 post. I'm going to bend the top rail as normal to make the arc for the 12' hoop and try the spacer. Worst case I waste $10. Thanks for the response. It's a big help to the noob. :)
Have you bent the bender yourselves, if so how did you do it?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills. Where can i buy the pipe bender?
In the video if you tap the down arrow my links show and the first one is for the pipe bender
www.bootstrapfarmer.com/products/greenhouse-hoop-bender?variant=40835315214&sscid=21k4_jt3xs
Let me add......I used FOUR cattle panels to cover the whole structure of my 8 x 12 hoophouse. Just wanted to make that
clear so no confusion.
Thanks
The price of that pipe has gone crazy the last 4 years
Where can I buy one of the pipe benders shown?
Hoop Bender, shade cloth, trays, pots and greenhouse supplies: @t
Where did you guys get the metal pipe in bulk please
American fence
I think you could put metal on that and make your carport
I want to build one of these on top of my dump trailer for leaf cleanups. The width is 83 inches I’d like to get the height to about 6 or 7 ft. Then cover the arc with a mesh tarp. The metal arc would attach to a wood base of 2 ft by 12 by 16 ft Any ideas on how I would do this would help.
I think I would use straight pipe with brackets and not bend it. 83 inches is too much bend. I would mount pipe on the trailer for the height you want and then connect both sides with a straight pipe.
@@HallsomeFarm
I have a 16 ft big Tex dump trailer . 14LP is the model number. I want to mount pipe to the extended wood sides that are 2ft high. Then put a mesh tarp over the pipe that arches over rather than build up the wood which adds tok much weight.
Then I would use pvc pipe or bend a metal pipe with the 12’ arch then bend the excess at the end straight down to mount to the wood. Hope that helps
Hello. did you use galvanized steel? If yes, do you think I can use ordinary pipes i.e non-galvanized
I just used chainlink pipe it’s made for outdoor
Would have likedto seethe bending device up close
I have the link in the notes
Where do you buy the woven plastic? How much is it?
We have the greenhouse cover custom fit to your need, price is 38 cents a square foot. I am a distributor for the material, you'll also need the ploy track and scench strap to go along with the cover. I can be contacted at bobf.hall@gmail.com if you want a quote.
Do i need to make a 6 inch mark if i want to use three poles per rib or do you recommend another measurement?
To make a bigger greenhouse you need to buy the right bender. 2 pipes bent to make a 12’ wide gh. 2 &1/2 pipes for a 16’ gh, and 4 pipes for a 24’ gh, but each has a different bender.
Hallsome Farm thank you, what type of bender would you recommend for the 24 foot
What kind of pipe
Chainlink fence pipe
Good job with the video. Where could I order a bender?
www.bootstrapfarmer.com/products/greenhouse-hoop-bender?variant=40835315214&sscid=21k4_jt3xs
How many feet from the bottom of the Pole are at end to end using the 12' Poles
The with is 12’ the height 6’ but you can add to the height with the ground post
Do you buy or make the bender forms? Thanks....
Buy them a link is in the comments
Can you state the dimensions and the steel ,thickness, diameter etc
What is the angle around?
Not sure but the arch is 12’
So it takes 2 12 foot pipes to make a 12 foot wide greenhouse?
Two 10 foot pipe
I tried to avoid the cost of the bender, but I eventually broke down and bought one. I tried the bender in the Lowes store. I took that back. I bought the low tunnel bender from Johnny's. i still don't know how much EMT to stick thru the bender and then start to bend? I bent some last year and this is my second year having my tunnel up. I found with the 6 mil plastic and the winter I never got out there to water, end result I lost my plants. I used (15) and (19) wt. Agribon, but they ripped. I recently got Xavan 15' X 50' which is a Dupont product. I can see in the box that it is A LOT stronger than the Agribon. I will try it in the spring bc it is too cold up north. My Agribon (19) has a hole in the top of unknown origin? Perhaps I pulled the Agribon too tightly? I had to clamp (2) Agribon sheets together to cover the width bc I bought 83". My low tunnel is 79" across so that is why I have to put (2) sheets together. I got a Jang seeder so now I can seed as much as I want to and make patterns. I am looking forward to using the seeder. The down side, as I can see so far, is that I can not plant flower seeds with the Jang, but I'm sure i'll figure it out. That guy is smart to have you bend the pipe bc just getting to the realization and acceptance that you need a bender to accomplish a greenhouse can take days of frustration like I spent.
A bender is the best way to go, in bending any pipe extend 6” past the pipe band, in case of the 4’ emt bend after making the first bend take the pipe out turn it around and bend the second half just like the first, comes out perfect every time. So far my agribon cloth has worked for me, but we don’t get snow here. Thanks for the comments
I believe I purchased my bender from lostcreek.net
"i still don't know how much EMT to stick thru the bender and then start to bend?"
The first X" remains Straight. That bit goes into the pipes you set in the ground and is fastened into the vertical 'ground pipe' that holds each end of each hoop in place. He uses six-inches in this video. I suspect this is not critical, but needs to fit into whatever you are using to hold the hoop ends to the ground.
A hoop is basically half of a circle. so, you find the width of the hoop at ground level and this is the DIAMETER. Half of that is the RADIUS. To find how much (length(s)) of pipe, you need to find the CIRCUMFERENCE of the CIRCLE with a RADIUS = one-half the width of the hoop at ground level and add 2 times the amount of pipe left straight (say six inches twice, so add 1 foot).
Since CIRCUMFERENCE = Two x Pi x RADIUS, the length of pipe required would be equal to .5* (2 *Pi*r)+12" in this case.
Charles Senf I've accepted that I'll never have the perfect bend. What I've bent is doing very well for my GA Collards. I've used (18)" rebar, but I've thought about getting a lil longer so my low tunnel can sit higher. I may grow Brussels Sprouts next winter. I guess I should put (6)" in, then start bending. The Xavan is doing good, no tares.
