How to Build a PVC Hoophouse

March 22, 2010

In our part of the world it is spring! We are itching to get our plants in the ground but we know there is still a chance of a freeze over the next few weeks. We do have seeds started in the house. )

Here is a neat alternative for a greenhouse.

An unheated PVC hoophouse can be a useful addition to your garden. It keeps excessive rain off the plants, blocks the wind, raises daytime temperatures 5-10 degrees (and often much more), and keeps frosts and heavy dew off the leaves. This can extend your warm-season gardening a month or more at both ends, and makes it possible for year-round gardeners to grow a wider variety of plants through the winter. This site has all the information you need to build your own!
