The Best Easy RETRACTABLE HOOP HOUSE On The Internet



Published
This video will show you how to build the best easy retractable hoop house on the internet! This retractable hoophouse design is easy, cheap, durable, and you can do it yourself with simple tools. This design can protect your garden from frost, freezes, pests, harsh sunlight and more!

I installed this retractable greenhouse on top of my raised beds as the greenhouse design is perfect for raised bed gardening. However, you can use the same design for an earth bed. To install this retractable hoophouse on an earth bed, simply pound 3/8" rebar stakes into the ground, leave 6-12 inches of rebar sticking up from the ground, slide the PVC conduit over the rebar, and bend the conduit to make the support hoops!

I am using this retractable design as a replacement to my hinged hoophouse, because it is cheaper to build and more versatile for year round gardening. However, if you'd like a DIY hoophouse that is hinged, watch the original hinged hoop house DIY installation video here: https://youtu.be/rWasTEXj-sE
