Quickly sharing the basics of the mini hoop house design I’m using. Thanks to @jamesprigioni for initial inspiration🔥Material I used for a mini-hoop house to go over a 4ftx10ft (1.2x3m)
3 – 10ft lengths of 2×3 Timber
2 – 10ft lengths of roofing batten 25mmx50mm
2 – 4ft lengths of 2×3 Timber
2 – 2ft lengths of 2×3 Timber
8 – 3m lengths of alcathene pipe 22mm thick
2-3 – Door Hinges
UV Plastic sheeting 16ft x 6ft to allow for plenty of overhang (polytunnel plastic)
80mm nails/screws
40mm nails/screws
Any tape (electrical tape works well)
Thin Wood strips 2.4m 28ft in total (any lengths)
Nails longer than the wood strips
Piece of wood for ventilation
Note – use stainless steel screws and hinge to allow you to easily take the hoop house off one bed and install on another bed 🌿

Love that!!
Yo Huw next time you want a working holiday come to Canada. We can chase bears and build one of these for me!
love it! how do you secure the plastic pipes to the wood?
This is an GREAT way to grow lettuce and other greens in the winter time. Most amazing Christmas salads!
This is fantastic! I have two 3×6 elevated beds on my patio and need these! Going to build this weekend.
Thanks!
Thank you for your simple design
