Mobile Hoophouse: Building from Scratch
Here's an informative slide show of a mobile hoophouse building workshop that occurred at the p.e.a.c.h. Community Farm in 2011 and subsequent construction.
When complete, the 48' hoophouse, which straddles four beds, will be able to be moved to four different locations along a 200' track. See the book "Winter Harvest Handbook" by Eliot Coleman for detailed information on using mobile hoophouses.
The P.e.a.c.h. Community Farm has a tubing bender (pictured in this slide show) that can be rented out for $10/day plus a $100 deposit. It can save you hundreds of dollars when you construct your own hoophouse, mobile or stationary. Contact us for details.
The slide show will start by itself and you can control it too.
