Hoop House Ventilation || Easy Roll Up Sides || How We Did It!

#hoophouse #HomeFreeAlaska #Gardening

Hello again friends!

Back by popular demand, Joe & I are sharing another HOOP HOUSE video with you! Ventilation is very important whether you're working with a greenhouse or a hoop house. Doesn't really matter, your plants desperately need air flow to thrive.

We did a very quick & simple modification to our hoop house, which was cutting the plastic on each side, in order to roll the plastic up for ventilation. We didn't cut the plastic, we decided to roll it up. That way in the winter time, we can roll it back down to keep the plants warm! We also added screen to keep the bugs & chickens out!

Don't forget to LIKE & SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel so we can stay connected!

Thanks for joining us today friends & if you haven't already checked out our other hoop house videos, be sure to head over to my "gardening & greenhouses" playlist! Lots of good stuff over there, to include how we installed overhead irrigation sprinklers in the hoop house for easy watering.

Good job. My daughter works at a commercial greenhouse and this is exactly what they do in warmer weather. I would suggest you roll your plastic the other way, toward the inside, so it doesn't catch and hold rain water. Dirt and algae will be a problem if the rolls of plastic are holding water.

Just finished making my wife a greenhouse with your greenhouse video. Turned out great. This is the next step. Thanks y’all.

I've seen a lot of hoop houses/greenhouses/high tunnels being built on youtube and yours is by far the most adorable one yet. You guys really did a great job on it!

[lizinkentucky]

I'm going to build one! I think we should put the screen on first when we build the frame, then use the PVC pipe to roll up the plastic.

[davidbooher]

Great build and amazing animals!
Especially your chickens 🐓

[janieterrel]

A suggestion for your sides that you rolled up…..if you taped it to 3/4 inch pvc and then rolled it up, your shade cloth ropes would hold it up, your plastic siding would not get kinked, and would roll back down for the winter to be attached easily.

Joe’s a man of few words but he gets the job done! Great hoop house.

I know this is an older video but man that looks good!!! Inspires me for whenever God blesses us with land and a homestead!

Just started building this today in Virginia. Really happy I caught this video before I got too far in.

I love how Joe does all the work and it's we did it

[montiraruba]

Great video!! I would recommend coating your bottom/foundation wood with an anti-termite coating so that you won't be losing the groundwood structure from termites or wood rot.

Handy husband you have. He's a keeper. Thanks for sharing how to build a tunnel the right way. My daughter and I are going to try and make one for this spring, we live in Calgary, Alberta Canada.

Screen for ventilation and security is brilliant! I didn't want to put plastic down on the bottom because of my chickens and other burrowing animals. I knew they would want to get inside the greenhouse but we weren't exactly sure what we would put down instead. I'm probably going to do similar to you guys, so thank you!

I am so glad I found this (extra) video that went with the first video on HOW TO make this great Hoop House (I like that name, catchy)
Thank you again for sharing all of these great videos.

Nice job. I am redoing my cattle panel greenhouse before next spring and will put the screen on even before the plastic. Great idea. A
nd love the way the farm animals are part of the family. All so happy!! So nice to see.

[lisaschmidt]

It’s awesome to see a sheep with a tail.

[lachrisiacallahan]

Y'all are so smart and awsome, thank you for all the great information.

[javiertorres-bblf]

This is EXACTLY what I want! Hot in Virginia? I'm sure it is but, try Las Cruces, New Mexico! Over 100+ degrees for weeks at at time. Anyway, this "hoop house" is exactly what I need for my cannabis plants. Nice job guys.

[TeknacoolMarketing]

Excellent video. Well done on your patience and skills Joe. Love the animals and the intimacy you all have with them.

[edmorris]

I love the screen around the base, of your Hoop House, for the Summer Months. I plan to incorporate the same idea, in mine.
