The Best Easy RETRACTABLE HOOP HOUSE On The Internet

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 built one of these last spring. It has lasted through ridiculous (Texas) heat, strong rain storms and has done a great job at protecting my lettuce bed. I am making them for the other beds as soon as it warms up.

Great video! Thank you for posting! Blessings, health, prosperity and peace to you and yours and to all who read this! 😘👍😇💖

Built a 30 foot long continuous hoop house with this great design. Working on the ground, I used 1' long 1/2" rebar I enameled and drove 8" into the ground as anchors for the purlins - inspired by your shade house hoops. Thanks for the great DIY designs and inspiration!

[PeteCorp]

Always good ideas. Thanks for the inspiration.

[lindabranch]

Love this one, I was hesitant on the other one, this looks like something I can add to my beds. I am a big fan of row covers and use them. This will really help me with my tomatoes, again thank you so much.

[TomboiTravels]

It's all a setup!!! The destroyed wrapping paper perpetrators are long gone and Dale alone has taken the fall! #FreeDale
Thanks for showing the plastic vs. the agricultural fabric as covers 💚💚
