  • Building a mini hoop house - how to?

    Evening all,

    I wish to build some mini hoop houses to protect some plants over the winter and I was wondering how I can do this?

    I have seen people do it with PVC piping but I am not sure where to get this from.

    Are there any substitutes for this PVC piping?

    Also where can I get the plastic sheeting from?

    Thank you for your time,

    Samuel

    Blue pipe from a plumbers merchant. Disposable dust sheet also a merchant or diy store (however dust sheet is best for sheltered areas and has a very limited life span) I did have some thick plastic sheeting from a builders merchant but no idea what its real use is.

        There's always hula hoops from the pound shop, they won't last like pipe does though.

          With regards to the hula hoops how long do you reckon they will last?

              I can normally eat a packet within 3 minutes.
