This low tunnel is a modification of the Johnny's Seeds low tunnel design using their hoop bender. This "how to" tutorial shows some of the changes that we have made to the design to better utilize these low tunnels on our farm.

Thank you for this detailed video! I'm on the fence between the LowCat Tunnels or this setup with the bender. I figure I'd need the hoops for insect netting at some point but don't have much space for storing them.

This was crazy helpful for us to refine our low tunnel setup, thank you! Do you leave the hoops in all season, or remove at some point? I am thinking through the transition point from tunnels to when plants may need netting, then going back to tunnels in the fall and making this as seamless as possible.

We remove the plastic and hoops, but leave the hoops in the ground, making it really easy to reset them at anytime!

Can you show the bracket attached to the hoop? Thanks

Is there rebar in the ground acting as receivers for the conduit? Or is the conduit sunk only in the soil?

We have the conduit in the ground. If you want to use rebar ground stakes you need to use ground plates. If you check out "farmers friend's greenhouses" videos, they use this system on their low tunnel kits.
