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 am using this retractable design as a replacement to my hinged hoophouse, because it is cheaper to build and more versatile for year round gardening. However, if you'd like a DIY hoophouse that is hinged, watch the original hinged hoop house DIY installation video here: • How To Build A Smart H...

This is a great design I might try for my winter raised garden bed down here in NE Texas but with a plastic sheeting to protect when we get into the mid and lower 20s. I’ll see how to adapt this to my bed design. The 3 lateral struts you have a great for adding stability and structure to the whole thing. I like the clamping of the larger pvc tubing over the smaller to keep the sheeting in place. Great idea!

Dude! What a great invention! Plus I'm liking the versatility of the agricultural cloth vs the plastic. I built my first raised bed couple years ago, 3'x3'x12'. Before I filled the box with soil, I cut 8 pc of 2" conduit (f/ReStore) 3 feet long each. I stood them up inside the box, one per corner + 2 spaced evenly along the length, both sides, where my vertical supports were (walls are made of corrugated metal, supported by 2x4s). I back-filled the soil against them. The walls of my box + the soil hold them in place, so no need for straps or screws, I hope. Piggy-backing on your design, I will insert 1/2" conduit into my vertical 2" pieces, then proceed w/your slide-n-glide idea. I had assumed I was gonna be constantly removing and re-installing the cloth. The ends of the side-to-side bent 1/2" conduit won't be permanently attached to the raised bed box. That may be a bad thing or maybe it'll prove to have some advantage?? I'll make those 1/2" curvy pieces extra long so I can stick each end all the way to the interior bottom of each vertical 3'x2" piece, thus distributing the stress down the whole depth of the box. Really appreciate your channel. This old lady is learning a lot from you, young man. Thx to you, I'm gonna try garlic this winter and cukes and determinate tomatoes next year.🤞

@@TheMillennialGardener Your screws are unlikely to rust out, since they're on the outside of the beds. I installed PVC conduit sockets for trellises in raised beds years ago, and I put them on the inside before filling the beds with soil. After 25 years the 2x8s decayed enough that I tore them down but was surprised that only a few of the screws were severely rusted. The screws were just standard plated #10 screws.

Love the retractable feature. I'm going to try this as I really want to use the frost fabric in winter and then switch it out to bug netting in spring - keep those white moths and squash bugs outta my life, lol.

@TheMillennialGardener 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks! I will say this: the fabric is only good to protect against frost, not freeze. It'll keep your tender annuals alive the first few frosts that happen in the 33-36F degree range, but as soon as it drops below 32F, it'll freeze through. It bought me about 2 weeks extra, but once we hit 28F as our "first freeze," everything was totally cooked. Don't expect huge gains in the cold season with this design. However, it will protect your plants all spring and summer long from pests and sunburn. That's why I love this design. Warm weather crops won't ripen in my climate anyway, so it's pointless to try and limp tomatoes along in January. However, this will give me an enormous advantage in the summer, because I lose so much of my crop to pest damage and the sun just destroys everything.

@curiouscat3384 2 жыл бұрын

@@TheMillennialGardener Yes! I don't really expect lettuce or tomatoes to grow Jan-Mar here but definitely the brassicas (very important to me) should do okay. I watch some KZfaq homesteaders in the Asheville area and they are using Agribon-50. Much milder climate and hardly any snow here in the Piedmont so I'm ordering Agri-30. Are you going to use the fabric in the summer? Won't that cut out essential UV's for fruiting?

While the greenhouse film may be a little more advantageous in January, the fabric vents better all year, and can triple as both an insect guard in the summer, and provide shade when our sun is scorching in July and August. This will also help me set more tomatoes, since our summers are too hot to set tomatoes in July and August.

Instead of the rigid conduit clamps that don't quite fit, get a roll of galvanized pipe hanger "tape". You can cut it to fit, and it's extremely versatile.

Dale. Very interesting design. Kudos! I'm researching this and similar designs because I have high temps, 90-100 degrees for 3-4 months almost every day in summer. So I think the shade cloth will help protect from sunburn, and hopefully allow enough air flow to keep it from overheating. My other concern is the critters that I need to keep out: gophers, squirrels, rabbits, deer, rats or mice. So I'm wondering if the retractable method is better for sealing the raised bed from critters than the hinged hoop top is. What do you think? Geo

@user-yc9tj1um9c Жыл бұрын

I love this! Can’t wait to try it. I do have one question (and I apologize if this has already been asked)… Why did you use a different fabric for the ends than you did for the retractable part? Or are they just slightly different weights of the same material?

@TheMillennialGardener 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you. It definitely is original...I’ve been designing this in my mind for awhile. I have experimented with heating before, and this design was VERY successful: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aNeJqrSep6fFoIU.html I don’t think this fabric will work well for heating. You would need plastic. This design won’t accommodate the plastic. You’d need to go with my original design, I think. The plastic may be damaged by the way I have it being retracted. This design isn’t airtight, either, because the edges aren’t sealed. The hinged hoop house has a better seal. If you do decide to add heat, I think you’d want to use Christmas lights that are UL listed for outdoor use, or some other UL listed means. Fire hazards freak me out.
