This guide provides a step-by-step guide on how to build a hoophouse mini greenhouse for a raised bed garden. The greenhouse is made of PVC pipe and can cover a bed, protecting plants from wind. The construction process is broken down into 10 simple steps, and a video tutorial is available for further guidance. The hoop house is easy to build, has withstood winds exceeding 75 mph, and is not expensive to build.
The end product measures approximately 9’4″L x 3’W x 20″H. The greenhouse can be built for under $400 using gray 1″ PVC rigid electrical conduit, which is not affected by sunlight. The process involves cutting hula hoops, drilling holes in wood, dry fitting them, attaching cross braces to the frame, and gluing them in place.
A hoop house is a DIY greenhouse that can be constructed using cattle fencing or PVC hoops wrapped in plastic covering. The easiest method is to place metal stakes into the ground and slide six-foot sections of PVC pipe over the plants, creating an arch effect. This greenhouse is a cost-effective and easy way to expand your growing season and give your plants a jump-start this season.
