This Video details the entire construction of a high tunnel/ hoop house step by step. This took less than 1 day to build and costs less than $200. Parts 1 and 2 with full construction DIY step by step. Add some 6 mil greenhouse plastic and you have a sturdy structure that will last a long time.
Please use power tools with caution, especially when cutting small pieces. If you are not comfortable with a miter saw, use a table saw or similar. You can also make a jig to hold pieces. Use at your own risk!!!

Just use 16 ‘ cattle panels then you can let your vining plants climb during the summer
How’s the PVC holding up? I heard that it becomes real brittle after a while in the sun and snaps.
The slip joints are easier to make by ripping the PVC on a table saw first and them cutting to length. Its safer too.
Lessons learned from my own build (6 years old and going strong):
1) Grey electrical conduit is more resistant to UV and has a joint built in for connecting two fo them together.
2) Don’t seam the PVC at the top of the curve – that is the highest stress point and is prone to failure… better to do 5′, 10′, 5′ – a little more cutting and joints but the joints are down where there is little bending stress.
3) I bored holes in my 26 ridge beam and ran the PVC thru it – more work, but it supports 2,000 lbs of snow load in the winter.
What was the door made out of? The 2x4x8?
…think like a carpenter: rip (cut the long way) the slot on a length of pvc, THEN chop into short segments. Keep your fingers.
How is it holding up 3 years later with your wind and snow
lovely idea but that would cost 2 x the amount here in the UK. nice video tho
is your family also going to use the poop house? cause thats just weird…
I was looking for raised beds and you showed up. I like your green house. I started thinking that it could be extended the next year. Also I might put another 2X6 at the base so I could have a second canape for Michigan winters. I subscribed for more awesome ideas. Thank yo brother.
Excellent design.
you could also just use a footlong piece of rebar for each pvc piece
A wonderful video. I will build this using your video. How much plastic will I need. What length and width?
what was the average internal temperature of the finished greenhouse during the winter. where im at, it gets pretty cold. so I was wondering what’s the difference between the outside temp and the inside temp. thanks.
I hope you keep making videos when you move to Iowa (saw that in another video). I’m looking forward to using this video to make a greenhouse for us in Idaho Springs (we are also in Colorado) this year. If you ever want an afternoon getaway from Denver, send me a message. Would love to buy you a beer or lunch or something.
Theres no way this was 150$. In canada we just bought 2x4s x 8 and they were 5.50 each. That doesn’t include clips, fasteners, plastic rolls in 50′ sections are $60 each. You guys need to get realistic about prices.
To prevent a wind storm from blowing it away I would stick a piece of rebar inside at the end of those pvc to the ground inside at least 5 inches so that if a strong storm comes along it won’t be blown away. I would stick it at each corner and mid section. I like your idea of your hoop house.
Thank you !!! I have watched more videos then I can count. This is the first one that actually showed me how to build a door!!! I have 4 hoop houses and not one door…None of the other videos made sense to me. I love this! Your awesome!!!
I’m going to use this video for my bed time story
One 50mph gust=Goodbye
How did you do the plastic cover?
I have a question… did you rip the 2x4x8’s to get the door frames?
24 would be the correct number.
my dogs LOVE ur opening 🙂
Thank you for posting this video I have been trying to build a greenhouse for the last two years and could never find one that I truly like and can afford, I just wanted you to know that I built it and it turned out beautiful it is everything I needed thank you so much!
Thank you. You make it look easy but I doubt I can do it. I would love to have one but hey, can’t always get everything you want. I hope you keep showing how to make things and maybe one day I’ll make something out of wood. Keep on keeping on and be safe.
very nice
We absolutely love this video. We are taking your shopping list to a big box store tomorrow. One thing we didn’t see in either this video or part II is how to stretch and secure the plastic. Well keep an eye out for it in cSe you make one. Thanks again! (My growing partner loves your crystal clear construction instructions, while I love to watch you brand yourself with your motto about simple living, get better and better with the YouTube thing, and generally succeed in marketing as well as homesteading.)
Is the plastic you use from amazon BPA free. A concern is leaching toxins into organic garden. Was unable to find any information on the type of plastic it is. Any ideas?
Thank you!
Really like the design, I would like to build one as well. Have you ever thought about doing a follow up video on this, just to show how well it has held up over the years, and what you would do differently now vs. then. I live near Toronto, do you think this design would be sturdy enough to hold up against the weather here?
i use cheese to stabilize my poops
i wonder how long it was before he regret using plastic "hoop stabilizers"
Those plastic clamps will become brittle and break in time. Swap for the metal ones.
Great video but your cost estimates do not include greenhouse plastic costs which for me were over 100 dollars.
Some omissions IMO. You didn’t show putting up the PVC. How did that go? Screw in one bottom while the piece is standing in the air before screwing in one side at a time? Seems like it would be good to show in action. Second, not sure how you were able to cut out the notch on the 2" PVC pieces. Chop saw? That looks dangerous. How did you hold them in place while you cut the notch. How about putting the notched pieces onto the other PVC? Apparently the piece pulls open? How did you do that without breaking the pieces? Also, no problem with the PVC joint at the 10′ point coming lose or breaking? I like the concept, but as far as instructions and a thorough showing you could have been more helpful I think.
It may add some expense, but, why not use 2×2 instead of ripping 2x4s?
I like the tall raised bed at the end of the video those ai want to see how it was done!
Cool Ass VIDEO!
Not grommets or pvc holders, they are actually pvc pipe straps. Also 4 straps per hoop equal 24, not 22.
ARE THESE 1/2 BY 10 OR 1IN/10 YOU NEVER SAID THIS HOME DEPOT PVC ?
Thank You
For my hoops I reinforced the joints with something (I’ve forgotten what, either wood or PVC) inside the tubes and coupling. This gave me a smooth curve at the joints instead of a point.
Very good job!
I purchased a greenhouse for less than $200.00 on Amazon, galvanized piping.
Looks good, but did it survive the first storm? How is it today?
