Hoop-style greenhouse
In the process of building our first hoop-style greenhouse. Drilled holes 3-ft deep on each side for anchor poles that support/hold up each hoop. Large drill bits, sledge hammers and a little water (water-hose) help “slide” the hoop pole down each 3-ft hole.
OOPS… 50 MPH Winds
So I was on high when the ground cover was down… then the front came through, “the Non-Silent Storm” ! The pyrotechnics sitting on the hill top are amazing, the calm before, cool winds, the lightning strikes, then it arrived!
50 MPH winds, torrential rains, then there was the dawn…
“Hello World”… once evaluating the damage, the pins to hold the ground cover need to be 12″ to 18” apart to take on that kind of wind!
