I found the video on the pipe bending what degree would these pipes be at?
-
Save some labor by using zip ties to connect the ridge? 1" by 2" for ridge?
-
Hi, how do you manage snow buildup in this type of greenhouse?
-
It would be helpful to video exactly how you put the wiggle wire in with the plastic to viewers have a sense of what you're talking about. Seeing it finished doesn't really show how it was accomplished.
-
you are serious you really want to help food production thank you from the heart brother
-
May I ask where you find channels and wiggle wire? Using a hoop tunnel this winter for the first time to test out how long our chard and arugula will last. so far so good with 25 degree nights. no snow yet tho. fingers crossed. good stuuf Curtis!

can i make it out of wood
-
Good stuff, Curtis. We are doing some interesting things down near Wilmington, NC I'd like to share with you someday.
-
I may have missed it, if so I apologize but how much did the one greenhouse you were displaying cost?
-
wouldnt PVC be cheaper than fencing?
-
When you leave, how do you get the poles out of the ground?
-
Hi Curtis!
I'm going to use your way to build my green house. I will have the same size, 12 feet wide (~50 feet long).
My question is how high is the green house and how much poly do i need?
Also, will you recommend to do 2 layer and a fan, like your heated green house? (my green house won't be heated).
Thank you! -
I was thinking of doing my own greenhouse much further south than you. I had always envisioned schedule 10 PVC 1 inch into tee fittings with end caps at each bent for secure contact at the ground. Mister nozzles would allow me to control watering at the turn of a faucet or by timer. Is the steel cheaper than the PVC ? It seems to me the PVC would go together very fast. I'm just wondering what the pro's and con's are and how you arrived at the galvanized steel for yours. I have been watching your videos and am a subscriber perhaps the answer is in a video I seen yet.
-
how you call the plastic wall or cover in the green house. I mean what kind of plastic it is?
-
Would this work with 3 10ft rails for the rungs to make the greenhouse 16+ft wide?
-
Curtis. Thanks for the video. Any chance you could put a link to your stockists for things like the wiggle wire and channel lock? I'm trying to look for stockists of many of the items you mention in your videos in the UK and its not easy. Either they're not stocked or they come under different names. being able to see what you're ordering at the Canadian stores would be really helpful. Cheers

Intuitive!
-
Where any rain get in or anything under lightning if you were in there
-
Oh, double layer with blower?
-
Is the 'poly' you've been using a special 'greenhouse' type? And which weight/thickness please?
