Select one side of the raised bed to be the fixed base of your hoophouse. On the opposite side, where the opening will be, attach hinges to the wooden frame. These hinges will allow your hoophouse to open and close easily for access to the plants.
Step 4: Attach PVC Pipes to Hinges
Secure the PVC pipes to the hinged side of the raised bed using screws and pipe clamps. Ensure that the pipes are firmly attached and that the structure can swing open and close smoothly.
Step 5: Cover with Plastic Sheeting
Drape the heavy-duty plastic sheeting over the PVC hoops, ensuring there’s enough excess to cover the ends of the raised bed. Trim the plastic as needed, leaving extra material for securing it to the ground or frame.
Step 6: Secure the Plastic Sheeting
Use UV-resistant zip ties to secure the plastic sheeting to the PVC hoops tightly. On the hinged side, staple the plastic to the wooden frame, ensuring it’s taut and secure. On the fixed side and ends, bury the excess plastic in the soil or secure it to the frame to keep the interior protected from the elements.
Step 7: Final Adjustments
Test the hinged hoophouse by opening and closing it to ensure the plastic is not overly stretched or loose. Make any necessary adjustments to the hinges, plastic, or frame to improve functionality.
