Nifty Hoops 9 Rolling Up The Side Curtains

A 1.315" galvanized tube (roll bar) is inserted into the side curtain and attached to a geared, self braking crank that raises and lowers the ventilating side curtain. Additional hardware (roll bar cradles and wind rope clips) are added to attach a light rope that prevents the side curtain from being blown by the wind.
A motorized, automated side curtain option is available, controlled by hoophouse interior temperature. This can be powered by a transformer from available line voltage, or an additional solar power option.

I love your tunnels and the thought you put into them. My next NRCS tunnel I buy is going to be yours.

[@donnareed3822]

Great video. You explained that all very well

[@domsagrilife2587]

Thanks for the tips 😊

[@kendallricker9633]

rolling the side curtain under rather than over would prevent trapping water in the plastic and would keep it cleaner and less mold or fungus build up. Just a thought.

[@tommbecker1786]

Rolling under means chafing against the groundposts every time you roll up or down. We find much better durability rolling over

درود و خسته نباشین 🙏🏻💪🏻

Do you have an emt/guide bar on both ends of the greenhouse? What is supporting the roll up on the other side? Or is it just the one bar with the clamp?

[@Niftyhoops]

Hello. I regret the delay. The roll-bar is not supported on the other end. It is only supported by the guide pipe through the crank on the front of the house.

Great video! Where can you purchase the cradles?

[@Niftyhoops]

Hello. We've actually stopped using the roll-bar cradles, as they were causing some damage to the curtains.
We are now using 3/8" eye bolts through the baseboards -- a good deal cheaper and more effective
