good video and right to the point without a lot of unnecessary steps or chit chat. gonna be doing this over my summer squash. i am sick of those vine borers ruining my squash. got the hoops in place and will be installing the netting today. i will just have to pull back the cover long enough to hand pollinate but i have been doing that for a few years now anyway as bees are scarce in my garden.
Great video. Thanks. I'd just add for those who are curious that using grey pvc tends to resist breaking down or becoming brittle a little better than the white stuff.
Very well done! I am looking to construct one of these late winter to get a head start. I like the simplicity and functionality of your design. I am going to use clear plastic with mine in hopes of regulating temperatures.
I cannot believe the people that put thumbs down. They obviously don't live in an area where we NEED this. Perfect for hail. I am building one. Tired of my garden getting hailed out.
THANK you for JUST SHOWING THE PROCESS, not yammering on about this and that! LOL. yes info is good to get but sometimes you just wanna cut to the chase. I would like to have maybe a caption appear for est. cost but really I can find my own prices.. LOVE THIS
Just a small tweak, prob use rebar that is half as long or I have even seen others use the pvc cap ends and screw them to the top of the wood bed frame if cost is an issue. Nice and clean setup
Wow -- super genius but simple enough where anyone can do this. I have 5 raised beds of different sizes so will be doing this to grow hardy annuals. I like the initial view where you listed what you were using. Can you let me know what the black rubber item was that you used to secure the row cover to the hoop ends? Thanks for sharing this awesome video!!
Hey Alicia, I cut up come spare drip hose and slit them down the colored line on the hose. Thanks for watching and please check out some of my other videos.
I am in an open to the public community ( pay reasonable fee) raised garden plot. 2019 is my first year as "veggies" gardener. With 3 growing seasons at altitude of 5000 ft. and hoop house is needed in all seasons. Thanks, Keith for above hoop house tutorial. To the point and very nicely presented. I'll pass you on to many others. My community garden has 10 ft high enclosed fencing to keep herds of ELK and deer out. Also not much problem with small critters, I am told. So, again --your design should be a ' bell ringer ' for my situation.
This is good for the Winter and/or if your going to leave the bed covered but if you want to get in and out of it it would be better to build a 'separate' movable frame.
This is only up for 4 - 6 weeks until it warms up or at the end of the season. To get in, I just remove the black tubing and one side of the sand bags then pull the cover over to the other side. Thanks for watching and here's my cold frame video: th-cam.com/video/2aXKsKKP7_o/w-d-xo.html
Wow really amazing learn how to do it my self with simple way.... thanks a lot from srilanka.....i grow apple plants but snails are eating them then i cant sell out the plants.....thanks one more and 1000 x sooooo goood....
Excellent. But where do you find pre-cut rebar? I think using brackets attached to the side of the beds (which the PVC ends would then slide into) would be much easier for most of us.
The best idea. I wanna build one of this structure but i don't understand what are that black pieces to fix the plastic coverage and which material are made of. Can you explain? Thanks.
Thanks. I have used pieces of pvc tubes for external electrical installations diameter 20 mm. I cut them lengthwise by removing a strip of 4-5 millimeters.
Great Video, but couple of questions - the Waterpex tubing comes in 100ft rolls, how long is each hoop, can I also use 1/2" PVC as it may be stronger in the wind. If I use 1/2" PVC will the drip hose pieces still fit and hold the plastic? Many thanks, cannot wait to do this.
John, I found more of the tubing in 50' rolls at my local True Value store if you don't need much. Each hoop is half the width of the bed x pie (3.14). The 1/2" PVC doesn't bent well. You have to soften it with a heat gun. And, the hose pieces are too small for that PVC. I've had 40 mph winds without an issue. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and Merry Christmas!
@@keithwilkes7629 Good Morning Keith and Many thanks, I live in Fort Worth, Texas so should find a True Value somewhere here. Merry Xmas and a safe and Healthy 2021.
Hi Keith, love your vid on installing hoops and row covers. Question: What are the black things you use to secure coverings to hoops, starting @ 5:09 minutes in your vid?
Hi Margarita, I got everything at a local True Value Hardware store. The row cover your can get on-line. The hoops are PVC tubing. Hope that helps and thanks for watching.
The row covers protect against frost. The hoops support the row covers. The set-up allows you to get an early start on the season and grow longer in the fall. Thanks for watching.
Very good video. I have a couple of questions - (1) what are those black clips like things you attached to the PVC pipes to keep the cover from flying around. What are they called? (2) how do you water and fertilize the plants inside the hoop house? Just pour the fertilizer solution over the fabric? Appreciate if you can provide me answers to these questions. Thanks
Those black things are pieces of drip hose I cut for that purpose. As for watering, I remove one side of the row cover then re-install it. Thanks for watching.
I thought about getting something like this to protect the bok choy that I want to grow. However, would this covering block the sun light out? Never tried this before.
@@keithwilkes7629 Thanks Keith for your reply. Can I know the drip hose diameter? My PVC is 1/2, but I found the diameter is 1/4 inch in Homedepot. Is it the same size you use? Thanks.

What a smart idea to make the hoops and row cover in an easy way. Inspiration! Than you.
This set-up takes 5 minutes. Thanks for watching.

Great video. Thanks. I'd just add for those who are curious that using grey pvc tends to resist breaking down or becoming brittle a little better than the white stuff.
Simple, neat and very effective, thank you very much!
I don't think its neat. that cover is all over the place.
Very well done! I am looking to construct one of these late winter to get a head start. I like the simplicity and functionality of your design. I am going to use clear plastic with mine in hopes of regulating temperatures.
You can start with the row covers first so it doesn't get too hot then switch to plastic as the temperatures get cooler/colder. Thanks for watching.
@@keithwilkes7629 excellent advice! In what part of the country are you gardening? I am in NWGA.
I'm in south central PA.
Best video yet on hoop houses! Thank you.
Thanks and thanks for watching.
Great Background Music!
I cannot believe the people that put thumbs down. They obviously don't live in an area where we NEED this. Perfect for hail. I am building one. Tired of my garden getting hailed out.
You could actually use this all season to protect against the weather and critters (insects and rabbits, etc.). Thanks for watching.
Maybe they've had past bad experience using flexible pipe.
If I ever try again it'll be using metal.
Very good work. a inspiration for me. Greetings from Germany
Super creative idea. Helpful for me. Thanks

Wow really amazing learn how to do it my self with simple way.... thanks a lot from srilanka.....i grow apple plants but snails are eating them then i cant sell out the plants.....thanks one more and 1000 x sooooo goood....
Love the music.
Excellent. But where do you find pre-cut rebar? I think using brackets attached to the side of the beds (which the PVC ends would then slide into) would be much easier for most of us.
Ace or True Value hardware stores generally have rebar. They can also cut to specific lengths for you. It's priced by the foot. Thanks for watching.
That's what i'm talking about. TY is the black tubing or hose?
What is 'drip hose' I have been around for too many years and never heard that term in the UK or Ireland.
It looks like a black garden hose except the texture is rough and it's porous so the water "drips" out. Thanks for watching.
Tip, take an offcut of pipe cut to length or rebar projecton, place over rebar then knock in bar till level with pipe . no measuring , faster

What did you use or where did you get the black long fitting to secure the cover onto the tubing?
It's drip hose. You can get it on-line at Johnny's or other garden supplier. You can also use garden hose. Thanks for watching.
You are good men.
A really fine idear.
What were the shorter black pieces that you used to secure the row cover to the PEX? Thank you.....

The best idea. I wanna build one of this structure but i don't understand what are that black pieces to fix the plastic coverage and which material are made of. Can you explain? Thanks.
It's pieces of a drip line.
Thanks. I have used pieces of pvc tubes for external electrical installations diameter 20 mm. I cut them lengthwise by removing a strip of 4-5 millimeters.
Simple but very nice idea.
what are you using to affix the cloth to the pvc hoop? it looks like garden hose, cut....
You can use garden hose or I used 12" lengths of drip hose . Thanks for watching.
Great work. But how do you know water the plants afterwards?
The row cover lets the rain through. You can always pull the cover back and check the soil. Thanks for watching.
@@keithwilkes7629 Thank you for clarifying!
How about plant that need pollinators? Do you open the cover in the day time to let them in?
What's the black tubing used to hold the fabric in place?
It's drip hose I cut into pieces and sliced to open up to place over the PVC hose. Thanks for watching.
Very good, but use a small sledge-type hammer. Less blows required, and you won’t have to turn it on its side to keep from missing the stake.

Welcome🖐🏼💐🎈
thanks for sharing. very nice
Great video! How do I remove the rebar without having to dig it up? Thanks!
I just pull it out. Wear gloves. Thanks for watching.
Creative idea. I could try in near future. Thanks
Thanks and please check out some of my other videos
Is the pvc going across the top 3/4 inch and the tee and cross 3/4? There’s no way you can have it 1/2 because you can’t slide 1/2 tee over 1/2 pipe
The 1/2" fittings fit over the 1/2" tubing. The descriptions are at the beginning for the video. Thanks for watching.
Awesome video
Thanks and thanks for watching.
th-cam.com/video/5F4HYQhIXxk/w-d-xo.html

good idea....how long will the pex last?....guess pvc would get brittle after a season too, but the pex is so much more flexible...thanks
I've been using this set-up for 4 years now. Like the first time I used it. Thanks for watching.
Nice video

Hi Keith, love your vid on installing hoops and row covers. Question: What are the black things you use to secure coverings to hoops, starting @ 5:09 minutes in your vid?
They're pieces of extra drip hose. Slice them down the length. You can also use regular garden hose. Thanks for watching
@@keithwilkes7629 Thank you for your quick response! Will be using your method in the future.
Will the hoops be as effective in the garden bed as they are in the raised beds... this is very inspirational... thank you.
Keith what and where did you get your materials for the cover, and hoops. Is the hoops pvc? let us know.
Hi Margarita, I got everything at a local True Value Hardware store. The row cover your can get on-line. The hoops are PVC tubing. Hope that helps and thanks for watching.
@@keithwilkes7629 Thank you Keith, appreciate your knowledge. I will go to my locate ACE Hardware.

Simple et très bien. Merci
Yes ot was helpful .. but a heavy air won't lift it ? I am preparing for my strawberries for the first time
The wind won't effect it as long as the row cover is anchored down well. Thanks for watching.
Wowww ! excellent idea! thank you
How did you get the PVC to stay in the half moon shape?
It's a thinner pvc tubing, not normal pipe. It's listed at the beginning of the video. Thanks for watching.
what is the width of the microtunnel? Thanks, from Argentina
My beds are 27" inside diameter. Thanks for watching.
Nice job men. You placed wooden beams on the ground. They will not rot over time;
They will have to be replaced eventually. I'll be doing a video soon. Thanks for watching.
@@keithwilkes7629 Thanks a lot for your immediate response.
Thank you!Very simple to do.Good idea.
What is the black tube u r fitting at the end to prevent the cover from flying off?
It's a 12" length of drip hose. Thanks for watching.
Love where did you get all the materials the black little pieces thanks
The black pieces are 1/2" drip hose I cut in 12" lengths and slit them along the colored line on the hose. Thanks for watching.
Hi i am new to gardening and just made my first raised garden bed this past weekend. May i ask what is the purpose for Hoops & Row covers? Nice video!
The row covers protect against frost. The hoops support the row covers. The set-up allows you to get an early start on the season and grow longer in the fall. Thanks for watching.
In Texas the row covers protect against bugs that will eat everything you grow. But still allow sunlight in.
It frustrates deer enough that they don't eat all the carrot tops.
Very good video. I have a couple of questions - (1) what are those black clips like things you attached to the PVC pipes to keep the cover from flying around. What are they called? (2) how do you water and fertilize the plants inside the hoop house? Just pour the fertilizer solution over the fabric? Appreciate if you can provide me answers to these questions. Thanks
Those black things are pieces of drip hose I cut for that purpose. As for watering, I remove one side of the row cover then re-install it. Thanks for watching.
How do you access the inside for planting and maintenance?
Just unhook one side of the cover and folder it over the other side or remove it completely. Thanks for watching.
Bravo, belle idée ! Merci

I thought about getting something like this to protect the bok choy that I want to grow. However, would this covering block the sun light out? Never tried this before.
a light weight row cover lets about 85% of the light through. Thanks for watching
Good video 👍
How does it hold up during snow storms?
I've gotten up to 8" of snow and they've held up fine. Thanks for watching.
How do you make sure the top piece doesn't slide around ?
I usually don't. I've used small spring clamps on both side of the T in the past. Thanks for watching.
so what is the black tube you inserted over the piping
12" pieces of drip irrigation hose. Thanks for watching.
what is the black clip used to contact the row cover with the PVC? and where can we buy it? Thanks.
Yes, i want to know that too...
They are left over drip hose. Cut to 8" - 12" long and slit from end to end. You can get bulk drip line on-line at Johnnys. Thanks for watching.

@@weixingding5244 There's only 1 size drip hose. I believe it's 1/2" inside diameter. It fits over the PVC tubing, not the 1/2" PVC pipe.
What are those black things you use to hold down cover?

Is this to protect from sun ,rain or weather?
It's to protect from colder temperatures. I use plastic over the winter and the row cover material in the early spring and fall. Thanks for watching.
What diameter is the black pipe used to hold fabric to the hoops?
It's 1" Drip hose I cut to 12" long and sliced along the colored line. Thanks for watching
Is CTX WaterPex tubing better than 1/2" PVC like you see in some other videos? Is it more durable or less expensive or something? Tnx
Regular PVC is rigid and has to be heated to be bent. The flexible tubing is much easier to work with. Thanks for watching.
What is the black tubing stuff? Looks like a soakers hose .....
That's what it is. It's flexible enough to wrap around the PVC tubing. It was extra I had lying around.
@@keithwilkes7629 Looks like pipe insulation would work too?
Whatever you use, it has to clamp over the tubing well enough to hold the material on. Thanks for watching.
