Hey guys, if you figured out what's going on in this video, I'd love it if you could share it somewhere! This was fun, but way more work than I thought it would be. I hope a lot of people see it. Thanks for the support!
I can only imagine the planning. I tried videoing the move of my wild bees into their new home yesterday. It was not easy to think about camera work and the job of moving the bees at the same time! I think the camera work suffered. Now if I can just figure out how to edit this into something watchable. Your editing is an inspiration.
Vino Farm I didn't even realize on the last vid. I thought it was pretty impressive when you hucked up the top bar, but it wasn't until I saw your dog walking around that I realized what was going on.
This is one of the best instructional videos I have ever watched. You don't waste people's time with too much blabber, you're charismatic, the video is produced well, you keep things moving along, and you do a great job at underlining the important stuff. Great job and thank you!
This is one of the best videos I have seen produced by a non-professional video guy. Great production values, clear explanation and very easy to watch! You should start an on-line university!
I just ordered a new 4 hoop metal house identical to yours but smaller. The people that delivered it didn't communicate very well on how to build the entire thing so I watched your video and it told me EVERYTHING needed to finish it...thanks a lot for this video!!
Noodles APPROVES of this video series.. .. Kudos to you sir!! The creative expression was well worth putting it together twice as you go.. .. Noodles enjoyed it immensely..
Nicely done. I really appreciated the layout tips in the first video - especially the part about using two tapes. I'd used one and kept going back and forth with it to check it on a smaller garden plot and it frustrated the heck out of me. This makes it look much easier to actually apply the theory! Thanks!
unseenshadow13 This was the most time consuming video I've ever made. I shot it last summer and fall over about three weeks. I was trying to have it finished by April fools day, but editing took way way longer than I planned. It took almost a month of editing (in my free time). Editing is not hard. It just takes a LONG time.
Vino Farm though it takes a long time, the finished product is the most satisfying things ever! I've been watching you since your 'worst amateur beekeeping mistake' video and the quality of your videos has increased so much! It is really appreciable the amount of effort you put, in the past year!
lol love how this whole thing and part one are both him just disassembling a hoop house but making it look like he’s assembling it. Clever - looks tough to pull off
Great build, great video, editing, great delivery. One suggestion, if I may:. when rolling the sides up, roll the pipe under the plastic. It won't collect water. No mold, no mildew.
wow, you are excellent for you construct this greenhouse by urself, no more other people to help you. we are a greenhouse manufacturer in China, a good job.
Yep! He's good. Very good. I must say - Bravo! A lot of thought and forward thinking here. I don't have the capacity for that. And you did it on film, and very well indeed. It all came together very eloquently. I'm still trying to wrap my head around just putting it together from start to finish. I learned a lot from just that. And to be certain, a tremendous amount of work involved with this was not lost on me. Thanks Senore.
I recently viewed something , on TH-cam of course, It was called The Neversink Farm. $350.000.00 gross first year from 1.5 acres using these long houses. You know what they say" If it sounds too good to be true", but thought I'd pass it along.
I love everything about what you did here. You just make it so easy to build. Now if I can afford few materials, then I can actually build this myself for snail farming. Thanks allot, am subscribing and following you everywhere. You're a great teacher. You added so many fun moves to the video making it so interesting to watch. Thanks allot
Thanks. Lots and lotsa work. Physical and mental. And it all went very well. You really used your noodle on this one. And every one else really enjoyed it as well. May I ask a question? Would you give us a peek into your bakery sometime? I was a baker many lifetimes ago (pastry chef/baker) among other things. Being a native of the S.F. Bay Area I'm a lifetime sourdough junkie also. Thanks again for some quality entertainment.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for an easy to follow and instructional videos. Can't say enough for a no nonsense approach to building a hoop house🥰🥰🥰
Wow , You have some kind of magical powers or something , Stuff just jumps right up to the top for you , wish I had that skill .... LoL .... Loved both video's
Hey man .thank you for your video..I'm just about ready to start my hoop house assembly..there are many videos on you tube that describes this procedure..but I found yours to be the most logical and strongest method. You had me at hip board...hahahaha..jk.. Honestly the way you set up your ridge such a small important tip.. I'm going to follow your video.. Thank you sir for taking the time to make edit and post of this video..it will be of great help to me.. We need to keep sharing our knowledge with everyone..it just makes up better people.. Thanks .and thanks you tube
How does this hoop house look at your house? I assume that you just videoed yourself dismantling it and played it in reverse as a how to. Brilliant idea my friend, love it! Chuck
great vid! One tip, when you rollup the greenhouse sides you need to roll it inwards because if it rains it will fill up with water and will rip your greenhouse plastic and may bend the pipes.
I've done it both ways. Rolling it the way I do in the video is easier to get started. I've found that if your pipes are not totally level (they never are), the outside roll acts like a gutter and water just flows to either end. Nothing accumulates. Rolling it inwards is a cleaner look, though. The other advantage is when it's rolled outwards, the bottom of the plastic sits flush to the base of the ground posts making sealing the bottom much easier in winter. When the roll is inside, the bottom of the plastic leaves a big gap for critters to get in.
Vino Farm The joke? I’m not sure mate. But I’ve spent the last 10 days watching all your videos since last summer and very nearly caught up. I never thought I’d be interested in bees, or building projects or stuff like this but I think you’re great and really interesting! I’m from an urban working class area in the uk and never stepped on a farm in my life so this world is new to me. You’ve a great character though and I’m learning a lot. Who knows, maybe I’ll get bees someday! 😁 (P.s) when I’ve caught up I’ll be going back to the beginning of your videos the ones before last summer 😁)
Darren Armstrong Yes, I get a lot of comments that people like the hoophouse videos but I don't think everyone realizes I filmed them entirely in reverse. I thought it would get a bigger response but maybe I was a bit too subtle. I appreciate the kind words and the views!
I also enjoyed both videos- any chance you can show us how to set up the inside? seedling beds, irrigation/watering options, regulating temp or light, too hot or cold etc......?
I TRUSTED YOU!!! ;D That was a confusing couple of videos. So many little things that had me wondering what was going on. I'm rewatching parts now. You walking in backwards in the intro... Hehehehe. :D Nicely done, sir.
I want to do this in my home, I have a lot of space, problem is finding the materials for cheap. I’d like to focus on growing tomatoes 🍅 Thanks 🙏 for all the intel on how to make this build, hopefully one day I get the materials at a good price and I start building it one step at a time.
A really well done tutorial - Thanks. But after a couple of viewings I still had a few questions. At roughly the 3:00 mark in the video, you begin building the ends of the tunnel - framing in the header/doorway. Your footage then races through the securing of the visqueen (plastic sheeting) to the framing. I understand that I have several options for securing the plastic wherever there's wood framing - ie screws with fender washers behind them or even just Arrow T-50 heavy duty staples, etc. But how did you go about securing your plastic sheeting to the PVC pipe above the framing? Another builder/ blogger that I ran across addressed this by doubling up his hoops on both ends of his tunnel and trapping the sheeting tight between the two layers. I thought this might be a solution - maybe with the added step of first stretching the plastic onto double face carpet tape to eliminate bunching/wrinkling first before through bolting the two layers. Finally, referring back to part 1 - I'm assuming by the way that you tossed your purlins onto your arch that you used PVC - not EMT - for this part of the build - correct? I realize that I'm a little late to the party - since your post is a few years old now. Still, I'd be grateful if you can provide some detail on how you approached this part of your project. Thanks again.
Hey man, I know this is a year old now, but just wanted to clear it up that this video video was filmed in reverse, he was in fact taking the hoop house down, but filmed in a way to provide a tutorial to build one. So him tossing up the purlins was them falling down and being caught - but then reversed. I'm sure you could fairly easily get galvanised tubing up there with an arrangement of ratchet straps and some bar clamps
This is great and on the agenda this spring...I keep bees and want the pollination from them...will that height of the rollup accommodate pollination from honey bees or other natural pollinators?
Super helpful videos! Getting ready to set up our hoop house and will utilize a number of your suggestions. Very well done and many thanks! Cheers from Maine...
It's un-heated, so in our climate, nothing will grow in it over the deep winter, but it does extend our season at least a month on each end of the growing season. So we plant earlier and can harvest later than just putting things in an outdoor garden. And things like tomatoes do WAY better in a hoop house because they can stay dry. Rain spreads a lot of tomato diseases.
Enjoyed the video editing, especially the dog walking backwards and ghost helping with the plastic. lol. Q: Why not tape the edge of plastic to the side roller, then roll it up and over the hoops (once to wrap the plastic, second time to unwrap)? That's how I plan to cover/uncover my (soon to be) screen mesh greenhouse with winter plastic or summer shade screen (Arizona). Need to practice my purling tossing skills, first.😉
The Hermit Tape does help the first time you roll the plastic onto the side pipe. After 10 years of having hoophouses, I learned on a TH-cam video that they make snap on clamps for this very purpose. They snap over the pipe and hold the plastic on until the friction grabs hold.
@@vinofarm Sorry for my bad explanation. I intended to suggest that a full length pipe (perhaps 3" dia PVC) could be used to roll plastic or shade materials over an entire screen-covered greenhouse, as needed. For example, material could be wrapped around pipes, on each side, at the apex of the greenhouse. A pulley system would allow them to roll up or down (like roller blinds), depending upon the desired coverage. If that is doable, then the initial cover could be installed in a similar manner. Roll it up to the top, attach the free outside edge to the top purling, then unroll it to the bottom, remove the tape and attach it to the wig-wag. This would avoid becoming kite-man if the wind picks up. I'm thinking of a motorized design, perhaps automatically temperature or timer controlled, ideally. Thanks for the tip about the clamps. Sounds like something I would want to use.😎
@@TheOleHermit If you have multiple people, the other technique is to put the whole roll of plastic on the peak (Perpendicular). You center the roll on the center purlin and walk down the side purlins unrolling the plastic as you go. Then the plastic is draped over the centerline and can be unfolded and stretched down the sides. I't pretty elegant, but needs 2-4 people. I've done all my hoophouses alone. I just unroll and unfold all the plastic on one side and drag one corner over the top. Then work the middle section and the final corner. Then it's a dozen laps around the hoophouse pulling each corner to get everything straight. A non-windy day is essential, but it can be done alone.
very nice. so if I want to use one of these houses to keep all critters out, I guess I could put screening material on that bottom section under the rollup plastic... that way when they are up the house hopefully will still keep out most critters. do you plant in the earth or in tubs?
Hello, sir! Can you please, give some ideas about how to keep the condensation out of the hoophouse? Do you extra ventilation or some sort of material in tge ground? I am asking for a succulent polytuneel. Thank you!
Hey guys, if you figured out what's going on in this video, I'd love it if you could share it somewhere! This was fun, but way more work than I thought it would be. I hope a lot of people see it. Thanks for the support!
I can only imagine the planning. I tried videoing the move of my wild bees into their new home yesterday. It was not easy to think about camera work and the job of moving the bees at the same time! I think the camera work suffered. Now if I can just figure out how to edit this into something watchable. Your editing is an inspiration.
LOL
April fools?
obtree A bit late.
Vino Farm I didn't even realize on the last vid. I thought it was pretty impressive when you hucked up the top bar, but it wasn't until I saw your dog walking around that I realized what was going on.
This is one of the best instructional videos I have ever watched. You don't waste people's time with too much blabber, you're charismatic, the video is produced well, you keep things moving along, and you do a great job at underlining the important stuff. Great job and thank you!
This is one of the best videos I have seen produced by a non-professional video guy. Great production values, clear explanation and very easy to watch! You should start an on-line university!
I just ordered a new 4 hoop metal house identical to yours but smaller. The people that delivered it didn't communicate very well on how to build the entire thing so I watched your video and it told me EVERYTHING needed to finish it...thanks a lot for this video!!
Noodles APPROVES of this video series.. .. Kudos to you sir!! The creative expression was well worth putting it together twice as you go.. .. Noodles enjoyed it immensely..
This and Part 1 are the best hoop house building videos out there.
I would agree so
Nicely done. I really appreciated the layout tips in the first video - especially the part about using two tapes. I'd used one and kept going back and forth with it to check it on a smaller garden plot and it frustrated the heck out of me. This makes it look much easier to actually apply the theory! Thanks!
How creative you and your editor too. you started from end and finished it at beginning, I mean wow! coolest idea ever I find! Thank you.
Your Editing has now officially become my Inspiration.
unseenshadow13 This was the most time consuming video I've ever made. I shot it last summer and fall over about three weeks.

I see what you did there. Thanks for all the clever editing. Makes so much more sense now watching the barn build.
The BEST online tunnel house demo of them all , and there are hundrends !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Manny thanks !
Great build, great video, editing, great delivery. One suggestion, if I may:. when rolling the sides up, roll the pipe under the plastic. It won't collect water. No mold, no mildew.
Excellent video. Simply explained, no stupid drama or goofball antics. Well done.
That was great! You showed us the steps 1-2-3. I like your cinematography effects with the hammer jumping into your hand, etc.
You're spoiling us with two videos in two days! Love it!
wow, you are excellent for you construct this greenhouse by urself, no more other people to help you. we are a greenhouse manufacturer in China, a good job.
So glad you are back. You are doing the things I want to do, but I don't know how to even start. You point the way.
We're just following the vision! We'll get there someday. Thanks for watching.
Amazing job omg, just fantastic , what a skilled guy, deserved all the likes you can have 👏👏👏👏
Been watching a lot of greenhouse type vids lately. This is one of the very best. Thanks, bro..
Very cool. Thanks for another video. Always cool to get an episode featuring guest appearances by your dog!
Yep! He's good. Very good. I must say - Bravo! A lot of thought and forward thinking here. I don't have the capacity for that. And you did it on film, and very well indeed. It all came together very eloquently. I'm still trying to wrap my head around just putting it together from start to finish. I learned a lot from just that. And to be certain, a tremendous amount of work involved with this was not lost on me. Thanks Senore.
Thanks, Steve. Lots of planning and editing for sure. I don't want to do it again!

Thanks allot, am subscribing and following you everywhere. You're a great teacher. You added so many fun moves to the video making it so interesting to watch. Thanks allot
Fantastic idea:) He decided to make a video about setting up a hoop house, but he was actually taking it down.
Love you channel!
shhh... don't spoil it for others.
After Part 1 yesterday, I didn't think anyone noticed... so I made part 2 a bit more obvious. Thanks for watching.
Yeah did not notice it yesterday :)
Thanks. Lots and lotsa work. Physical and mental. And it all went very well. You really used your noodle on this one. And every one else really enjoyed it as well. May I ask a question?

Yea, stuff jumps! magician or something? Lol! Incredible guy. Love it!
Thanks so much for all the hard work putting together this video....made my life so much easier...Thanks!
excellent, informative precise and inspiring, you are a renaissance man

Very very well done sir. I wished you were around many years ago when I built mine
your badass dude u make a great teacher.. God Bless Brother man
Love the reverse video technique.
Chuck
Amazing job...my son bought a 10 × 20 hoop house for next Christmas. I'm getting ready now. Lol...😊🌷🐇🌼🦋🐛🌱💕
Awesome Video. Great technique for showing construction by deconstruction. Almost had me thinking you have telekinesis. No just TVkinesis!
Love the "construction" vid! Well done and VERY clever approach.
I thoroughly enjoyed both of these vids. Great editing too!👊🏾
Nice and simple with the quality design. Amazing
Love how you played the teardown video in reverse to show how to put it back together.
This is THE BEST hoop house video! Thank you so much❤️
Hi, I found this to be very Educational and entertaining very good job thank you
You made that look easy. I would love to see more videos on your house. Maybe a tour as well.
It's a lot of work but look at all of that useable space, even in the winter there will be uses. Time well spent!
How does this hoop house look at your house? I assume that you just videoed yourself dismantling it and played it in reverse as a how to. Brilliant idea my friend, love it!

How do you seal it for winter? More wiggle wire?
You are awesome. It made me feel that, its very easy to build a hoop house. I wish I could build one. many many thumbs ups
Great job. Congratulations. I learned a lot. Thank you. 💯💯💯🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
best "how to" out there. thanks so much from Canada
Great video! Thank you for putting in the work to bring this to life. Entertaining as well as informative! Loved it!
Okay it’s official. You can do something literally anything I’m not usually interested in and have me fascinated 😁 Love your videos 👌🏻
Just curious... Did you get the joke here? It seems like not everyone figured out what was going on. Thanks for watching!
Vino Farm The joke? I’m not sure mate. But I’ve spent the last 10 days watching all your videos since last summer and very nearly caught up.

Vino Farm oh wait, did you mean the rewind to make it look you were Darth Veda in disguise? Haha yes 😁😂
Darren Armstrong Yes, I get a lot of comments that people like the hoophouse videos but I don't think everyone realizes I filmed them entirely in reverse. I thought it would get a bigger response but maybe I was a bit too subtle. I appreciate the kind words and the views!
Vino Farm ah I just watched it again and can see it now and it all makes sense! 😂 It was very subtle but I should have caught on! 😁
Do you have a video how to make the door for it and vents ??
3:30 I love your magic trick!!
Just what I was looking for. Thank you dude.
It's amazing! You are so talented! I learned a lot from both of your videos. Thank you!
Mate , I really love your videos they are very informative and very inspiring keep up the good work :)
Nice, very informative. Fixing to put up two greenhouses.
The Magic show at 6:48 Nice ! ! ! Thanks for the İnformations
Right to it ... very clear, very logical and ... what works. Great job! Thanks for the share.
I also enjoyed both videos- any chance you can show us how to set up the inside? seedling beds, irrigation/watering options, regulating temp or light, too hot or cold etc......?
I TRUSTED YOU!!! ;D
That was a confusing couple of videos. So many little things that had me wondering what was going on. I'm rewatching parts now. You walking in backwards in the intro... Hehehehe. :D Nicely done, sir.
Thanks for your hard work and time!
Nice drone work, too!
I want to do this in my home, I have a lot of space, problem is finding the materials for cheap. I’d like to focus on growing tomatoes 🍅
Thanks 🙏 for all the intel on how to make this build, hopefully one day I get the materials at a good price and I start building it one step at a time.
Great video!!! Thanks for doing it!!
Watching from England and can’t wait to have a poly tunnel like this
Great video. Will be doing mine in the spring
Dude cool editing, especially the center purlin install, that was when I noticed
Thanks!
Your dog is very good at walking backwards! ;)
A really well done tutorial - Thanks.
But after a couple of viewings I still had a few questions.
At roughly the 3:00 mark in the video, you begin building the ends of the tunnel - framing in the header/doorway. Your footage then races through the securing of the visqueen (plastic sheeting) to the framing.
I understand that I have several options for securing the plastic wherever there's wood framing - ie screws with fender washers behind them or even just Arrow T-50 heavy duty staples, etc.
But how did you go about securing your plastic sheeting to the PVC pipe above the framing?
Another builder/ blogger that I ran across addressed this by doubling up his hoops on both ends of his tunnel and trapping the sheeting tight between the two layers. I thought this might be a solution - maybe with the added step of first stretching the plastic onto double face carpet tape to eliminate bunching/wrinkling first before through bolting the two layers.
Finally, referring back to part 1 - I'm assuming by the way that you tossed your purlins onto your arch that you used PVC - not EMT - for this part of the build - correct?
I realize that I'm a little late to the party - since your post is a few years old now.
Still, I'd be grateful if you can provide some detail on how you approached this part of your
project. Thanks again.
Hey man, I know this is a year old now, but just wanted to clear it up that this video video was filmed in reverse, he was in fact taking the hoop house down, but filmed in a way to provide a tutorial to build one. So him tossing up the purlins was them falling down and being caught - but then reversed.
I'm sure you could fairly easily get galvanised tubing up there with an arrangement of ratchet straps and some bar clamps
beautiful... hope i will make mine someday i need your skill
Nice infarmation
and now i know! thank you. excellent step by step instructions. thank you!
Wow,great job, I've learnt a new technique. Thank you sir.
I love this series so much! Thanks for posting. A hoop house is something i'm dreaming of. :-)
it looks like you were deconstructing this while filming, then played the construction bits in reverse, is this correct? clever, and fun, thanks.
COREY EIB 25 internet points for you.
This is an awesome build and looks amazing
Awesome video, it was actually entertaining and you really covered all the bases. Thank you
Good job done, Congrats. I'm learning, hoping I'll have mine this spring.
Excellent video the best I've seen yet.
What type of poles do you recommend for rolling up the window sheeting? Metal or wood?
Does weight matter?
Thanks for Sharing Your Knowledge!!! That reverse time-lapse was genial!
Many many thanks for these 2 awesome videos !
Love the edits !!! Fun to watch . You inspired me to get bees and Going well , they swarmed and I caught . Now I have 2 hives
Great video, you make it look so easy thanks for the info
This is great and on the agenda this spring...I keep bees and want the pollination from them...will that height of the rollup accommodate pollination from honey bees or other natural pollinators?
Pollinators go right in, but they sometimes have a hard time getting out.
Hi Vino, Great job! cool video tricks
You make it look so easy!!
Super helpful videos! Getting ready to set up our hoop house and will utilize a number of your suggestions. Very well done and many thanks! Cheers from Maine...
I really appreciate all your detailed knowledge on this and going step by step, thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
would love a follow up on how it performs in cold weather
It's un-heated, so in our climate, nothing will grow in it over the deep winter, but it does extend our season at least a month on each end of the growing season. So we plant earlier and can harvest later than just putting things in an outdoor garden. And things like tomatoes do WAY better in a hoop house because they can stay dry. Rain spreads a lot of tomato diseases.
@@vinofarm how are the pollination rates maintained ?
jak smith The sides are up and doors are open all day. Lots of pollinators flying in all the time.
That was fun to watch now off to go watch part one.
Great Video! Had to go back and watch Part 1 again!!!! So much planning involved! Just WOW!
It was a bit mind bending to shoot. Thanks!

Q: Why not tape the edge of plastic to the side roller, then roll it up and over the hoops (once to wrap the plastic, second time to unwrap)?

very nice. so if I want to use one of these houses to keep all critters out, I guess I could put screening material on that bottom section under the rollup plastic... that way when they are up the house hopefully will still keep out most critters. do you plant in the earth or in tubs?
AMAZING WORK ! and AMAZING EXPLANATION!!!!!!
Hello, sir! Can you please, give some ideas about how to keep the condensation out of the hoophouse? Do you extra ventilation or some sort of material in tge ground? I am asking for a succulent polytuneel. Thank you!
I’m sure you could add vent fans. We don’t have any condensation issues in our region, so I’m not really familiar with a solution. Sorry.
Hola Vino Farm, de cuantos metros de largo y de ancho es ese invernadero
Awesome video, thank you!
Very well done ✅ now I will copy you but integrate my own ideas to it.
