Building a hoop house today

| No Comments

The rain has let up for a while so finishing lunch and heading out to build a hoop house for my vege starts.

Was very much surprised at the cost of CPVC pipe - I had purchased some a couple years ago and remembered that it was well under $2 for a half-inch by 10 foot stick. Yesterday, it was $3.70 each. Still I got the whole hoop house materials for under $40 so I am not complaining - this will turbo-charge my vegetables until it warms up and the components are 100% reuseable next year.

CPVC is Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride and is a lot less brittle than garden variety PVC pipe. Very springy so it bends into an arch nicely.
