Thank you so much for showing yourself walking through Home Depot and what the items look like in the store. I wish more US based content creators showed where they got their items if a trip to HD or Lowe's was in the vid, even just a blooper reel.

[@gardenheaux]

Thank you so much for this comment!! I really wanted to show this because I know it would have helped someone like me. Otherwise I think I would have spent so much time trying to find products.

[@dsb227]

Great tips!

[@tonyalways7174]

Very neat 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you! 😊

Thank yooouuu!! You’re a life saver!! ❤

[@gardenheaux]

Gotchu! Glad it helped.

[@heidigesler3308]

Thanks for the inspiration. I couldn't get rebar in my vehicle, but the home improvement store near us sells 6' long green plastic garden stakes that look like rebar (amazon does as well). That product was easier to work with/cut than rebar. We cut those in 8-10" segments and drove into the ground. The pexx pipe was a great idea - I found some polyethylene pipe at Lowe's that worked just as well. I used some garden mesh fabric and 2" long metal clips from amazon, worked great, was easy to install. My husband had a pexx tubing cutter but those are only $8, so not terribly expensive, either.

[@gardenheaux]

This made my day!!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing

[@metalrabbit09]

Thanks.

[@mathurinelouis4528]

We can go cheaper than that. Dollar tree hoola hoops. You disconnect them and put a piece of wood inside each end and stick it in your garden box. Voilà

[@gardenheaux]

True. There are so many different methods! I like doing it this way because I get to customize the height of each hoop to particular garden beds.

[@paulinaree1164]

wow that is genius

[@user-vd4jq4jb2v]

Great video! I have been waiting for a video that will show the home depot tour ,as I am so lost and don't know where things are every time I go into home depot!

[@gardenheaux]

I also feel the same way there, so I am so glad you found it helpful!

[@missnauer]

Thanks for the cool vid. I'm off to our Hammer Hardware store now to get some netting and pvc pipe. We don't have home depot in Aotearoa, New Zealand. Cheers Monica. 🤙

[@gardenheaux]

I love it! That made my day. Thanks from the support all the way from New Zealand! I hope your project turns out well.

[@adrianlinge6285]

Tnx

[@irenetrowbridge7886]

good

[@manvscar4561]

Great video thank you. What type of spray paint do you use on the pvc pipes?

[@gardenheaux]

Krylon (5x thick and matte) from Lowe's: www.lowes.com/pd/Krylon-FUSION-ALL-IN-ONE-Matte-Black-Spray-Paint-and-Primer-In-One-NET-WT-12-oz/1000460293?. Apologies for the delay in my response. Hope you build some garden hoops :D

[@CherylsWorld.63]

One more question about the pvc pipe. I didn't see it getting bent so I guess it's a little flimsy. So will it stay upright well and in place once over the rebar.

[@gardenheaux]

Yes it will stay upright and in place once over the rebar. The pipe is easy to bend (you can use your hands; doesn't require other tools to bend), but I wouldn't say it's flimsy because the material itself is pretty sturdy.

[@samsarra100]

How do you easily access the veggies etc to weed or maintain?

[@gardenheaux]

I don't hammer down the landscape pins too hard, so I just easily lift then when I need to get in the space. Hope that helps.

[@pamelab.7131]

If the pipes lean, are they too long?

[@gardenheaux]

Not necessarily. I have created very tall ones before. You just need to add the right support to it. You could add a taller rebar or add a pvc pipe that goes across the top of all the hoops to help stabilize them.

[@CherylsWorld.63]

It was a good video but speach was way too fast and I had to keep rewinding over and over. Thanks to the Captions I finally got it but that blocked viewing some things. I think (I'm really hard of hearing) the pvc pipes fit directly over the rebar and that the staples hold bird netting into the dirt (forgot what the staples were called and never heard of them but they sound useful).

[@enufots4621]

Cheryl, on the bottom right of the KZbin video is the gear icon right next to the CC icon. Click on the gear icon and select "Playback Speed"...select .75 or .5 speed. 🤣

[@gardenheaux]

Thank you for your feedback, Cheryl. I'll consider it for my future videos.

[@unionse7en]

Thats PEX not PVC, PVC costs about 3x as much as PEX. If you are going to use PVc, use the gray PVC electrical conduit, as it has better UV resistance than plumbing pipe. PEX is so much cheaper it can be the way to go.

[@unionse7en]

also if you make a wooden base frame and connect hoops to that you can remove the whole assembly very easyily. Possibly even hinge it.

[@gardenheaux]

Thank you!

[@mellowmel8645]

Is this pex or pvc? It looks like pex

[@gardenheaux]

I am pretty sure it is PVC. That's what I intended to buy.

[@gardenheaux]

just watched the video again and the label for that rolled up one says pex! thank you, good looking out.

[@mellowmel8645]

@@gardenheaux no worries. I made these hoops yesterday with my daughter for some totes. I secured them by drilling 2 side holes and using zip ties

[@gardenheaux]

@@mellowmel8645 That's awesome!!! I love this

[@colettehennebury4454]

@@gardenheauxdid you use 1/2" pexx pipe? Do you think the 1/2" PVC piping would have done a better job or do you think they would be about the same?

Prices have increased significantly since this video.

Netting is fine until you see a dead bird which has got in but couldn't find a way back out and you are directly responsible for its death. No nets for me - not any more.

[@gardenheaux]

Sorry to hear about that. Fortunately I haven't experienced that.

[@nowirehangers2815]

Use the right kind of netting

[@NubianP6]

What would you suggest instead?

[@natashan.202]

@@NubianP6 Garden mesh. It's too fine to get caught in and functions the same.
