Low Tunnel Caterpillar Greenhouse Design Tips

[@ashleyhutchison5697]

This was crazy helpful for us to refine our low tunnel setup, thank you! Do you leave the hoops in all season, or remove at some point? I am thinking through the transition point from tunnels to when plants may need netting, then going back to tunnels in the fall and making this as seamless as possible.

We remove the plastic and hoops, but leave the hoops in the ground, making it really easy to reset them at anytime!

Can you show the bracket attached to the hoop? Thanks

Thank you for this detailed video! I'm on the fence between the LowCat Tunnels or this setup with the bender. I figure I'd need the hoops for insect netting at some point but don't have much space for storing them.

Thanks for watching!

Is there rebar in the ground acting as receivers for the conduit? Or is the conduit sunk only in the soil?

We have the conduit in the ground. If you want to use rebar ground stakes you need to use ground plates. If you check out "farmers friend's greenhouses" videos, they use this system on their low tunnel kits.
