Spring Wire & Lock Channel | HOOP HOUSE 101 Ep13

[@Jimmerca]

Great Hoop House Vlog you answered some of my questions. One thing I am wondering is how do bees get in to pollinate vegetable plants if it’s completely covered up with plastic along with shade cloth??

[@BootstrapFarmer]

We suggest using Greenhouse varieties like F1 self pollinating. Here’s an article for more info pcmg.ucanr.org/files/171548.pdf

Do you HAVE to wiggle wire channel the hoop itself or can you just wiggle wire channel the base boards and end walls???

[@BootstrapFarmer]

Do you have to do the hoop. It’s the main part that keeps the roof super tight. Mind you it’s not each hoop, just the end hoops.

@BootstrapFarmer appreciate the response. I know it's a 2 year old video LOL. Just building my first hoop house and wondering how many channels I need

[@KumiOriFarm]

Are you saying multiple wiggle wires fit in this channel for different layers or it needs to be removed and reinstalled with multiple layers held with a single wiggle wire?

[@splatzrock]

You can install multiple items like plastic, insect netting, and shade cloth, each with its own wire.

[@BootstrapFarmer]

Yes, multiple wires so each layer can be tightened individually.

[@esgaralvarez2815]

How many poly layers can fit in the channel?

[@BootstrapFarmer]

At least 3. We also make double channel and a single triple deep channel that can accommodate up to 5-6 layers depending on thickness. www.bootstrapfarmer.com/search?type=product,page,article&q=channel*
