This Easy DIY High Tunnel Can Be Built In ANY Yard For Gardening

[@btchhopperou812]

Electrical supply houses will cost MUCH less than Lowes or HD for the PVC conduit- also, schedule 80 electrical pipe is considerably more durable, as well as stronger and will flex MUCH less as opposed to schedule 40. The sch. 80 will likely last longer too. One more advantage of going this route is that most supply houses sell 20' 'sticks' of pipe which most come with a 'bell end' at one end of the pipe- this is essentially a built-in coupler, which may also save a few bucks. Most places will deliver for free or a small fee, so if you don't have a means to transport, this helps out. All this said, IF someone already has the pipe but it IS standard irrigation PVC, this can be used with great success by simply SPRAY PAINTING the PVC pipe to provide UV protection, I used a darker color paint, but any color should do the trick- even if it is just painted in the places it gets UV exposure from the sun! Just a few tips I felt may help folks save a few bucks, I;ve spent over 35 yrs. in the landscape and maint. industry in So. Florida, as well as being the son of a nurseryman to boot. Love the channel, especially Dale LOL, always great to include your best friend while doing what you love to do!

[@TheMillennialGardener]

I get commodity rate sheets for my job (I'm an electrical engineer), and with the outrageous spikes in resin costs, believe it or not, Home Depot is currently around the same cost. For what it's worth, at the time of filming, Home Depot was $2 cheaper than Lowe's per conduit, so always check the website. Since conduit is a commodity, it always fluctuates in price. While Schedule 80 is thicker-walled, it will be a lot harder to bend. Schedule 40 is ideal for easy bending. Once you start getting into Schedule 80, SRD11, SDR9, etc., it gets so thick and costly that it doesn't make sense. EMT is cheaper than Schedule 80 right now, so if you really want something that'll last, just get yourself EMT and bend it. For me, that's too much effort at this time. If I get 4 years out of the hoop structure, that's great and I'll replace them.

I'm sure Dale will thank you when he's done lol. I got a 10×20 carport in a box (on clearance) that I'm making into my greenhouse this year. I'm setting the feet in dollar tree shoe boxes filled with cement because I can't put tposts in my yard. A friend gave me 6ml clear sheeting I'll be used for the walls. Worked well for a hay barn a few years ago so I thought I'd try it again. Happy Growing. 🌱

I’ve considered the carport idea, but I can’t get away with it in the HOA. This is the best I can do in my little neighborhood 😂

[@Earthy-Artist]

Love the adventures with Dale! I may be able to use only the rebar and the electrical conduit to make arches over my raised beds, because they don't need to be that high. Thanks for pointing out that the electrical conduit is more UV resistant than regular pvc.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

Yes, you can definitely do that. Just make sure you pound the rebar on the side of the bed opposite of where the conduit is "pulling," if that makes sense. You'll want to put the rebar outside the bed so when the conduit pulls tension inward, the rebar will brace itself against the lumber.

Nothing easy is worth doing, as they say. I work a full time job, plus this KZbin thing, so I've found the best way to do these projects is just slow and steady progress. An hour or two here and there adds up to big things at the end of the year, and it makes the work very manageable. When you look back at what you've accomplished over the season, it's very satisfying.

Love this idea! Could you do a video on how we could use this structure with a row cover to prevent rain from getting through in the summer causing blight along with shade cloth.

[@DavinStewart]

Good idea and nice video. I may try making something like this soon. One thing that occurs to me is that with something of this scale you should consider installing a center line pole that will help stabilize the hoop structures. As it stands now, I would expect the hoops to lean in different directions over time. I'm also interested in seeing how you handle the doors.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

I'll make that call depending on how it handles the wind. I considered it, but there wasn't a good way to install purlins with PVC. I would probably have to glue 4 conduits together and use zip-ties in a crossing pattern for stabilizing. Last year, the shade tunnel did not need a purlins, but it was narrower. We'll see how this holds up.

[@markbaker1827]

I’d be interested to hear how things have gone without a purlin this year. Great videos. I’m thinking of using your concept but I’m curious if somehow it could be sized to 20’x20’?

Could you use t and x connectors for the center join the run another line of conduit through the center of the arches for more stability?

[@TheMillennialGardener]

If you chose to cut the conduits in the center and install 4-way tee's, you'd have to be careful to cement the conduits in very well and let them cure, because they will hold quite a bit of tension. The bell ends are a lot deeper than most fittings, so keep that in mind.

I already have wooden posts in place that I can attach the rebar to. Do you think I can get away with using 3 pieces of the conduit cut to an estimated 24-25 ft. in length to span the 20 ft. width? I am wondering if it will require center supports. I have not worked with this conduit before.

PVC does not break down within a season or two, I made drip lines from pvc pipe, schedule 40, I used them for at least 15 years until I moved. The new owner is now using them. I did not paint them, also left them in the raised beds year round. Schedule 80 is stronger and will last longer but don’t dismiss schedule 40. I made arches for frost protection from it also, again they are still holding up just fine.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

That is going to depend on the product, the thickness and whether it's treated. Your product may be UV treated, or it's such large pipe that it simply lasts a longer time. What I am referring to are 1/2 inch untreated white PVC pipe from the plumbing aisle. That will break down quickly, because it is small, thin and untreated. You will find it will only last a couple seasons with some variance based on % sunshine and solar intensity. Obviously, all PVC products will last longer in Portland, OR, than Phoenix, AZ.

[@cindyeasterling6917]

This just may work for us. It would be so much less expensive. We had terrible weather for gardening last summer.

Really nice looking tunnel. I'm wondering how you'll deal with the snow load during winter. Those are long expanses with some pretty flat areas along the top.middle portion of each hoop. Will you add supports down the middle row? I have a hoop house made from cattle panels, which I thought would be very strong, but the snow collected on the hail cloth and flattened the panels out in the middle. I'm still working on getting them back into their original curved shape, and will know not to leave the hail cloth up during winter -- unless maybe I also have a layer of plastic on top, so snow can slide off.

[@DavinStewart]

After having tried this for a year now I now realize that I should've paid the extra money to get metal conduit instead of pvc. You'll need the extra support and strength to withstand the tension of pulling the covering tight. Also, I highly recommend adding a center purlin to add stability to the entire structure. You may also want to take the time to grind down the sharp corners of the t-posts since they can easily puncture delicate plastic.
