Garden Bed Hoophouse


Adding a hoop house over your garden bed can protect your plants from frost and help them get the sunlight they need during the colder months. You can make your own hoop house to suit your garden beds at little cost. 

Most DIY garden bed hoop houses are constructed with PVC pipes, greenhouse plastic, and clamps as the main components. Some people choose fabric netting over plastic, especially in the summer to keep bugs out.

There are many online guides to help you decide what’s right for your garden. Feel free to read through these examples and come up with your own plan:
