Our ‘hoop house’ at Jung’s was made of a thick semi-clear plastic and we had two layers on it.
I worked there for 10 years and we replaced it twice - once because it hadn’t been done in the DECADE prior and was a mess; the second was due to a bad wind storm and it pretty much shredded all our hard work from the first time around. Bent some pretty sturdy steel poles, too. We were all surprised it was still standing!
My greenhouse here is made with the poly panels. If we need replacements, we’ll go back to FarmTek in Iowa, just across the Mississippi from us. That place is ‘Candyland’ for me, so I am not allowed to go there unsupervised, LOL! :)
Overstock sale on Greenhouses, right now! *SQUEAL* (Just for ideas, of course!)
It’s really impressive. They have all of the big barns they build set up and running for cattle and dairy and chickens. They’re big into hydroponics, too.
And, you can see the ‘Field of Dreams’ house and movie set, not too far from there, too. It was a fun Day Trip for us, a few years ago.
I bought a huge roll of 6mil viz-queen for my hoop house. So far it’s stood up to some serious wind storms and at least two rounds of hail without tearing up. I’ve got enough of it to re-cover the hoop house three times. I don’t mind using a bit of it to do the greenhouse.
10-4 on FarmTek. They make some very cool stuff. I should probably be looking there before I reinvent the wheel on some of my hare-brained ideas. lol
