a good insurance policy might be a suggestion

not knowing where you are located,,,hoops unless totally mechanized require attention,,,good luck

zap, when the sun comes out...temps will cook plants in a hoop house, unless ventilated!!! Automated venting systems are available, but costly!!! Peace, Wayne
