Hey nice shade hoop house! looks professional!

could you enlighten us as to how you built it? is it a kit? the hoophouse kits I have seen have been super expensive like 5 grand with the plastic covering. looks like you got the good aluminet shade fabric. nice!

interested to hear more! I think tomatoes grow better in the shade in our hot environments.

Thanks. Go to Johnny's seeds. The have the bender and some printable plans. Fence posts and chain link top rail. 1 3/8 I went about 3 foot centers on 1 5/8 post. We have high winds (it is holding up nicely). I built it extra sturdy. Guessing around 1500.00 to 3000.00 depending on how you cover it and pricing. Size is 24 x39. I went a little overkill with the channel and wiggle wire. I can change the shade and plastic combinations easier.
