He strapped a harness on a bull moose & used it to pull the archway upright. How else would he do it by himself out in the middle of nowhere.

Yeah Don it should , it is also more economical as I can build the whole thing
,for less than the shipping costs of a regular high tunnel.
Lol Russ, I was going to try that ,then realized the moose have already dropped their antlers and wouldn't have place to tie the rope. So ,I had my son help me ,who is taller and stronger ,than me. you build them on the foundation wall of the gh ,on top of each other , put some temp post brackets in place where they will stand and slide them into the brackets and then tip then up in place , you are not actually picking them up ,as the base never leaves the ground , so not as heavy, went easier than expected

So Dale are you expanding in order to grow another pumpkin plant or just to give them enough room inside?

Just to give the one plant more room ,though I could sneak a couple cabbage plants in there ,if you want to help a brother out ....
