Last weekend I got the hoops in place with the connecting pvc “spines” running the length of the structure for stability.
I decided to try a better venting scheme this year with exterior wooden slats running a couple of feet above the ground down both sides. When done, I hope to have an easy system rigged to roll one or both sides up to the wood, maybe on pvc “rollers”.
Home Depot had cheap but straight cedar boards that were the right size:
As before, we’ll know how good the ultimate design is by next spring. In the meantime I need to actually finish designing it.
