(I've had a pvc hoop house smashed due to snow before, so I'm thinking a more pointy arch would be helpful in some situations.)
Conceptually, I'm thinking a person could attach two pieces together to a point at the apex, then maybe run some lengths of bailing wire across a little lower down (just above head height) to encourage it to keep the right shape?
Thoughts?
I thought this would be a great idea for my beans and squash but now I'm thinking on a bigger scale. And yes. Zip ties are great!
I have my boxes at the base as a stabilizer and since I'm a bit over 5 feet tall, an old hunk of wood works well as a spreader. I'll probably need to make bigger notches in it so it won't fall on my head. If I add two more panels and a customized pool noodle or two, this could just work through the winter! I love those pool noodles. When a hot water connector sprang a leak, I saved my carpet by slicing a noodle on one side and wrapping it around the pipe and then directing the leak into a large bucket. Though not the best material environmentally speaking, I'm sure there's a book out there about 101 pool noodle ideas. If not, there should be.
