  1. Interested to see what happens when they get some snow load. My cat tunnel had issues this summer with wind causing the first hoop to slide/collapse in despite the strapping being wrapped around it. Ended up using a tech screw through the strap into the hoop to stop the slippage.

  2. Thanks to you Curtis I am turning beds as we speak for an early spring start. A video on how to harvest properly around low tunnels would be welcome. Thanks for all your help.

  3. If you weld a piece of steel plate say 6 x 4 abut 8 to 10 inches down on the re-bar so it is buried well into the ground and face it parallel to the hoops they will be much harder to move but still be easy to pull out.

  4. Why aren't you using P17 floating row cover ? Maybe I already know the answer "because of the risk collapse with snow, wind… If not, would you use it on your farm ?

  5. You might consider terminating the strapping at the 45 degree hoop, and connecting that 45 degree hoop to the rebar stake with a strong rubber strap or even strong bungee cord (this will maintain a constant pressure on the entire assembly).

  6. Hey Curtis, I've been looking for a roll of that strap material. I know you get inundated with questions but if you happen to see this could you tell me where you source the roll from please?

  7. Curtis, you're amazing. One question (that I suspect has an obvious answer) has been burning a hole in my brain: To cover or not to cover? Why cover some crops and not all? I have a small enough space that I could conceivably cover the whole thing as one tunnel/greenhouse – but I wonder if that would be some kind of mistake? Thanks!
