With strong winds, heavy rainfall and snow, winter can take its toll on even the hardiest crops. A simple row cover can protect your plants from the worst of the winter weather, and dramatically extend your growing season.
Row covers can be expensive to buy but don’t require a lot of materials or time to make your own and the benefits are well worth the effort.
In this short video we show you how to make a simple hooped row cover to protect your plants, extend your harvests and get even more from your garden.

Hi, great video Can you tell me what software you were using precisely? Thank you
great video
Re-bars. Great idea you clever person you.
I heard very good opinions about the Woodglut plans.
Great information! This was easy to put together! I'll be trying Shade Cover this year first! Still a bit hot for the greens and the bush beans in my opinion, but I couldn't wait to start.
excellent idea,
Thanks
I did it with the Woodglut plans.
very good Mr. Hopes Good luck.
How do you water it when you have to keep it on for a long time in freezing cold England?
what a fantastic idea, i work on a caravan park so have all of that available , guess what next weekends project is .. thanks for this gr8 idea
I garden in zone 3 in Alberta Canada with a relatively short growing season. This will help I hope!
Just setting up some raised beds for planting – will be employing this solution. Only 1 problem – where do you get the cut rebar? It is expensive!
I'm a bit confused, he talks about doing something with a Dropdown menu but didn't mention the name of the website. Also I didn't hear anything about watering, when and how. I was actually researching ways to get rid of squirrels and this lovely thing popped up.
Is poly better than fleece for this?
Those wire are extremely expensive
but how do you get to the crops at the back of the tunnel without taking the whole thing up ?
The straight sections of pvc pipe aren't as expensive as the flexible lengths, and they don't seem to require a length of pipe tied to prevent sagging. Although I did have one set too close to the house which wasn't able to shed water fast enough and did eventually collapse.
Instead of rebar which is a couple dollars a foot around here, I went with a slightly larger sized section of pvc pipe cut into one foot pieces which were then hammered into the ground and slid the curved pieces into them. Instead of a bunch of bricks or rocks, I used a few 2 x 4 sections which can be rolled over to remove the plastic for watering, harvesting, etc.
What is the width and length of the one you made?
Is there any way to purchase that software to own?
Feeding the YouTube algorithm. Great video. I appreciate it.
Anyone know how i get rid of woodlice in the garden….
hi can a hoop house enough to prevent big animals to destroy it? like big birds or small foxes? i love your channel very helpful here gardening in UK
I love the idea and plan to build for this fall
does this still allow the sunlight to reach the plants
I've given up buying fleece row covers. Mine used to last 2 to 3 yrs. Now I'm lucky if they last a month. Paying too much for them to turn into a mess to cleanup in a month. Bits of polyester all over the garden. I feel my $5 tomatoes are not worth it. I prefer to use something that doesn't end up in the landfill right away. Tulle or plastic is what I switched to more and still looking for some light fleece that works. With temperatures reaching 45.6 or 114.08 f during the summer I may look into just buying screening to keep the bugs off.
I only have a small yard so grow most veg in pots. I find cheap plastic bell cloches work well for me.
Love this idea… just wondering how you water, do you unclip all the clamps and remove the plastic cover to water morning and night?
