Greenhouse: Cattle Panel Hoophouse, 1 by stressbaby

OK, here is what he said. Basically, he recommended a storm door for the ends, framed out with 2x4s. I suppose a storm window could be framed out on the other end if you had a smaller hoophouse and didn't want a door at each end.

Here are his instructions: Build the frame for the door with 2x4s. Extend diagonal bracing from the top of the vertical door frame elements out to the corner where the cattle panel touches the ground. This will make two triangular spaces to the sides of the door. These can be covered with film. There will be an area with one straight side and another curved side, shaded blue in the diagram below. He advised this be filled with a cut piece of plywood, so that the panel could be attached (in any number of ways) to increase the rigidity of the hoophouse.

Here is a diagram. I hope this is helpful to you. Post pics when you get it up. SB
