I'm so HAPPY to share my NEW 12' x 16' HOOP GH with yall!
I did raise it up above ground level with 3" of sand and 6" of gray pea gravel.
Have (8" x 8") drainages ditches on the sides and back, and with plenty of pvc water lines. Also electric with a electrical fan vent (recyle house roof vent) in the back. The walls are 48" tall, (1/2" ext. plywood) before the panel wire was added.
This GH can easily be move to another location, if need be.
I have add 2 (14 x 27") small front windows and the 4 mill plastic. On the ends of the panel wire, I cut an old waterhose in half. An place it over the wire so the plastic wouldn't tear an staple the plastic under neath the 6" wire over hang.

The gravel helps keeps it warm and there's a small ceramic heater set on low during the night with 2 heat lamps in the middle. The temp stays about 20 degree's warm than outside temp. Will be installing a timer for the fan, during these warm winter days it does HEAT-UP!
Now whats left is to build a few tables...........

I've very HAPPY with my new HOOP SUN GH, I do have small Tin cover SHADE GH for cuttings & a green panel GH for shade lovers. My new SUN loving salvia's love there HOT house too!
