I use the hoop cloches. I pound 1/2" rebar into the ground and hoop a
10' or 20' 1/2 " PVC pipe over it. I line five of these up and string them
together with a 1x4.
I then put the plastic ovet them and hold the edges down with dirt and a few
large rocks.
The ends I put a 1x2 across the hoop and staple the plastic to it. The i
use old storm windows to covet the rest of the opening.
I used this last year and it with stood a few days of 50+ mph winds.
I have a plan if any one wants one.
I plan on using a top vent this year.
