No I don't have a picture. The ones I make are small, about 6' X 12'. I
put 2' lenghts of
3/8" rebar into the ground at an angle 6' apart then slide a 10' section of
1/2" PVC pipe
over the rebar and bend it and place it over the opposite rebar and form a
hoop. I use
four of these each about 3' apart. These ribs then have 3mil clear
polyethylene sheeting
placed over them. I staple the sheets onto boards. I didn't use
reinforcing strips over the
plastic and under the staples so I'm going to have to re-do it. I knew
better, but forgot some
of my materials when I went to build them. At each end I put a stake at the
corners and staple
a 3 foot width of clear poly on that to close off the ends but I leave a
little room open at the
top for ventilation. They're fairly inexpensive to build and do the job
nicely until the plants
outgrow the structure. By the time they get to that size I hope I won't
need them anymore.
