Finally got the hoop houses together. This year, I shortened the width to make a 8'x6' box. This allowed the 10' pvc to bend into a higher arc. Hopefully this will keep them from collapsing under heavy rain.

I also added some close-pin style clamps to hold the ends on. Last year I boldted them on with carriage bolts, washers, and wing nuts. Needless to say it took a while to open them up and I lost all but 1 wing nut in the soil. This should work much better.
