Caterpillar Hoophouse With a Twist.

Warning: Multi page blogpost incomming.

Been looking into gardening a lot the last year or so. Tomatoes are my favorite food. I have walked through a garden with a salt shaker more than once. Hydroponically grown tomatoes all taste like ass. So, i descided to empty a room in my house and grow my own. 3 months of profanity later and about $1,000 down the drain I gave it up. Well, now it's winter again and I had my last descent tomato a month ago. This triggers me. I just bought a house with a lot of large South facing windows (Northern hemisphere burger.)

If I can manage to not genocide tomatoes and a few other things then In February I want to build a large hoop greenhouse. I got some good deals and have around 100 T posts and somewhere between 40 and 60 hog panels. My father-in-law gave us 4 panels welded to a pipe frame when he moved. (It was his hog pen.

I figured these would make good front and back walls.

Building it isn't the problem since I have a welder and can get affordable scrap metal rods and pipe from my best friend. But i do have a few hurdles most people don't have.
