I am convinced you can build anything out of PVC...
the hoophouse I built back in February just wasn't sturdy enough to withstand 75 mph winds...this happened while I was gone to Mississippi about 12 days ago...
soooo...I decided to use "old man's tinkertoys" to build something much more sturdy...this is 1 1/2" schedule 40 PVC...I think this will withstand anything short of a tornado mother nature can throw at me..
now that I have this done, I can deal with the yellowing tops of my overwintered scorpions...dang, these thing are Mg hungry...
