Hoop House Workshop

The first of two hoop house workshops will be this Saturday, August 25 from 9-11 AM at the Museum of Northern Arizona, Colton Community Garden. This is a working workshop. During this first workshop we will assemble the structure, plumb and square it and get it ready for covering. Lots of hands on jobs; holes to dig, drilling, bolting, etc. Hope to see you there! Carol Fritzinger is leading this project.

In a couple of weeks we will schedule phase two to cover the structure and build end walls. Should be tons of fun and a great opportunity to learn how to construct a hoop house.

The materials for the hoop house were purchased via an agreement with the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension Beginning Farmer Program. It will serve as an example of a hoop house that can handle lots of snow. Hopefully we'll get enough snow to test it this coming winter.

Cheers,

Fritz and Hattie
