hoop house

Curved garden shelter

A hoop house is a simple greenhouse structure made of plastic sheeting stretched over a series of curved hoops, typically metal or PVC pipe.

Unlike permanent greenhouses, hoop houses are inexpensive and often temporary, used to extend growing seasons by protecting crops from frost and wind: We start our tomatoes early in the hoop house.
