I have had such hoop structures over young tomatoes in my garden and watched a powerful spring storm, with wind far in excess of 30-35 mph, hammer the tunnels. I fully expected to see the plastic blow away, but everything held. I was amazed.Herrick Kimballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17116051416696885647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13729569.post-87541104454991966742014-06-13T01:16:24.846-04:002014-06-13T01:16:24.846-04:00I have this apparatus on tap for the fall garden t...I have this apparatus on tap for the fall garden transplants. The thought has come to use it for some winter gardening. The issue is that we have winds that have torn previous hoop covers apart. Do you think with this being anchored in the pallet that it could sustain winds of 30-35 mph.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13729569.post-82557281124371557162014-05-07T08:33:33.426-04:002014-05-07T08:33:33.426-04:00I have wanted a greenhouse for a long while.

Your pallet greenhouse must have put a seed into my brain because yesterday when I walked by our unused(for 10 years) dog pen it just became my new greenhouse( with a hoop roof ) in my minds eye in a moment!!! It was there right in front of me all this while, just needed a bit of a mind shift , thanks!

The size is large enough to hold all my planters and I like how when watering the excess flows through the pallet floor. The big improvement over what I did is that you can move your model around so even though I haven't used your design, I can see that it is good design based on my experiment.
