Feeling overwhelmed by all the options for hoop houses?
Not sure which size will truly support your growing goals?
Whether you're a backyard grower or a large-scale farmer, choosing the right structure can transform your growing season.
Here’s how to pick the ideal hoop house for your growing needs:
🌿 16’ Wide – Compact, Durable, and Perfect for Small Plots or Backyard Growing
Best for: Small farms, homesteaders, and gardeners looking to extend their growing season with a high-quality, easy-to-install hoop house.
Our 16-foot-wide hoop house kit packs all the strength and durability of our larger tunnels into a smaller footprint—ideal for backyard spaces or small plots. It’s designed to withstand northern winters while giving you maximum growing space and protection through the coldest months.
Standard Features Include:
- US galvanized steel ground posts, bows, purlins, and wind braces with an easy bolt-together design
- Durable 6-mil, 4-year IRAC polyethylene double-layer cover
- Heavy-duty double-gusseted truss cross-brace package on every bow
- Wind bracing with 4 or 8 diagonal braces, depending on structure length
🌱 22.5’ Wide – The Perfect Balance of Strength, Size, and Budget
Best for: Mid-size farms, market gardeners, and expanding operations looking for durability with a more affordable footprint.
The 22.5-foot-wide hoop house is a leaner, more compact version of our 30’ gothic high tunnel—but it brings all the same trusted strength, walkability, and grower-friendly features to the table. Built to thrive in northern winters and made from US-manufactured galvanized steel, this polytunnel is ideal for farmers who need serious performance on a tighter budget.
Highlights:
● Strong: double-gusseted cross-braces span every bow and stretch 14.5’ across the tunnel interior, supporting trellising and overhead irrigation systems while giving the structure excellent wind and snow resistance.
● Rugged: Reinforced galvanized tubing and durable woven poly panels are designed to last through season after season.
● Walkable Sidewalls: With a 6' sidewall height, growers enjoy full perimeter access to every inch of growing space.
🚜 30’ Wide – For High-Volume Production and Maximum Versatility
Best for: Large farms, wholesale producers, and year-round growers who need strength, efficiency, and adaptability.
The 30-foot-wide gothic high tunnel is our flagship structure, built for serious growers who need a rugged, walkable, and accessible system that supports intensive crop production.
These structures can range from 36’ to 192’ in length and are packed with professional-grade features that make farming easier and more productive—especially in northern climates.
