Im not sure I could make a hoop tractor by myself; I could see those PVC pipes zinging thru the air when I tried to bend them. I would think it would be easier doing them like this gal did her kennel panels. Really neat job there.

you cannot do one yourself! we had four of us holding the bottom together with our legs!

definitely easier to do the kennel panels if it were a one person job. i love my hoop house, but it's a 'helper needed' project for sure.

Halo,

I can just picture it!

I had wanted to do one of those pvc hoop ones originaly, but soon realized that I wouldn't be able to do it by myself. I suppose that's how my few remaining brain cells managed to come up with this idea while perusing the ''junk" in my shed!

Halo, it is really easy to roll in a straight line. But a pain to slide to the left or right. In retrospect, the twirly wheels would have been better that the straight ones I used. As soon as I can put some funds together, I am going to buy and switch out the wheels I used. Although at the pace I work, it may not be until Spring!!

Several years later ... Still using your tractor? Any new changes or ideas after using it awhile?
