Closer Look
Here the end that is lifted can be seen in better detail. The actual plant may seem a bit foggy, and this is because there is insect netting behind the plastic so when it is lifted there is still a physical screen in place. This allows air to come in, but limits the chance that unwanted insects can enter. To help this air flow process a blue "Henry" (Carpet) Fan can be seen. This will help direct outside air into the hoop house and under the leaf canopy.
This is the basic set-up when the temperature is predicted to be 90-F (32-C) or greater. However, when the 95+F (35+C) with full sun is predicted there is another set-up that will be shown in a later posting. Roll-up sides would be much easier, but this set-up has proven to be effective, it just takes a little setting up to do.
