Actually, I'm surprised the Whiz hasn't already brought this up...does anyone else have a sore first finger on their dominant hand from putting the clips on and then taking them off their hoop houses?

Mark,, I'm surprised that no one told you to exercise that finger over the winter JUST to be prepared for this early season activity !!

I got some small spring clamps at Home Depot, they were 3 for $1.00. They work great, no sore fingers either.

The pkn supply source, that used to be available, and is now defunct, had pvc clips available...I am glad I bought a bunch of them. They clip right over the pvc pipe, and hold the plastic on. Wish I knew where they came from, as I will need more soonly. They were about 2.5" long, and I cut them in half, that made them snap on and off very easily. Peace, Wayne

You can always try duct tape. Seems to work with everything else.
