Exclamation Lost Creek Tubing Benders
Has anybody used the tubing benders from Lost Creek Greenhouse Systems, or built a greenhouse of this type? I'm thinking about an inexpensive way to build a greenhouse for this winter. While it normally doesn't get that cold here for long periods of time, according to NOAA, San Antonio has averaged 21 days/year below freezing over a 60 year period, and I have seen it in the teens near here in the past 6-7 years. Anyway, I'll need a place for my ficus this winter, and it'd be a nice place to get some other things started that my wife would like (there, I've justified it ). This looks like it might be a good way to go.

Thoughts?

Don't buy one.....Borrow one...
And yup I have one.
Another way might be the hoop house that BB9 posted last year..
Always explore the options before you buy ...

Gee Whiz, Irene. Is there anything you DON"T have? Is it the 10 or the 12 foot size?

Who is BB9? I can't find the name in the member list. Never mind, I found him.

Yep. Apparently, if you have to ask, you don't need to know., lol. Thanks for posting the link. Saved me having to look it up again.

Well, you said BB9, so I tried to look up BB9.

Back to the subject, though. How well does that little dude work?

Hmm... we might have to fix that. How big of a hoop house were you planning on building? I was thinking something like 16 or 20 feet long, depending on how much space in the back yard it would take and on how wide the hoops are. Did you get the 10 ft bender or the 12?
