Another way might be the hoop house that BB9 posted last year..
Always explore the options before you buy ...

I have both the 10 and 20 foot hoop benders from lost creek. They are to reasonably priced to borrow they have a new site www.hoopbenders.net only $39.00, also you can catch a really good deal on then, on ebay sometimes starting at $29.99 auctions. I have built five greenhouses using them and I will tell you there is nothing faster, Ive used the hyd. benders and made several bends, fact is I can complete bends on twelve pcs of 10'6" lenghts while you are making those 8 separate bends in just one. They now send a new bending video with the benders. Bottom line is I don't need to find one to borrow when ever I want to build a greenhouse, it's haning in garage.

Irene,
as the wind is usually blowing and my wife, tho patient, is not real excited about flying below the plastic kite, I have not taken pictures of putting on plastic. Several of the big greenhouse sites have nice sedate pictures of people putting plastic on. I promise I will try and do it this year- should be good fun.
John

I've got a question for you. On the 10 ft hoops, am I assuming correctly that you use two joints of top rail to form the whole arch? Also, do you have to make the hoop into a full arch like the drawing on the left, or can you leave straight sides on it like the right arch?

When I put up my plastic I'll be sure to have the wife armed with the Camera.
