This low tunnel build is not on YouTube as far as I can see. It is effective and inexpensive. Extend your garden season come fall & winter and start earlier in the spring. This is the cheapest way to build a durable low tunnel for your garden crops.

Check out Paul Robinson's channel for a cool tunnel design. Very versatile stuff. I'm not affiliated, just think it's cool.
I love these money saving ideas! Thank you ❤
Good ideas! Thanks!
I love it, thanks!
Hi Gary, just got your first book.
That's a nice idea. I may take advantage of it in early spring. Appreciate the video
I love this idea. I can do this over my containers for protection.
Excellent idea.
Very nice idea!!
You can put an empty plastic bottle over your post to keep it from tearing your cover it Works Great
I wonder if this would work for insect netting during the growing season??
Nice for ice/heavy wet snow steak the middle to prevent sagging.
Put a soup can or plastic container or coffee can over the wood posts to prevent ripping.
Really good idea thank you for that
You can turn yogurt cups over your supports so it doesn’t rip the plastic. I use soda/tea bottles over rebar or any impalement hazards.
Gary, your work is the modern, superior version of the County Agricultural Extension bureau.
Your laboratory of ideas is better, more pertinent, more inventive and more thoughtful of our home economics than any tax funded bureaucracy.
Bless you!
This will be great for me in the summer to protect from heat and is cost effective. I was gifted shade cloth scraps so i am all set
Loved this idea! Thanks Gary.
Thank you Gary, excellent idea, alot faster and easier than putting up the hoops, and alot easier on the old bones. Just what I needed
Makes more sense for those needing economical ways to grow food for gardening.
Very nice
