Calculating the Quantity of Posts Needed:
●
Determine the length of your greenhouse (in feet).
● Divide this length by 4 to calculate the number of hoops.
● Add 1 to this result for the total number of hoops and, consequently, the total
number of fence line posts required.
Example Calculation:
For a greenhouse that is 100 feet long:
(100
4) + 1 = 26 hoops. This means you will need 26 fence line posts.
÷
Preparing the Ground Posts:
● Cut each post into two 48-inch sections to serve as ground posts.
●
After cutting, mark a point 4 inches from the top on each ground post to drill a ¼
inch hole. This hole is for attaching the hoops to the ground posts.
Tools and Tips for Cutting:
● We recommend using a reciprocating saw or a circular saw equipped with a
metal cutting blade for efficient cutting.
● Secure the posts with a vice or clamps to ensure they remain stable while you
cut.
● This preparation should take around an hour. While a hacksaw can be used
instead of a reciprocating saw, it will significantly increase the time required for
this step.
