Installing the Ground Posts
First, measure out your area with temporary stakes by squaring the Hoop House.
Squaring The Hoop House
Making sure that your first four corner posts are square will provide you with a base to
work from to ensure the rest of the posts are easy to install plumb and level.
Tools
● Hammer
● Tape Measure
● Bubble Level
● Ground Post Driver (Included)
Using one of the following methods, set your
corners.
Measure Method - First, measure length to length.
Then mark the width; it should be 10', 12', or 20',
depending on your kit. Then, measure diagonally,
making sure the diagonal measurements are equal
to each other. Double-check that all length, width,
and diagonal measurements are equal, and install
stakes on each corner. This ensures your
greenhouse will be square.
Pythagorean Theorem method - Sink a marking stake starting at your first desired
post location. Use your tape measure to measure and mark a line at 3 feet and a
second line at 4 feet perpendicular to the first. Then, place a line directly across both
marks. The third line should equal 5 feet and give you a square corner.
You can extrapolate from this triangle to the desired length and width to sink your
second and third stakes for the corners. Use a mason line from both the second and
third stakes to intersect at a right angle for the location of the final corner post. Check all
measurements.
