Connecting and Setting Hoops

● Piece your hoop set together on a flat surface. For consistency, assemble all your
hoops in the same spot so they match.
● Using a #8 self-tap screw, connect the hoop sections together to prevent twisting
and separation. Screwing straight down while the hoop is lying flat will ensure the
screw is parallel to the ground once you raise the hoop.
● When all of the hoops are connected, place them near the ground posts.
● With a partner, stand the hoops up, place one side into a ground post, and then
the other. For consistency, have the same person go first on every hoop. At this
point, do not force the hoops down into the ground posts all the way. Adjustments
will come in the next couple of steps.
● If you install each end of each hoop into the ground post to the 9'' mark you
made, and your ground posts are level. This should make your hoops the same
height along the length of the hoop house.
