Hoop Houses vs. Green Houses: What's the Difference?

Do you want to maximize crop production while keeping costs low? 

Understanding the differences between these two structures can help you make the right choice for your farm or garden.

Hoop Houses vs. Greenhouses: What's the Difference?

While both hoop houses and greenhouses serve similar purposes, there are some key differences 
between the two. Here’s a quick breakdown:

Construction: Hoop houses are typically made with steel bows and covered with a flexible polyethylene film. They are usually temporary structures and don't require concrete footings. On the other hand, greenhouses are more permanent, with solid walls made from materials like glass or polycarbonate, and often include a concrete foundation.

Growing Methods: Hoop houses are primarily used for growing plants directly in the ground. Greenhouses, on the other hand, are often designed for growing plants on tables or other elevated surfaces.

Cost and Maintenance: Hoop houses are generally more cost-effective than greenhouses. They require less maintenance and space, making them a practical option for small-scale farmers.
