Mini Greenhouse

This past week, my group and I started to really get going on our project, Haiden, Diego, and I all went to Home Depot to get all the supplies we need to make our project as good as possible. We got 50 feet of PVC pipe and several attachments to go along with it. We also got plastic sheeting that you can see on the current hoop house in the farm. Our project is basically a mini hoop house for the strawberry bed. Strawberries are among the most demanded item from our farm and we believe that this will help bring some revenue in on market days. Not only will it bring money in, strawberries and extremely delicious and we want to make sure that the strawberries being grown at the farm are the best they can possibly be. You never know, maybe one day the Redwood high school farm will be awarded to best strawberries in Northern California! We have to go back to a hardware store to buy a few more items, however, we are confident that we can make our project something the farm uses for a long time. We really wanted to build something that would be used and where we could come back in years down the road to see how he helped the Redwood farm. Below are some pictures of what we expect our project to look like. —Evan

We are using PVC pipe, not wood, however it will look similar to this. We liked the idea of the retractable roof so you can get in and weed around the strawberries, but our design has shown to be light so you can just lift it up and move it.
