Row covers
The first row cover design is made with semicircle arches connected
with hardware at the intersection points. Use carriage bolts on the outside
to prevent abrasion of the poly film. Pvc tubes can be used and have notched
sections that are drilled for the carriage bolt. With galvanized conduit,
intersection points can be flattened with holes made for the carriage bolts.
The second row cover is the Octa - Tetra Truss with Perpendicular Bisector
struts added to give extra support to the film covering. These can be made
with galvanized conduit 1/2" to 1-3/8" size. Here it is shown with 1" tubes,
length 35 ft, width 7 ft, height about 5 ft. The height is adjustable -
make shorter or taller to meet your requirements.
