Financials - Small Hoop House

March 1st, 2010
Coyote House Farm | Blog

Our new small hoop house is adorable, but is it financially sound?

Here is the bottom line on the financials for a 5’x5’ hoop house.

Raised bed - recycled scrap wood.  $0

Wood screws to construct raised bed - $8.67.

PVC pipes - 1/2” inner diameter, 10’ length (5 at $1.16 each) - $5.80

3/4” copper 2-hole pipe straps, package of 25 (we used all but 1) - $11.12

Wood screws to affix pipe straps - $2.00

So far, the hoop house has cost us $27.59.

In addition, the hoop house will need a covering and clips to attach the covering to the structure.  Materials for that are on order, as follows:

7.5 oz PolyMax All-Purpose Fabric, Clear 120” (quantity 15 feet) - $45.00

Labor Saver Fabric Clip, .706” OD pipe, 20 @ $.80 each - $16.00

Total cost of hoop house with covering:  $88.59

Three farms are starting from scratch.

They are turning the dirt and hoping to be successful enough to turn a profit, and to become a valuable part of their communities as suppliers of organically grown food.

Peaceful Valley is giving them a head start by offering them special pricing as part of this Freshman Farmer program.
