DIY Corner Brace Kit for Hoop Houses
This kit adds rigid corner bracing to DIY hoop houses using locally sourced 1 3/8 inch top rail. The braces tie the end hoops to the top rail at each corner, reducing side to side sway and helping the frame stay square in wind and weather. It is a simple upgrade for growers who want more stability on long runs or exposed sites.
