I did a quick Google search and didn't like too much what I found.

I'm looking for something larger than your average backyard hoop house but not so big as to be considered commercial. I realize that's pretty broad so maybe something aroun 20ft x 80ft?

I'm not against making my own, but I would want to do this to save on the costs... If I can get something for around the same price it would cost me to build it myself, then I would probably opt to buy.

I don't really want to make it out of PVC, and I shouldn't need to worry about snow.

All suggestions of brands, plans, or anything else you guys think could be helpful would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

What are your thoughts on this?

Think it could be scaled up pretty easily and stay sturdy?

If you are considering building, and want something a little sturdier then a PVC Hoop house, here is a site I found interesting. This can be scaled up or down to fit your needs without too much trouble. You can cover it with a single layer, or double it as they have. This is what I am considering doing on a scaled down version. Its interesting reading if nothing else. Good luck.

I like churro's, built using fence top rail and a popular hoop bender available on the web.

This was a good one too, with downloadable PDF for instructions.
