Do you wanna swap?? My DH has had a "hard day" today. Windsurfing this morning, cycling this evening....Last edited by Scarlet; 09-06-2013, 10:26 PM. -
all i did to get the shape was,draw a box to a scale,say 1in/1cm to a foot/the with and height,mark centre top and bottom,mark aprox 3ft straight for sides,then curve the the rest round,next put a straight edge on the curve to get the most suitable angles,when i got all the measurements,they were transfered to a large board and marked out,DH put bits of wood to make a jig for the other hoopie things when the first 1 was cut to my specifications lol,the angles i got using paper direct from the size on the board,all 3 angles were different,it worked a treat,although DH kept getting in a twist what went where,i knew,and thats what mattered,the 5 hoops were made at home,then joined by lengths of wood at the lottie,the wood stain makes the difference,and the top cover was machined together to get a 1 sheet,all it cost was screws,sweat and planning,if we were to do another,it would be better and easier to make the hoop in 2 halves,and join it as in a traditional roofing,better to both transport,make and easier to get the ridge,Last edited by lottie dolly; 09-06-2013, 10:37 PM.sigpicAnother nutter ,wife,mother, nan and nanan,love my growing places,seed collection and sharing,also one of these
