A Space-Smart 10' Wide DIY Greenhouse for Your First Season Extender
Whether this is your first greenhouse or an add-on to a growing homestead, the Bootstrap Farmer 10' Wide DIY Hoop House Greenhouse Kit gives you a protected place to grow without taking over your property. At approximately 8.5 feet tall at the center, it's a narrower build that still leaves room to work inside, and you choose a length from 20' to 100' to fit your space and budget.
This is a DIY kit, so the frame lumber, line posts, and 1⅜" top rail come from your local home improvement store rather than being shipped to you. The kit supplies the specialized greenhouse components, including 6 mil, 4-year greenhouse plastic sized to cover the entire greenhouse and end walls, spring lock wire and lock channel, cross connectors, a ground-post driver, frame hardware, and detailed assembly instructions.
Please note: Lumber, line posts, and 1⅜" top rail are not included and must be purchased locally. A hoop bender is also needed to shape the top rail into arches and is not included. This greenhouse kit is not eligible for returns.
Why Choose the 10' Wide DIY Hoop House?
- Narrower footprint — A good fit when you want greenhouse space without committing to a wider structure.
- Choose your length — Available in 20', 40', 60', 80', and 100' lengths, from a starter greenhouse to a larger growing space.
- Approximately 8.5' center height — Enough headroom to walk the center aisle and work comfortably inside.
- Plastic included, 4-year rated — 6 mil greenhouse film is sized to cover the whole structure, including the end walls.
- Everything specialty is in the box — Spring lock wire, lock channel, cross connectors, hardware, and a ground-post driver come with the kit.
- Buy the bulky parts locally — Pick up lumber, line posts, and 1⅜" top rail near you instead of paying to ship them.
- Guided build — Manufacturer instructions, a Buy Local Chart, and an assembly video help you plan.
- Free shipping — The kit is ready to ship in approximately 2–3 business days.

Locally Sourced Metal & Lumber

Buying the lumber, line posts, and 1⅜" top rail locally avoids shipping these large, heavy materials as part of the greenhouse kit.

How Much Growing Space Do You Get?
The 10' width is approximately 8.5 feet high at the center, which leaves room for beds, rows, and a walkway. Your total growing area depends on the length you choose:
| Greenhouse Size | Growing Area |
|---|---|
| 10' × 20' | 200 sq. ft. |
| 10' × 40' | 400 sq. ft. |
| 10' × 60' | 600 sq. ft. |
| 10' × 80' | 800 sq. ft. |
| 10' × 100' | 1,000 sq. ft. |
Your Entrance & Greenhouse Setup
The kit is built around a single-door configuration. You'll construct the door and end walls on-site from the locally sourced lumber listed on the Buy Local Chart.
Review the manufacturer instructions and Buy Local Chart before you begin so the materials are on hand when you're ready to build.
Getting Ready to Build
Start by checking the quantities for your chosen length and buying the lumber, line posts, and 1⅜" top rail locally. You'll also need a hoop bender to shape the top rail into arches.
The shipped kit supplies the covering, connectors, hardware, and ground-post driver, and the local materials complete the frame. Having both on hand before you start keeps the build moving.
Assembling Your 10' DIY Hoop House
The 10' DIY Hoop House is assembled on-site using the components supplied by Bootstrap Farmer together with the lumber and metal purchased locally.
Bootstrap Farmer provides detailed assembly instructions to guide the construction process.
