Grow More With a Spacious 16' Wide DIY Greenhouse
Create a protected growing environment with the Bootstrap Farmer 16' Wide DIY Hoop House Greenhouse Kit. Standing approximately 9.5 feet tall at the center, this greenhouse provides generous room for garden beds, growing rows, trellising, and taller crops while helping you extend your growing season.
Designed as a cost-conscious DIY greenhouse solution, this kit includes the specialized greenhouse components needed for the build while allowing you to purchase lumber, line posts, and 1⅜" top rail locally.

Customize Your Entrance & Greenhouse Setup
The included components assume a single-door greenhouse configuration. The greenhouse's locally sourced lumber allows the end-wall and entrance construction to be completed as part of the DIY build.
Because the greenhouse relies on locally purchased frame materials, review the manufacturer instructions and Buy Local Chart before beginning construction so the required materials are available when you're ready to build.
Preparing for Your Build
Before assembly, review the materials required for your selected greenhouse length and purchase the necessary lumber, line posts, and 1⅜" top rail locally.
The shipped kit supplies the specialty greenhouse components, covering, connectors, hardware, and ground-post driver, while the locally sourced materials complete the greenhouse structure.
Having both the shipped kit and locally sourced materials ready before beginning can make the assembly process more straightforward.
Assembling Your 16' DIY Hoop House
The 16' 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.
