Cattle Panel Hoophouse Material List | Do's and Don'ts

There are a few little misc items not listed but this will definitely give you a good start, especially for researching current prices. I have not included prices here because they have increased so dramatically. 

In the fall of 2021, it cost approximately $650 to build my 10’ x 20’ hoophouse.

If you do not purchase a door, you will need to purchase extra wood for making one.
