Overall, the hoop house project really put a focus on the
importance of teamwork and small scale material and joinery tests. It was
difficult to find times to meet as a group during the week, but by
keeping up a fairly rigorous pace and constantly pushing ourselves to evolve
our design, we came out pretty well at the end. The one big issue was our
joinery, and the way our hoop house was integrated with the site—that is to
say, our structure blew over and most of it fell apart within just a few days,
mainly because it wasn't properly secured. When we rebuilt it, we anchored our
structure to the site in several places, staked it into the ground, and moved
it to an area with less intense windage. The rebuilding was definitely a trying experience that we
can learn from for our next construction project.
