1100 Series Hoop House Package

Do you want commercial-grade growing space without a commercial price tag? Then the 1100 Series Hoop House Package is for you. It’s a strong, reliable cold frame — also known as a hoop house or high tunnel — built for serious, year-round production. Above all, it gives you a large, protected growing area at a starter-friendly cost. So it’s ideal for nurseries, market gardens and keen growers who need to scale up.

The 1100 Series owes its strength to smart engineering. First, it uses a heavy 18-gauge galvanised steel frame. Second, the unique 5″ roll-form components add superior strength for the size and price. Third, every part comes pre-cut and pre-punched. As a result, the structure bolts together simply and stands up to years of use.

Why Choose the 1100 Series Hoop House

This hoop house is all about strength, space and value. To start, the galvanised steel frame resists rust and lasts for years. In addition, the roll-form design keeps costs down while keeping the structure rigid. So you get a lot of protected growing area for your money. In fact, it’s a favourite as a starter house, an overflow structure or a propagation space.

The 1100 Series is also versatile and easy to live with. For example, it works with single-poly or double-poly roof covering. You can also fit it with shade cloth for hot conditions. Plus, the pre-punched, bolt-together parts and step-by-step instructions make assembly far simpler than building from scratch. As a result, you can get growing sooner.

H2: Hoop House vs Hobby Greenhouse — Which Do You Need?

These are different tools for different growers, so it’s worth knowing the difference. A hoop house like the 1100 Series is a large, commercial-grade structure for high-volume, year-round production — think nurseries, market gardens and propagation. A hobby greenhouse, by contrast, is a smaller backyard structure for home growing. So choose the hoop house if you grow at scale or need overflow space. For home growing, compare our backyard greenhouse range instead.

H2: Foundation, Siting and Setup

A hoop house needs a proper foundation, because it’s a large structure. So the recommended footing is piered concrete. In practice, the hoop sections bolt to the inside of the sidewall posts, then extend around 18″ into augered holes filled with concrete. (You supply the concrete and footing materials.) Next, choose a level, open, sunny site with good drainage. Because it’s a commercial-scale structure, check with your local council about building permits before you build. For siting help, the Australian Government’s Your Home guide is useful, and the Bureau of Meteorology helps you plan around local wind, sun and rainfall.

Please note: this is a non-rated (non-engineered) cold frame. So it isn’t designed for high-wind or heavy-snow regions. For exposed sites, talk to us about engineered options.

H2: What to Grow

A hoop house opens up serious, year-round production. For example, growers use it for vegetables, seedlings, propagation and nursery stock at volume. Plus, with shade cloth fitted, it suits hot-climate growing too. For season-by-season growing advice in Australian conditions, Gardening Australia is a trusted resource.

H2: Frequently Asked Questions

What is a hoop house? It’s a large, tunnel-shaped cold frame greenhouse with a galvanised steel frame and a poly covering. So it provides commercial-scale, protected growing space at a lower cost than a glasshouse.

What sizes are available? It comes in 20′ or 24′ widths, and lengths of 24′, 36′, 48′ or 72′. So you can match it to your operation.

What covering does it use? It’s designed for single-poly or double-poly roof film, which is included. You can also fit shade cloth.

Is it hard to assemble? Less than you’d expect. The parts come pre-cut and pre-punched for bolt-together assembly, with step-by-step instructions included.

Is it suitable for windy or exposed sites? No. It’s a non-rated cold frame, so it isn’t recommended for high-wind or heavy-snow areas. For those sites, ask us about engineered structures.
