This video will show you how to build a Wi-Fi controlled SMART HEATED HINGED HOOP HOUSE for a raised bed garden that you can build in your backyard! See the MATERIALS LIST below for the required items. Many items are linked under Greenhouse Accessories in my Amazon Storefront* below.

If you've ever wondered how to extend your growing season, a hoop house may be the solution! Building a hinged hoophouse can extend growing season length for months, and adding heating elements can provide enough season extension to grow vegetables all winter long in many climates.

A hinged hoop house raised bed is a small backyard greenhouse lid that attaches to an existing raised garden bed, so this is like a small DIY greenhouse - a heated greenhouse - for little money!

This hinged hoop house DIY design uses incandescent lighting connected to smart outdoor outlet that you can operate via a free app on your smartphone so you can turn the heat-generating lights on and off at your command from anywhere in the world where you have a data connection.
