Tammy looking good. Reminds me of T-Post's Mittleider had in his books. Here is a picture of my old greenhouse where I took the sides off and extended the roof. I to had lines running down from the ceiling attached to each container and used tomato clips to support the plants.

The nice thing about the roof is it kept the rain off the plants and I had less disease and better growth than my plants on the fence line. Ami

Looks good. They are similar to mittleider cause i am testing that method in the farden this yr. So far everything is looking good

Ami and Tammy those setups look great.

It's a potential combo of late-spring cold frame, plant support and excessive rain umbrella, all in one. Those in hot climates can even make use of the mid-afternoon shade it would provide. Lots of utility.

Going to give this idea some consideration for the 2014 season, thank you for sharing.

steve, next yr I Plan to place some clips along the edge of the bed frame on the long sides so I can stick the ends of pvc pipe down in them and bow the other end to the other side . Then when these hoops in place, I can put plastic over it to make a low hoop house to possibly get my tomatoes outside sooner next spring. Some using mittleider will place the hoops at the top of these frames and put plastic to make greenhouses.
