Movable Hoop Houses
Wednesday, October 7, 2009 at 1:37PM 
The idea we would like to incorporate into the smartFARM is to have movablehoop houses. Being able to move these around will help maintain the soilproperties so they do not need to be repaired every few years from bacterialgrowth. By moving the hoop houses around, we will also be able to startthings earlier, like tomatoes basil cucumbers and peppers, and extend itemslate into the growing season. This will allow for the farm to increase theirincome during a season while providing more local produce for the people inthe CSA program.
Moving the hoop houses will require a little bit of labor, but it will onlyneed to be done a few times a year. Using hydraulic lifts, we can prop upthe structure and using wheels, we can move it to its new location. A moredifficult part will be holding it down so it does not fly away in a windstorm. We need to determine the locations around the farm for the hoophouses so that we can pour small foundations and relocate the hoop houses tothese for support. In these foundations we can have anchors that are easilyattached to the structure to keep it from blowing away and when we are readyto move them, we can unscrew them from the foundation and relocate them. Foran example, we ran a few calculations and found some possible anchors in theSimpson catalog. For our calculations, we assumed the structure would beable to withstand the forces from wind and the cover would not tear, we werejust looking into the hold downs for the structure.

Perhaps we don't even need footings in the corners of the building. Instead of taking the standard shape of a hoop house, perhaps we design the form of the hoop house to work for us aerodynamically to keep the hoop house solidly on the ground without any foundation. That with the weight of the structure could potentially be all we need!
I love the idea of portability within the Smart Farm. I think this way there are no limiting boundries posed by permanent buildings or foundations. There was a question posed in class that took the idea of these movable hoop houses and introduces a helical piling rather than a set, poured foundation piece. Another good point that was made in class was that of the necessary structural components that would actually be required. If the hoop house was engineered to incorporate such factors as; its weight and a combination of aerodynamic design and location placement, then it might not require a lot of hold down forces. At least not permanent ones. This way the options for placement of these would be much more favorable to the dynamics of the farm.
