How To Build A Hinged Hoophouse For A Raised Bed Garden:

https://off-grid.info/blog/how-to-build-a-hinged-hoophouse-for-a-raised-bed-garden/

A hinged hoophouse for a raised garden is a great project for DIY gardeners. As the name implies, it’s basically a greenhouse-type cover—may it be plastic, fabric, or netting—placed over pipe arches that bend around a raised bed in a ‘hoop’ shape.
