Hoop And Shade Cloth System for Protecting Nursery Seed Beds

Since 2002, Towner State Nursery in North Dakota has used a hoop and shade cloth system to protect seed beds from unpredictable weather events that occur during the growing season, such as torrential rains, severe windstorms, and hail. This system is inexpensive to build and can be customized to a seed bed’s width. For other nurseries that may be experiencing (or anticipate) unpredictable weather patterns, a hoop and shade cloth system is an inexpensive solution.
