The "Big House" is 48 feet long (7 feet tall at center). It covers two of the growing plots and will house two pumpkins throughout the season. I won't do this again. The length made it tough to put up the plastic -- and make it hold. I finished the structure today and it held for awhile. While driving home I got a call from another gardener who "didn't want to upset me", but the plastic had popped free and the was lying on the ground. All that work -- and I get to do it again tomorrow. Next year I will limit the structures to 25 feet. They're easier to build, and seem to fight the wind better. PLUS, I won't be tramping about the growing area all the time. I can learn to walk outside.
