This mobile greenhouse system utilizes a heavy-duty wheel with bearings at each set of hoops mounted on a specially designed ground post. The wheel/ground post mixture is seated on a rail, which allows the greenhouse to go along the desired growing areas. Rolling Thunder’s design allows for the easy movement of a more substantial greenhouse with a typical tractor, and a smaller greenhouse by simply two individuals.
The rail will not have to be pinned or staked, but should be set on solid base of stone dust to prevent sinking in to the soil. The 1st few hoops will be the trickiest, and usually require several models of hands because of the fact that the wheels, surface posts and hoops are erected simultaneously. Nevertheless, once a couple of hoops are completed, the rest of the greenhouse rises quickly. There is usually significant bracing in the greenhouse to prevent any motion from the wind, and temporary bracing can be used on the end walls of the greenhouse for balance purposes.
The design allows for flexibility, with various height and width possibilities. A moveable greenhouse offers the organic grower flexibility for seasonal growing, resulting in resourceful production. The Rolling Thunder is an easy way for the organic grower to make a variety of crops from time of year to season using the strengths of both crop rotation and crop protection.
