Recycling on the Farm: Hoophouse on the Cheap

While on a building tour of alternative building, I saw many wonderful outbuildings, fences, etc built from found materials.  It inspired me to post a couple from our property.

 Here are some projects from my farm we have created from recycled materials.  The hoophouse is a project in progress.  The frame is from a trampoline.  We've already used components from the the trampoline to build a moveable pen for our geese, a rolling bar to easily move a goat shelter and the trampoline itself as a shadecloth.  Haven't found a use for all the springs....yet.  

 Hoophouse from a trampoline       Recycling a satellite dish

 This 'duck dome' home is topped with one of the many satellite dishes that were on the property when we bought it.   The metalwork was so good, we just kept it around for a few years until my husband and son built this as a mother's day gift a couple of years ago.  My sweet ducky girls sleep safe now.
