I have a hoophouse that I want to put back into service. I bought it many years ago and stopped using it because I got a better greenhouse.
The hoops are made from electrical metallic tubing. The hoops are marked 3/4 but the o/s diameter is 15/16. the ground stakes are marked 1/2 but the o/s diameter is bigger (I forgot what it is exactly). How is this stuff measured? The original instructions that came with it (its a kit) called for building a ridge out of dimensional lumber. I want to instead run 2 purlins made from new EMT that i would buy. But I would need some kind of fitting to tie it all together and I'm not sure what size to buy.
