A garden hoop house is a small greenhouse that will raise the air temperature by 20 degrees.  Use over your vegetable garden box or pond. It's easy to build and is approx. 4' tall x 3 1/2' wide x 5' long.  The hoop house I made inserted right inside my above ground pond.

spray your lights and sockets with LPS penetrant lube or WD40 to help prevent moisture problems in the socket . WD means water displacer you can spray it on any outdoor electrical or your ignition to keep dry or dry off
