Super easy hoop run?

Looking for plans for a super cheap and easy pvc hoop run that I can stand up in and would have a door. Any help is greatly appreciated!

This is mine, but we used no PVC. In fact, we used no framing at all except around the people door. It has withstood everything wild Wyoming can throw at it, without a single repair, year after year. We are now convinced that the way we did it works so well because with no framing to stiffen it, it actually gives and flexes with the weather. The lattice over the top also flexes, shades, looks pretty, and protects the greenhouse-type clear tarp we use in winter from the little pokey outies where the panels are wired. Snow, winds over 60mph (with a NWS officially recorded gust of 90 mph two Januarys ago, heat and strong sunlight just don’t faze it. It’s roomy, easily expandable by just adding a panel, and rock solid. You can click on “My Coop” under my stunningly gorgeous avatar (teehee) to get to our build. The run starts about halfway down the page.

These are in summer, with landscape fabric as sunshades. The lattice fencing serves no real purpose here except to make it look pretty. Living in town on a corner lot, we didn’t want it to be an eyesore for folks driving, strolling, or bike riding by or going past on horseback. Later in the year we added a panel to expand it.

We love this run! Does it show?

PVC is neither cheap nor that easy to work with.
It also is not real strong unless you go with larger diameter, which is more costly and harder to work with.
Go with livestock panels if you want a hoop coop.
