A 48-by-22-foot house on 2-by-3-inch galvanized-pipe skids.

A temporary ski tip made of ¼ inch steel on the front of a skid for a sliding greenhouse.

When a heavy sled is towed across the ground its front edges tend to sink in, and that’s what these movable greenhouses do too. We deal with that in two ways. First, we had a pair of 16-inch-long “ski tips” made out of ¼-inch steel. On moving day, we fit these ski tips under the front of the skids. Second, we place a 12-inch-diameter, 12-inch-long section of round log about eight feet in front of each ski. The pulling cables, which are attached to the front of the house, run over the top of the rolling logs to provide some upward force.
