You don't need much space for a set of K9AY loops. Gary used 85 feet  
for the loop length, but you can use a shorter length, too.

I have a single K9AY loop of 44 feet that is mounted under a small  
oak tree. It works very well on 80m, to a lessor extent on 40m and 160m.

If you have a shrub or tree that can support a wire 10 feet or so  
high, then you should be able to configure a K9AY loop.
