Just a note: PVC and polyethylene film don't get on, so paint your frame first with an acrylic paint. no idea about clips and stuff.

I had no idea about the Polyethylene plastic. So all I have to do is paint the pvc? OK... anyone else about the clips? Thanks for the info Nathan.

We use what are called zip strips on the ends. It is a channel of metal with cuts in it every so many inches so it can be bent. The wiggle wire is wire that is bent up and down and can be stretched. The plastic goes across the channel and the wiggle wire fits into the channel and secures the plastic. We use 6 mill weight plastic made for hoop houses or high tunnels. We got ours from a local supplier but you should be able ot find a Charleys or Farm Tech. We have irrigation pipe that is bent and extenders welded on and they sit down on rebar that is down in the ground quite a ways so it can stand up to wind and snow. We also have end vents and sidewalls that roll up to vent in the summer.
