We used 2 pvc and 3 steel greenhouses for about 20 years. We always used the greenhouse cover plastic that was 6 mil, not the hardware store 6 mil. We could get about 4 years out of a 3 year rated cover on a steel one, but the pvc reacted with the covers and they would only last about 2 years.

You'd be surprised how much wind a greenhouse can take if the cover doesn't flap and the wind doesn't get under it. When you thump a greenhouse cover it should sound like a drum.
