The concept you speak of is a very common method of building a temporary green house covered with fairly clear plastic. I would think with a small amount of frame to frame bracing it would provide a sturdy frame for your plastic covering.I would provide some frame to ground tie downs ,maybe something like those auger in anchors used for different projects.Closing the ends to keep the wind out would be issue #1 I would think. The larger the structure the larger the PVC pipe rerquired,in some instances a tube inside a tube may be a good idea.1 1/2" PVC is good for about 20' wide structures. Wider than that would require larger tubes and here is where the tube inside a tube starts to become involved.Just my op's on this subject. I built a 16'X30' greenhouse using this method and ended up storing 3 small tractors in it for some one until the plastic let go and that ended that. The Idea is sound but plastic covering is not a long range solution to keeping the weather out.I don't know how these plastic tarps would handle the UV's etc. and I think a fabric tarp would not be the total answer either. A covering with some built in longivety seems to be your largest obstacle IMO.Good luck.Jh

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
