Looking forward to your postings. My technique for hoop houses: use rebar inside pvc and cover with white polycarbonate (diffuses the light) screwed on to pvc. Stands high winds and snow loads,usually a foot or less, Mostly slides off unless snow is real wet. Tried the tripple woven poly but had to rachet it down tight to prevent flapping which shortens its life span drastically.

My dad had a greenhouse business and had a lot of hoop houses. He got me connected with a place to by UV treated special plastic (4 mil). It warranties for 4 years. I have had one GH last over 8 years with the same plastic. The windstorm took out mine at the 4 year mark. I use 3/4 or 1 inch steel conduit that electricians use. I tried PVC the first time and then switched to the conduit. During the heat of the summer I have shade cloth to cover the greenhouse and ease up on the intensity of the sun through plastic.
All that counts is that it works. ;0)
