My question is---- How do I attach the film to the PVC pipe?
Thanks

By buying poly clamps from Territorial Seeds for example. They are
cylindrical pieces of plastic that will clamp the film to the pipe.
They are very snug and will not move even in strong winds.


....and this plastic film needs to be replaced about every year from
being in the weather. You're better off going to Pep Boys store in
your area, buy a 10x20 foot pavilion and enclose the sides with the
sides they sell as accessories. Let me go see if I can find a link:

These are just to give you ideas. If you were to buy good UVB and UVA
resistant poly plastic, it would cost almost as much and you will have
to change it out quite a bit.
