Default making cloches

New to gardening:

Which PVC corrogated roofing for home made cloches, I don't want to use polytunnels, or expensive polycarbonate.


The translucent mini 32mm approx profile ?
The larger clear 75mm profile ?

Is there much difference as far as plant growing as both let light in although the clear obviously lets more in.

The mini profile will do the job, wire hoops that are at least 12
inches longer than the width of the sheet so that you have at least 6
inches in the soil either side, more would be better, dont forget you
neet ot have something to close the ends.
