I make tension straps for the plastic to keep it from billowing. Cut off on both sides of valve of a bicycle inner tube. Tie a rope to each end of the bike tube. Toss it over the hoophouse and tie each end to the ground. The rubber tube lets it expand and contract yet keeps it tight to the frame. One every 8' will keep the plastic snug and in good shape.
Over heating can be a bigger problem than cooling in the winter. A 60 degree day outside can be 90 in a sealed greenhouse. Dont be to quick to put them outside if the temps havent settled. A hard cold night can set you back more than you would gain from going early.
