Trampoline hoop house questions...

I'm cleaning things up over at my yarden and came across the trampoline frame I had stashed there.
It seem like an easy path to some covered storage that will eventually become a growing space.
Looking into it, most people just use the hoops and add lumber as needed.
My  impulse is to use the other parts that came with it as purlins/ridge poles, and turn the feet into skids.
Keeping it mobile has advantages, and I think any adequate lumber would be very heavy.


I hope to post some photos of the rough draft soon, but before that, some  questions:
Can I stretch plastic directly over the green metal frame or does it need a buffer?
If it needs a buffer, how much of one?
Would duct tape do?
How about bicycle  innertube or  tires?
Will the plastic react badly to tire rubber?

I hope not, I was considering using tire rubber to affix the plastic to the hoops and purlins.
1x2 wooden strapping is my fall back plan.
I might try try cut my own from 1x4s, but I haven't got a table saw, and ripping is supposed to be difficult/dangerous.
Used garden hose is also an option, but I have other uses for that.

This is not the most in depth answer, but I would suggest buying the cheapest plastic you can find and just give it a try. As long as there are no sharp pointed places the plastic will probably last longer than you think. Even if it gets some holes in it, it will probably last longer than you think.

One thing to remember is that with plastic covered greenhouses, keep the plastic tight. Lose plastic rubs, and catches the wind more. Both of those things will cause problems with your greenhouse.

Here's an article from U. of Delaware Cooperative Extension: no PVC + greenhouse film

Galvanized steel seems to be okay, and what most frames are made of, aluminum is okay too, and what most wiggle wire channels, and other greenhouse extrusions are.
Some damage can come from heat (dark/black) parts, or abrasion, like if the plastic isn't tight and flaps in the wind and rubs. Tape under where the plastic will touch works (a greenhouse supply should stock some) , or paint.
PVC as mentioned in the article, will attack the film, unless fully painted.

If there's any holes from it's former life, make sure they aren't sharp, deburr with a countersink, or use a rounded punch to dimple it inward slightly, or file/sand it smooth. Another thing to look out for are "weld spatter" sharp pokey bits from welding...

Sound advice, from each of you!
I have rolls of dumpster doved(dived?) plastic, so why not try it?
I have seen reports about pvc ruining plastic, but I wasn't sure about metal.
The frame is a very dark green, so I think I will hit it with some white paint and knock off any burrs with a grinder.
I've been thinking, they use tire sidewalls to hold down silage plastic, so it might be fine in contact with my plastic
Good enough to start off with.

I got a chance to mess with parts a little bit more.
Turns out my long  strait pipe cannot easily slot into the holes meant to receive the feet of the  trampoline.
I will need a bit of something that is roughly 1  and 7/16  inches in diameter to bridge between the two.
I have some ideas.
1. I could get an oversized pipe and cut a slit down one side.
Once this "C" section length of pipe is compressed enough it can be inserted into the ends of the two pipes that need joining.
2. I could get some slightly undersized pipe and wrap it with tape.
3. I could get some wooden dolls.
4. I could hammer oversized wood down the long piece of pipe splitting off excess bits by brute force.
I would then trim the remainder to fit in to the other side with a wood cutting angle grinder blade(not the chainsaw one!)

All options can be reinforced via through bolts and/ or screws.

Anybody got any other ideas?
