Bug Screen Greenhouse?

So I'm setting up a new garden with raised beds. Last year our garden got mobbed by bugs after the hay cutting nearby, so I was thinking about getting a bunch of bug screen and making a giant walk-in bug screen enclosure, similar to a greenhouse for most of it. It gets pretty windy here and I'm in zone 6a. So here are my thoughts:

If it's strong enough, I wanted to use PVC or EMT to create the square enclosure
I wanted to make it so I can "roll up" the bug screen after a certain point to allow for pollination.
In the winter I would take down (and likely replace) the bug screen itself, but, leave up the frame.
I'll probably embed the main supports in concrete or something.

I can find PVC fittings:

Also thought about using "Kee Clamps", but, they are /really/ expensive, and I wanted to keep costs (somewhat) down.

Thoughts? Suggestions for materials?

Hi Nate,
Welcome to Permies.

If you don't have a snow load and you are not settled on square, I would suggest some covered rebar or plastic conduit for a simple and inexpensive greenhouse. It should be able to handle the wind, but with snow you may need a bit more structure. Eliot Coleman explains how to build them in this Youtube video. I think it starts around 11 or 12 minutes in for the part I am talking about. I built one, though I ended up with a wooden end and a door, vs just plastic.

Thank you! I think I will do the rebar method.

Next question - is there an easy effective way to tape/connect two insect screens together? I'm having a hard time finding a single screen that could fit over the whole proposed area of the frame, so, I would need to tape/connect two screens together.

If it were me, I'd sew the panels together on my sewing machine, ideally looking for a UV stable thread which you might be able to get at a shop that sells awning material.

Hi Nate,
I like Jay's idea of sewing it together. They do have those C-shaed clips for holding plastic to round supports. I imagine that could work if you could overlap on top of a support and then clip them to it. The problem would be the number of those you would have to use to keep the bugs out would be huge.
