I would be grateful for any advice on cladding a polytunnel, there seems to be about six different types,the poly will be for general use nothing specialist ???

Have a look down this.

Whatever you do the polythene MUST be UVI (Ultra Violet Inhibited), otherwise it will go brittle in a year or less.
