You're in the right place, bailey  :D

a quick use of the search facility reveals these for starters (one of them was started by Jamie a week ago):

I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

They links are the Norfolk polycarb greenhouses but bailey was asking about ones covered with poly-sheeting (like a polytunnel) and I've had no experience with those.

Quote
from the Norfolk Greenhouse site: The PVC clear sheeting (on a roll) excludes all drafts when seam-sealed with transtape (supplied) and has long tails to be buried in ground or under flagstones to give sturdy anchorage

I have experience of a Norfolk greenhouse and their sunroom

When I lived in England in the 80's I had one of the greenhouse's and found it pretty good the runners for the door were a bit stiff scraping and screeching every time you open and close them, but apart from that if they are located in a sheltered position then they are fine, in those days the plastic sheeting was taped together so as long as it was done in a dry envoirenment it stuck together.

If you are considering buying a polycarb unit from them then I would say DONT, then fixing system is flimsy at best and you have to retighten the bolts on a regular basis and the wind has blown my sunroom to bits over this winter, making it look like something the tsunami has washed in, do yourself and your wallet a favour and either buy one of the smaller polytunnels or a half decent greenhouse.
Stop food waste, pick your own fresh every day
