I thought of doing that but where I'm at there a lot of wind all day
Go to youtube and start watching videos. There are lots of good ideas, some spendy and some down and dirty.
One down and dirty I saw was a 'cow panel' (welded wire fence panels) 5' tall and I think 16' long or maybe 20'. Brain fade!
Made a base frame, and formed and arch with the 'panel', then bought GH roll plastic to stretch over it. Not as high roofed as I'd like, so if I were to ever do it I'd put a 3' or so base wall under it. This would provide more 'ceiling height' for the heat to escape up and then be vented.
I do like the Solex product much better. It's polycarbonate twin skin built a lot like corugated cardboard, so it provides a bit of insulation as well. It is sold in rolls and is, of course a bit more money.
Just thoughts..... Maybe the 'cow panels' with solex attached? It'd sure be sturdy. You can use multiple panels so the length increases in 5' increments. It looks a lot like a 'hoop house', but stronger than bear's breath.
This'll get you started.

This is a super simple greenhouse anybody can build.
use round iron 0,5cm thick with plastic tube on the outside those are set 20 cm down in the ground, 1 meter spacing.
use sting around every arch that is fixed to iron pole at each end to give some strength to the structure
Greenhouse plastic around the frame - cover with soil and large fan in the end creates a negative pressure so the plastic is sucked into the frame.
Flextube in the other end for intake and u got a proper ventilation - a important thing in greenhouse growing - u want large air exchange
