Try sliding patio door panes or window pane units at Habitat for Humanity.
Ever hear of Google? Great place to look for DIY greenhouses.

Thank for the input and yes I have heard of google. I decided to ask if anyone had suggestions on my greenhouse setup, because i have spent more money at times doing it myself and i know there are more experienced persons on this forum in that area

First have to secure bottom to cinder blocks somehow. You can secure plastic by using cables across like an X. Or you can buy some that already have covers that fit:

id anchor that thing with more than some cinder blocks. once you put plastic on that thing its basically a giant kite.

I actually still have the plastic for the green but when i say extreme we can easily get up to 50mph winds where i live. Maybe the crisscross cable will work to keep the plastic secure to the frame.
