One of the challenges we face is the constant wind from the SW or SE. We will get some gusts from the NE in January, but the big winds come from the south. In the past I have used painters plastic and build a five foot tall fence around the pumpkin. It worked pretty well, but it needed constant maintenance. The binder clips kept popping off the posts and the plastic blew free -- sometimes right into the plant. This year I am building two greenhouse structures. Both will be made from PVC pipe and 6 mil greenhouse plastic. The ends will be wood studs. The houses are 7 feet tall at center. The "Guest House" is 24 feet long.
