A lot of covering materials are not transparent enough. The ones which are transparent to let light in also have the problem of heating up the inside to too high a temperature. You can cook your plants in a very short time if you are not careful.

What I will be doing is to install small fans on the flat ends of the tunnel with a thermostat so that I never have to worry about cooking my plants.

Take a look at farmtek.com. they have many covering material for you to work with.
