Feb 22 Update
Well we got the tunnel set up Sunday afternoon and Sunday night we had a pretty good storm blow through. the tunnel didn't stand up too well.
I guess next year I'll use something stronger in the way of support poles, maybe PVC,

Well, we finally got the plastic draped over the scavenged tent poles and have a high-tunnel that's about 6 ' high. I used 6m plastic, thanks to recommendations here. I d'ruther it was about 3' wider and about 4' longer, but it's doable for this year. Assuming, of course, that it stands up to the rain and wind. We might get some rain tonight, so we can see how it does there. Don't know when we'll get wind.
I think next year I'll try to frame it with PVC. For those who have done it, do you secure the plastic to the frame somehow? If so, how? I have it anchored with rocks at the moment.
