I made the first tunnel like this almost 20 years ago and it is
still standing with the original plastic although one of our dogs
made a big hole in a corner of it. We were building a barn at the
time and the weather was atrocious and I needed a quick shelter to
be able to weld and paint in the dry. That tunnel was 9 meters long.
High tensile rebar steel comes in 6 meter lengths here so there was
a bit of welding involved in this too. Advantage is that the tunnel frame can be moved with a very few people in one piece. Place tunnel frame where you want it. Dig a foot and a half deep trench all around half a meter away from the frame and in that the stretched plastic sheet is buried. The whole tunnel will bend a bit in high wind but it springs back up to its original position. One of the first things I did when we moved now a year ago is build 6 of these tunnels.
