Double-poly prevents flapping! The air inside the two layers of plastic provides significant buffeting against even our 45-65 mph winds!

Yes, Robert.

The question I have is "Is the flapping harmful to the greenhouse plastic or is it just unnerving to the farmer?" I'd go with the former, if the hoophouse expert had not told me otherwise. Of course, I'm looking for a 2nd opinion on that.

My house is not inflated and is now 1 layer rather than two because I'm off the grid and have yet to find an inflation fan that will run at the low amperage my solar panels can provide. (That's my 2nd solution.)

Thanks -Allan
