Do you gather the plastic film on the ends to close them.

If not,

isn't the wind a problem?

I did not close the ends. The prevailing breezes are from the side. I suppose if we got any real wind, it would tear it down regardless. It held up ok for the couple of weeks it was needed.

Nice job. I am planning on covers for each of my raised beds this year. Hoops of PVC bent and covered with visquine or some equivalant.
