Les the only reason I mentioned the vapor barrier is Snappy said two things.
1, temporary.
2, two months,

Those 2 months more then likely it would be January and February.

You are right the stuff will break down fast if left up all year long because there is no UV protection.

Snappy what ever you do you will have to vent the top or even on our cool sunny days your plants will roast.
I put a thermometer in a cold frame I built a few years ago and at 50 degrees it got to over 100 in the frame with the sun out.
something you could close at night would work nicely.

Some brooder/heat lights should keep it warm enough at night.

By the way the setup looks nice.
