So, you think wrap around the PVC on the ends and at top and bottom??? What about attaching it and then the U pieces to attach it to the house? Won't that puncture it = holes???

Holes will not hurt it.You just don't want it pulling against the holes.Here is what I did on mine. The two outside pvc ribs I screwed 1/4" bender board on top.Laid the cover over that and screwed plastic furring strips on top.So the cover is sandwiched between the bender board and furring strip,or just us two pieces of bender board.

I have no clue what bender board and furring strips are LOL here's my girly non constructional side! so basically these boards would attach to my house?with the plastic sandwiched between them? Thank you for being patient with me!

I knew you didn't know. For the top and bottom do like Bob3 showed.On the two end ribs use tape if it will hold.

This is bender board.I used it in place of pvc pipe on both ends.I then stapled the cover to the board and place another board on top and screwed it in.Lumber yards know what bender board is.

you mean only like one board on the end but bending like the pvc does for the rest of the hoops but to make it easier for the plastic to attach? sorry just trying to understand! and it looks like you have one of these running straight as well perhaps as extra support?

Exactly. Yes I added extra support. I used redwood bender board but a composite material,plastic, would be better ,last longer, as long as it is rigid enough to hold the bow.
