How do you minimise wind resistance and still keep them reasonably insulated from frost etc?

Just picked up this question which I assume refers to plants outdoors. As we have raised beds we have adapted them to take either thermal covers or insect netting. Thermal covers stop all wind, warm up the bed and keeps any straw contained. 
Was thinking of the polytunnels, or aren’t they the sort you can walk upright in?

Ok - our tunnel is 35 foot x 14 foot with a maximum headroom of 10 foot so comfortable to get about in. Double doors at each end which can be closed off in high winds with ventilation supplied through side vent panels. Our tunnel has raised beds so these lend themselves to straw insulation. 

My God GPR. .like a garden centre ..LOL
Sounds impressive !
my friend and I have just invested in a tunnel for our allotment.
Its "national League ", compared with your premier league, but hopefully will do the trick.
a lot of damage with cabbage whites last year and fly damage to carrots.
We are both still min the learning stage of this project..lots of mistakes ATMLOL

Good move Pimp. The dreaded cabbage white. We have learnt to cover our brassicas with an insect stopping fleece until maturity. It stops the butterfly & therefore the caterpillars. The fleece has very small holes to allow watering.

If you play country and western music continuously next to your brassiacs..that also ensures no flies will come near them ...
