I have a greenhouse I use it as a mist unit and it is insulated with
bubble wrap then each year covered with a white plastic film (which is a
bit of a faff) this year I have to replace the bubble wrap so I am
thinking to use the white poly-carbinate twin wall sheets as these will
be longer lasting and easier to keep clean - But I cant see how to fix
them in place? I use the little green turnbuckles for the bubble wrap is
there anything longer? or a different idea that anyone on here uses or
has seen?

If it's standard 4mm polycarbonate sheet, why not drill through the
sheet and fix standard 10 mm length crop-head bolts for fixing stuff to
the channels in aluminium greenhouses? If it's wider than that, you're
into longer crop-head bolts, and they're not cheap:

A bit cheaper:
