Yes you can but 'builders quality' is not stabilised for ultra violet radiation and lasts no more than a couple of years. If you are re-covering, seek out a Visqueen cover in a colour/film to suit your requirement  and pocket.

My cover is falling apart... bought from a "reputable" supplier of Polytunnels but they had obviously had it in store too long.. very definite fold marks which could not be stretched out and despite complaints no dice with supplier... so it keeps splitting along the crease marks. Got out with a clear duct tape again on Saturday before the worst of the storm and it has survived.

ACE:
I could recover it if I sorted the frame with out with a 'dockyard spanner' I did get the frame from somebody about 5 years ago and got the proper polytunnel plastic to cover it. But £80 for a good replacement tunnel and an extra metre in length is tempting me. The old one owes me nothing now and the top hoops would be good for a brassica net, the other poles would make a good support for my grape vine so only the cover which is too far torn to re-purpose. What I really want to know is it going to be green or clear.    https://www.amazon.co.uk/Garden-Point-Polytunnel-Greenhouse-Galvanised/dp/B07BCGKS1P/ref=sr_1_48?keywords=poly%2Btunnels&qid=1581499254&sr=8-48&th=1

Obelixx:
Sounds like a plan but I'd still go for clear over green for the extra winter light.

Tee Gee:
I'm with obellix clear cover with net vents.
