I use sheets that I got from the local hotel that they were going to throw away. Check with your local chain hotel and find out their schedule of when they sort sheets. Then I use 1/2 inch PVC pipe, 10 foot piece cut in half, push those in the ground and attach the sheets to them suspended with tarp clamps. Cheap way to cover for frost.

It is pretty easy to find 30ft wide row cover on the internet. try Johnnys seeds. I have 1/2 inch pipe hoops over rebar stakes to hold the cover off most of the leaves. The advantage of row cover is not just frost protection, but also increasing daytime temps into a range the pumpkins will become active.
hold the edges down with sandbags, walking boards, or both.
