Default using greenhouse poles for building

Does anyone have an idea how I can construct a building using greenhouse poles? The poles I have were originally the mounts for the plastic cover of a greenhouse. They are aluminum poles 1"+ in diameter, maybe 1+ millimeter in thickness and curved in shape. In other words they form a semi circle round greenhouse. They are set in the ground (or in cement) in aluminum carrier cylinders. We bolted horizontal supports across the poles and the plastic was draped over it.
What I want to do is find a possible siding that will work with these poles, which, I presume, would have to be bolted or screwed onto them or onto clamps. I suppose the problem is the curve. Installing windows and doors into the siding would be nice, too, but, if that's impossible, windows and doors could be set into the ends of the tube that is constructed. Send email. Thanks much.
