The site mentions that the structure used a roll of 6 mil clear poly. If
you use this be aware that the ordinary stuff that you use as a paint
drop cloth is not UV inhibited and will break down in sunlight. It could
last as little as 1 month, but some brands will probably last longer
(don't know which ones). Since this is a seasonal structure, it probably
doesn't matter, but don't plan on using the same plastic for both the
spring and fall.
