I'd like to replace the roof on my solar (semi hoop) cabana. I
shelter a few plants in it in the winter (and myself too), so I'm not so
concerned about light transmission. The roof gets little light in the
winter, I have a south facing window that gets the most. Mostly I need
tough and flexible as this is curved. I have some cats that like it up
there!

I stumbled on this:

Any comments? Any other ideas?

polycarbonate maybe. it does bend just not a whole lot.

Some parts of the world, NZ for one, polycarb film seems to be
readily available. Not in Atlanta though, I'll look some more.

Try the clear plastic in the painting department.

Weather and UV will cause those cheapo painter's drop cloths to
significantly decay in less than 90 days. My frugal tenant used one
over her little rabbit hutch as winter protection, decayed to shreds
in short order. Try he http://www.teksupply.com/farm/supplies/home
