Still unsure of what type of plastic or shade netting to use for the top an some of the sides.. I want good light penetration an kinda wanted it to be water proof so I was leaning towards plastic, just can't decide what type, thickness an brand to go with. Anyone have a link or know of a website where I can get a roll or panels depending of the type of plastic?? Any help will be appreciated !!

The local hardware store has the roll type of polyethylene 4 or 6 mil 100' for 35$. Comes with a 4 year product warranty an 2 year store warranty. Good deal seeing as I was gunna go with the panels but for a 40'Lx40'wx8'h enclosure it was a little expensive for 1 more season before I have to replace it.

it's called kool ray-

it's a p[aint you dilute with water to achieve a prescribed transparency, 60%, 50%, 40%, etc. cold weather makes it wear off so in the fall and spring you are running on just plastic. it is easily applied with a fruit sprayer and is 22 bucks a gallon(does a 24 x 96 house).
