The material is basically the same as plastic sheeting material found at your local home builder store. The only different is the price and the appearance (clear vs translucent).It is simply too thin for my application. I did not feel it can handle the wind or foreign subject. No thickness was mentioned in the description. The illustration mislead me thinking the material is much thicker than actual. It is almost the same as your "clingwrap" material.I hope I can get my money back.
