Hi V,
Yes it is tough and strong.
You can bend it in half and it will not break.
Has a better shelf life than fiberglass. Long time in sun ok.......
It is polycarbonate
It also cancels out the bad sun's rays......
It is used for greenhouses
MotorCycle helmet face shield
Bullet proof glass applications. etc.....

Comes in a variety of color...Sheet or panel or waffle board look.
White is nice, and does help keep the sun from being too hot.

I used clear on my greenhouse.

I have used cell like panels for high end jobs....
Look on the internet for
Commercial Greenhouse Materials: Suntuf Corrugated Polycarbonate ...

Anyway it comes in many brands.........


How's the cost compared to the old fiberglass flavor?
