We have an 8x8x8 cube as a covered run for our chickens. In our first winter, I purchased clear vinyl table cloths ($10 for 5x7 panel), and paint sticks (drill holes through a stack of them so they won't crack) as long staples to hang up the vinyl as siding (leave 1 ft -2 ft on top open for ventilation). Most of the panels ripped by strong winds. We survive the winter by patching up the rips with packing tapes.
Second winter, I found a much stronger clear "marine vinyl" (used by many restaurants for the outdoor seating shelters). They work beautifully, no rips, and we were able to remove the vinyl in spring and rolled up the sheets for next winter.
The marine vinyl was more expensive but definitely worth it!
20 gauge, 72" wide, $11.44/yard.

We use the same paint sticks trick to hold up the vinyl, worked well, the sticks, nails can all be reused!
