Is there any type of clear or translucent roofing material that allows light to get into a coop but ALSO offers some insulation from both heat and (more importantly) cold. I'm in New England and still in the planning stages for my 5 hen coop but I would like to have a lot of light, a lot of ventilation possibilities (because its terrible hot and humid in the summer) but also be able to have it very insulated for the bitter cold of mid winter. Windows that open sound too tricky for my novice building skills - but maybe I could have permanent windows on one side and screened openings that I cover up during the winter months. Is there anything I could use for roofing that provides insulation by itself but still lets light in?
