Has anyone used plastic lattice?

I've had it on the roof of my small run for over a year, it's been great, no problems at all. I also sandwich a tarp between two pieces and it helps keep the tarp secure if it's windy.
I used screws to secure it to the rest of my wood coop. I did not put hardware cloth on the roof but if I used it arond the sides I would have.

I use the plastic lattice as a disguise, too, from the neighbors who don't know I have hens. It is nice looking, but not predator proof at all.
I find it sags when I use a piece of it as a "roof" for the dog exercise pen. Basically I want it for a sun shade and to keep chickens from thinking of flying over and out of the designated play area in the garden, and to keep hawks from seeing fresh food running around inside the pen within easy reach. If there isn't any support across the center it sometimes falls in after a few hours. This is a 4 by 4 foot sheet.
Hope this helps.
