Nice! I attach rope to the hardware cloth then run the rope through the grommets. Then secure them with a rope and bungee cords in the middle and at the bottom. It works and easy to put up and take down.

In my experience, 4 mil is quite thin and likely not hold up in strong winds or wind-propelled flying objects. As previously mentioned , I prefer at least 8 mil, but 10 is better. Also I like that it lasts a few a few seasons. What is your basic location?and why not winterize this year?If I do something like this, it will be next winter.
I have enough poly and vinyl to do the job.
I know the marine vinyl is way no expensive than the 4 mil window covering vinyl the Frost King sells.
So I think I might go full industrial.
Making wood frames in which to mount the vinyl, making tracks on the outside of the run that these frames can set, and then being able to pop them in and out as I need.
I would only have them up during the winter months. And pop a few out if the weather was going to turn warm.
How thick should the Marine vinyl be? It's measured in Mils on most sites.
I want to to last and yet be see through. It was mentioned about the freezer door fringe and that stuff is NOT see through.
The stuff I have it listed as 4 mil and seems rather thin.
But I know on several other threads, $10 a yard for the good stuff is a good deal. But I am not sure what GAUGE the preferred thickness should be.
sure, they're a little pricier up front, but you'll still be using the same ones 5+ years from now. that cost amortized over several years is probably the same, if not cheaper, than using shower curtains.They are really good but my run wiuld cost several hundred dollars to cover with them. Perhaps if I win the lotto! Lol!
I will run a cost differential on that for sure.spring for the polycarbonate panels. you can fasten them directly to the wood framing of your run and they will last you several winters.
I am winterizing. I was going to just use poly, 4 mil.In my experience, 4 mil is quite thin and likely not hold up in strong winds or wind-propelled flying objects.
