[Greenbuilding] Greenhouse plastic

Hallo, all.

     I have a need, for this winter, for flexible greenhouse plastic. 
If it's tough enough, I can re-use it in later years.  This is not 
for permanent installation, since this will protect a space which is 
under construction, and the whole configuration will change next year.

     I can't get any locally, it seems.  Does anyone have any 
recommendations for sources?

     (In case you're wondering, I have the retaining wall and part of 
the roof over the house addition and greenhouse built.  I'm not going 
to be able to get the rest of the roof on before spring, and I'd like 
to have horizontal plastic at the southern edge of the roof, 
reasonably well-sealed, to provide for some solar input and winter 
use of that space.  Being able to use it for storage and, at the far 
end, the humanure pile, will greatly free up interior space in the 
current addition, and enable me to work on the inside during the 
winter.  Also, this will help keep the pressure tanks from freezing, 
because they're in a somewhat exposed position and I can't easily 
move them right now.  Eventually, I will try to glaze this area with 
salvage patio door lights, but I can't stop to frame them right now.)
