Hey Martin:
I tried using the shrink wrap on a temporary hoop structure. There were
difficulties in making seals on the frames and getting the shrink wrap
to seal to itself in unsupported areas. Wind was a major factor.
Consider trying this in a protected area with only light winds.
Marcie is right in that clean up may be a mess with fragments of shrink
wrap falling apart on you as attempt to pick it up. So do repairs and
clean up long before UV deterioration begins.
Keep me/us posted on this, will you?
