No one responded to this question so I'll try again:

Dear List,

We are building a hoophouse from salvaged materials and we want to put roll
up sides on it. One of our salvage projects was a greenhouse-type enclosure
for a pool that had collapsed due to ice load. It had roll up curtains made
from a woven semi-transparent white material.

My question is: Should we use the old curtains for the roll-up sides on our
hoophouse or can we use greenhouse plastic? Does greenhouse plastic stand up
to the stress of being rolled up and down? The curtains for our new
hoophouse would be about 3ft high by 48ft long on a hoophouse 12x48ft.

Thanks,
Amy K. Johnson
