Haha, it's all good; nylon is pretty tough stuff but one suggestion I have is to get nylon lycra or some other "four-way stretch" fabric, otherwise you can't cover the top and bottom too.

If you like it enough to make it permanent, you could always cover the fabric with fiberglass resin and make it a lot harder and not worry about the fabric tearing.

Hmmm, I might do the front around the corrugated plastic piece, but I like the idea that I can take it off the grill if I ever want to for some reason.

I thought about using a lot of different stuff, including vinyl and
monokote plastic wrap, but in the end the lyrca was cheap ($30 for a 4x8' sheet), easy to cut up and not permanent. Plus, I'm not very good when it comes to making aesthetically pleasing exterior stuff, so I went with something lazy
Not to mention, this stuff's lightweight, and I can always wash it if it gets to smelling.
