The aircraft fabric is not as cheap as, say polyethylene film and tape, but it is strong and lasts forever. I've seen twenty year old Dacron aircraft fabric that was still in excellent condition, but the structure underneath needed to be rebuilt. The fabric is strong enough that a person can stand on it if the support structure is strong enough. It can also be finished to a smooth gloss.
