Anyway when did this become a flame war? Use whatever material you want, thats kinda the point. We use whatever materials we have available to us at the time, we do our best work, and if it fails we evolve our design.
Indeed and if it came from garbage bin, it is eco win

I bought 0.5mm metal sheet for 20€ (at least it is galvanized), coroplast was 30€ for square meter and they will have it only for summer.

No signs here either, plastic sheeting could be nice, but can't source such anywhere near for sane sum of money, so for me metal sheet is best bit.

Shame that plastic sheet of yours fell off, but on good point, there one learned again something new, life is never ending learning process.
