What I'm calling "lumber wrap" is the stuff that comes on the big packets of lumber as they come the the lumber store. It's like a plastic tarp, but really thin and cheap (as it's intended to be temporary). I think most of the lumber stores will probably give it to you. House wrap is a different thing, but would probably work as well. I was just looking for something cheap to play around with and get the shape correct.
