He is right, marine vinyl is at the fabric store and with a heat gun it can be made to stretch nicely. Monel staples are at Home Depot.

Heat the plastic a little before shooting staples, they go in easier.

The plastic is not UV stable and turns to crap rather quickly when exposed to direct sunlight.:Eyecrazy:
