As you can see it used to have some plastic covering. The frame is held together with (sorta brittle) plastic pins but my main focus is how I'd re-cover the frame in plastic:

  • What sort of adhesives should I consider for outdoor metal-plastic bonding?

  • Is adhesive and soft (clear) plastic even a good idea?

  • Have any of you done something similar?

There are about 40mil to 1mm, though, and I don't think they're talking about food wrap. But plastic greenhouse panes are about 5mm thick, so maybe that's what is meant here.
