Tracy, I decided to go with higher quality stuff for my first try. Supposed to be waterproof, sunlight resistant, tear resistant. Designed to keep hay cool, silver color.
I have no idea if it will work out, but will keep you in the loop. Probably will need to put some Styrofoam under it in spots so it doesn't collect rainwater or get waterlogged.
Mike, thanks for the encouraging words. I'll try to post some pics when it arrives & is deployed. I'd worry about cutting off interaction between water & air if it were too large, but doubt this will be an issue given relatively small size.
