So I'm wanting to make a bunch of smaller artificial structures like what fishiding has. What material would be best to use? I really don't want to buy any more hose. I have access to a bunch of old plastic banding (what they use to hold bundles of lumber together). But with the banding it's pretty small and takes lots of it to get good cover and it doesn't provide any shade since it is a greenish clear color. What's the thoughts?

Thanks!
