Duraskrim is very tough. The sides on that compost bin are still holding
together after 6 years. If I needed to cover a big hole where a storm
tore off a piece of roof until it could be re-roofed, that would be a
reasonable choice for a temporary cover. It is easily as tough as the
cheap vinyl tarps that a lot of roofers use, and it is lighter to haul up
and down ladders.
Duraskrim is UV-stabilized, and it comes in varying thicknesses. 6mil and
10mil are probably standard thicknesses, but they make it down to 2mil,
too, which would probably let more light through. It is the sort of product
that an "industrial supply" would probably list (although they need to sell
stuff in wholesale quantities to make a profit and may be underwhelmed
by requests for a couple of hundred feet of something).
