    I recently built a shelter with the corrugated plastic sheeting... Managed to get 12ft by just over 2ft (it works out 2ft with the overlap this way) for €17.00 a sheet.

    I needed 6ft sheets but cutting the 12's in half saved me a bit of cash.

    Tool of choice for cutting these was a 4 and a 1/2 inch angle grinder with a thin metal cutting disc. Use the end of a sheet to mark them and you can cut through a few at once.

    Then screw on the peak not on the valley with tek screws.

    Hope some of this helps,
    Steven.
