Les,

Thanks for the suggestion. I was thinking about using some material over a 
very simple structure that would consist of say three poles with the edges 
of the material held down by stones or pegs. Gauze probably comes in 
different grades but may let in too much direct light. The suggestions from 
Pete to use some nylon type fabric may be the way forwards. It does need to 
be heavy enough not to flap around though....

Will pop into a fabric warehouse locally over the weekend if I can get away 
from the f32 workload!

Cheers,
