big transparent awning   
Poured my floor slab now - used mixamate, 2 of their fellas with
barras and me tamping.
Anyway, since I have to starting building walls and things despite the
ludicrous british weather, anyone got ideas for a large *transparent*
roof or awning that will let light in and allow me to work away.
Highest point is about 4 metres, but I would probably raise the roof
in stages up to that height. Roof would slope to shed rain. Must be
cheap (e.g. 50 quid !).

Sorry, would have to be at least 5 metres square.

I don't think they would do it for £50, but a local scaffolding firm
(see Yellow Pages or go to www.yell.com) should be able to help.

Try searching on eBay for 'transparent tarpaulin'. They are thick clear
polythene sheets sold for market stalls etc. You can work out the mfr. and
contact them directly for larger sizes.
