In the UK...go to a market traders supplies company.They will supply clear tarpaulins that market traders use to protect their stock when caught out by a sudden shower.
Some are ready made, others can be made to size.They are not particularly cheap but will not tear in a gale and will last for years.The edges are reinforced with eyelets and can be held firmly in place with bungee ropes.

I've used them on both my stalls and aviary.
