[Greenbuilding] translucent material needed

[Sacie Lambertson]

Many thanks to all for the good suggestions.  I am researching these and
will find a solution in one I am certain.  Appreciate the responses to my
query.

Nothing to see on the other side btw, hence the suggestion the covering can
be translucent.
