Yes, repurposed portable canopy cover fabric panels do work quite well.
I retrieved a 11'x11' portable canopy cover from being discarded at work, sewed on tie out tabs on the usually needed places, and it works just fine. A little puckered here and there because of the "drop down" panels around the 4 sides, but not objectionable by any means. And SO light weight for it's size. Sorry, I will have to get the weight later, and I don't have a picture of it in use. The 'metalic' coating would be a big plus, used in summer, or when allowed to fully surround to the ground in the winter. In fact, that fabric is the same as some of those 'springy' folding windshield covers, which I also made a under quilt out of, and there again, the 'metalic' coating really does reflect heat.
(Did I mention how light weight it is?)
