lexan/fiberglass. fiberglass will crack, and ive heard is sticky, so idk.

can you get pvc sheeting? idk but if so that would be prime.

lexan/fiberglass will work then, use liquid nails and some screws to get it down, but dont over tighten or shit will crack.

youll probably have to get it a little wet to make it slide well.

the other thing ive seen people do is a BUNCH of small pvc pipes next to each other, like a double barrel rail, only more. depending on how wide the picnic table is/how big of pvc pipes you use, this could work too.

i couldn't tell ya the price difference, but now that i think about it, it might just be around the same price to go either way.

for the benches you could just take a pvc pipe and cut in half (the long way, so you have two semi circles) and put fasten them around the edges of bench so you have a coping type deal. PVC is super cheap and ease to replace if it cracks.

For the picnik tables, once it snows you probably don't even need anything. Just wax them down a bit and you should be good. Worked in Wild Stallions.

lexan costs about $6 per square foot. Lexan is stronger than regular plexi, which isn't very strong
