I just covered my back porch with a product from Palram called Palruf

They also have a greenhouse specific product that is like a honeycomb and is much stronger and stiffer than the corrugated panels and reduces condensate dripping

Regarding the plastic film over the framework, if the plastic isn't specially UV coated, it will start to disintegrate within a season and you'll have to recover it each year. I use black plastic as mulch on my garden each year, and I always need to replace it in Spring due to crumbling. I'm not sure if the coating blocks the UV, just makes the plastic last longer.
