Polycarbonate (e.g. Lexan) - perspex is too brittle. Lexan is available in clear or various tints. Mine was from Mac#1 and is (I think) 5mm thick. If
you don't want to buy a ready-made one you should be able to get some Lexan or similar from a local glazing shop.

We use 5mm acrylic in smoke tint. They use it for aircrft windows and it's not expensive, regards Stig Mills
