Since I'll need some light in the tent, I've decided to make the top pentagon of the dome cover from clear plastic. I bought a length of heavy, clear vinyl material also used in boat covers, which should not degrade or become opaque when exposed to the sun.
Unfortunately, the roll of plastic was not wide enough to make the entire skylight out of a single piece. Instead I've used two pieces, glued together with special soft-PVC glue, so the seams are still flexible. I took care to site the seams at the highest point of the cover, so as to make sure that no water can collect in them.
