Re: Second layer
It is not clear to me what application you are using this for. It sounds like an outside layer of something that you would want to see through, so the suggestions here of lexan are good. We use 1/8" for side panels all the time. It will bend a lot in impact but rarely breaks, and when it does break it doesn't shatter.
If you don't need to see through it, corrugated plastic is a nice alternative as well. We often use 1/2" corrugated and it is light, sturdy stuff. We had a slide made of it last year that stuck out about 13 inches past its attachment on the frame members. You could whack that extension with a hammer and not do any significant damage.
