Years ago, I carried some equipment to Marble Falls, Texas, to test at
Professional Testing, Inc's OATS there. I remember one of the sites having
a taut cloth weather shield stretched over a number of bent PVC formers. I
don't know how long those PVC ribs lasted in the Texas sun,  but I DO
remember that on an unshaded OATS there, one of my EUT laptops  warped
badly!

The PVC was apparently good enough for the job.

Thanks to everyone who responded. Several of you suggested using PVC pipe.
We have tried using schedule 40 PVC pipe (the stuff you find at Home Depot)
for other outside structural uses and have found that the material creeps
badly in the Florida heat. The result is sagging horizontal supports. Has
anyone successfully built an 8-10 foot wide durable outside structure using
PVC pipe? If so, what type of PVC pipe was it?
