Polyethylene roll sheeting is your #1 cheapest thing.
You'd have to find a brand of ripstop nylon that specified that it was UV-resistant, because most nylon isn't. Nylon grommets and other types of outdoor plastic fasteners will yellow and become brittle in UV unless they've been UV-stabilized. Nylon ripstop fabric as purchased at Jo-Ann Fabrics ($7.99 a yard) is meant for garden banners, small homemade pup tents, and children's backpacks, not for row covers that will be out in the sun 24/7/365.
It is also opaque to light.
A 100 foot roll of clear 4 ml plastic sheeting is $29.

Why aren't you using Reemay or similar? It's the reusable, breathable, light-transmitting row cover you're looking for.

Harvest now. Try again for next year. I think it is the heavy dew that sits on them all night till the sun hits them. the dew just gets down into the buds night after night and causes the rot. I think in the fall it is best to cover with an agricultural fabric like remay.
