Where do you get aluminet?

I'm looking for the reflective silver material I saw some domes made of.
There may be another name. All I can find is the mesh. Tenax appears to be the source, but the US distributor has stopped carrying it.
Any ideas?

It would be a shame if I had to resort to self-deception to preserve my faith in objective reality.

Our shade structures worked fine. For the main public space, imagine a frame like a costco carport only much larger and covered with recycled billboard vinyl. We also had a dome and a pyramid. For my personal camp space, I used a more conventional carport canopy over our popup trailer and tent. All held up fine though the winds were quite tame this year. Even Monday's wind was not as strong as the Tuesday/Wednesday winds in 04.
