Would this work?

NO, because each skin is very thin - it's the over all thickness they quote. You need solid polycarbonate

Ok, thanks. Im getting prices of around £120 per 1m^2 5mm Polycarbonate. Does this sound right?

Any thoughts on table options?

I'm thinking of making up some wooden H frames and then panelling each one with poly. I plan to use roofing batton, its totally cheap and the stuff at my local wood yard is really good quality, the yard is now huwsgrey.co.uk.

The sizes are 19x38 and 25x50, both would work great for all sorts and the plan was to rout a dado that the panel would fit into, more or less how you would make basic panel and frame doors.

Dont think ruff grubby old batton, that is up on your roof, think 2x1 treated timber that cleans up really well with a little sanding. A 4m length costs something like £2.50.

I've always used Trent Plastics with good results. They cut to size and will do bends if needed - here is a 1 m square of 5 mm clear poly-carbonate:
