As you can see it used to have some plastic covering. The frame is held together with (sorta brittle) plastic pins but my main focus is how I'd re-cover the frame in plastic:

  • What sort of adhesives should I consider for outdoor metal-plastic bonding?

  • Is adhesive and soft (clear) plastic even a good idea?

  • Have any of you done something similar?

Yeah that's also a good idea. I wasnt sure if there were standard sizes that people fit these things to which made me think bespoke!

Finding an exact fit might be difficult, but if you find something that's only a little bit too big/wrong shaped you can use binder clips to secure the excess and keep it tight.
