My entire greenhouse in Denver got hit by a freak hailstorm on Tuesday

Lost over 60 seedlings, including my entire batch of heirloom Cherokee Purple tomatoes. The plastic roof was shredded. It felt like watching months of work just get pounded into the dirt in five minutes. Anyone else in the Rockies have a good plan for hail netting that actually works?

Honestly, that netting is a huge pain to put up and it still lets some smaller hail through.

My greenhouse in Boulder survived last year with double-layer hail netting from FarmTek.

Oh jeez that's brutal, sorry about your Cherokee Purples. I read somewhere that some people out in Colorado are using a double layer of shade cloth as a budget hail fix, not the real netting but it's way cheaper and apparently stops the smaller stuff decently.
