Needed some help here.

I plan on building a greenhouse outdoors in a few months. It will be made of PVC pipe that will be a half dome shape about 8 feet tall.
I want to know what is the best plastic film to use so that from the outside you cannot see whats inside but will let in good light for my plants?
Also something that will be sturdy enough to handle the hot weather and really windy days. I live in Central CA.

Any ideas on other things I can use to make this work will be very appreciated. Thanks.

I don't build greenhouses, but just seeing them in use around the neighborhood even clear plastic greenhouses are difficult to see through. I think, but again I'm no greenhouse expert, any plastic made specifically for greenhouses should be fine.

Good thing about greenhouses.......you can use different color plastics to see growth rates/differences. Get the clearest you can find then line the interior with more opaque colors and you'll know exactly what your ladies prefer.
