that sounds similar to what we call frost-cloth - this stuff: https://www.amazon.com/Agworth-Protection-Floating-Outdoor-10x12ft/dp/B094F6YYPD/ref=asc_df_B094F6YYPD/ it does tear. i guess i haven't had it freeze hard on me; we don't usually try for four-season gardening with it, just a bit of extra protection in the spring, or bundling around tomatoes in the fall if we're going to get a light freeze & then go back to warm weather.
i have heard that taking whole or partial CDs and stringing them up so they flash in the sun can help deter birds; idk if it's true. that might have also been against pigeons.
we cut the holes into the trash can with a sawzall. handy thing, that. we have a cheap battery-powered one we got a yardsale that has held up remarkably well. then stuffed the elbows in, and caulked around the seam to hold it in, since pushing them through stretched it a bit. i'll have to take a closer look at it but i'd estimate the holes are at 8", 11", 14" off the ground.
