Need to build a shed somewhere where I don't want to ruin the view. So considering making it of acrylic panels 2mm. Can I just put up a frame and screw on the acrylic panels as walls? 8x4.

Makes no sense , unless you plan not to put anything in your see thru shed?
 
Thanks. Don't want to ruin the garden view of a window it's near. And now that you mentioned it, there is stuff inside to display too.

My question is really about stability. Can I have a frame (of 2x4s? Or less) and screw in 4ftx4ft 2mm acrylic panels as walls? Thinner panels Pent roof of same material? 8x4 shed dimension.

More generally, can I screw in most plastic materials (suggestions welcome) as walls on a wood frame?

Fan based forced ventilation will be in operation, if it helps.

in general
i would not screw polycarbonate you need a slotted system to contain and cover the edge and provide a waterproof edge as in not a structural component other than with correct edging will fill a space
