Lightweight weather proof materials for building?

I am doing a school project where I have to submit a design for a bus shelterThe shelter needs to be cheap to transport in flat pack form and I have to specify the materialsI am looking for ideas for a type of material that would be light weight for transport as well as sturdy and long lasting, I would appreciate links to where this material could be purchased so that I can reference themThanks for your help.

Answer:

First use aluminum tubingThen add a fiberglass type roofing materialMake it sectional with stainless pins with holes for cotter pins so it can be assembled and taking back apartTry to break it down into 4X8 sections, as this is a standard for almost every pick up truck Imagine a nail with a hole in the bottom that allows a hair pin like devise to enter it creating a locking point to stop the pin from coming out.
