Help?

It has been said that all knowledge is found in SF fandom if you look far enough; well I don't know who's reading this but maybe the same goes for LJ. Anyway, I've got a problem in carpentry, sorta, that I apparently lack the proper keywords to dig anything out of the Internet in the way of getting it solved. Advice would be welcome.

When we bought the house, along with the regular house stuff was one back room that was actually some sort of prefab enclosure with three exterior walls (the fourth being the side of the house), windows and roof, resting directly on a concrete slab covered with carpet, and reached down what were presumably once the back yard steps (also carpeted) from a french door. This thing is constructed from an aluminum frame (still in good condition), and panels held in place by the frame such that near as I can tell it becomes necessary to disassemble the frame to change them. Therein lies the problem; on the two most exposed sides, some panels have been severely warped by sun and rain and need desperately to be replaced. But unless there's something immensely flexible in both directions available, I can't find a way to replace them myself. And when I go checking Google, none of the key words I can think of are finding me whoever it is builds and repairs this sort of thing. Not really carpentry, I don't WANT to replace the whole thing since most of it is still fine, not "internal modular walls" not... well, anyway see here for pictures of the room itself. I've had zero luck with handymen, and I don't need a home construction contractor. So what in the heck am I looking for? Anybody?
