plastic canvas
I think this might possibly be plastic canvas and that 'cambe' is some kind of spanglish.

"Plastic canvas" is just right as suggested by Lisa.
The correct term in Spanish would be "malla canvas". The somewhat distorted term "malla camba" probably derives from how the word is pronounced, plus the dropping of the final "s". In some dialects of Spanish (Mexican at least), the consonant combinations "nv" and "mb" are pronounced the same /mb/.
