FAQs

What is the thickness of this plastic sheeting?

The sheeting is 250 gauge, which is equivalent to 62.5MU (microns).

How will my order be shipped if it's a smaller size?

Sizes up to 3 meters in length will be sent folded. Larger sizes are sent as rolls.

Can this be used as a permanent roofing material?

This sheeting is intended for temporary repairs or covering. It is not designed as a permanent roofing solution and may degrade over time with prolonged UV exposure.

Is this sheeting UV resistant?

While durable, extended exposure to direct sunlight may cause degradation over time. It is best suited for applications where UV exposure is limited or temporary.

What is the primary purpose of the black color?

The black color helps in absorbing heat, which is beneficial for warming soil and providing camouflage if used for specific outdoor applications. It also offers greater opacity for light blocking.

Can I cut this sheeting to size?

Yes, the sheeting can be easily cut with sharp scissors or a utility knife to fit your specific project needs.

Troubleshooting

Sheeting is creased upon arrival

For sizes up to 3m, the sheeting is intentionally folded for shipping. Unfold carefully and lay flat in a warm area or use a hairdryer on a low setting to help remove creases before use.

Poor insulation performance

Ensure the sheeting is installed without gaps or tears. A double layer with an air gap can significantly improve insulation. Check that it is securely fitted to prevent drafts.

Weed growth still occurring

Confirm the sheeting is laid flat and securely covering the soil surface without gaps. Ensure there are no areas where light can penetrate and encourage weed growth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This polythene sheeting requires no complex setup. For garden use, it can be laid directly on the ground or secured with pegs, stones, or other weights. When used for greenhouse insulation, it can be attached to the frame using tape, clips, or staples, ensuring a snug fit to maximize thermal efficiency. It is compatible with most standard DIY tools for cutting and shaping.

Care Instructions:

  • Clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
