The Pegdev 500 Gauge Opaque Recycled Polythene Sheeting is an ideal solution for construction professionals and avid gardeners who require a robust, weather-resistant barrier for their projects. It provides exceptional protection through its high-strength construction and UV resistance, making it perfect for damp-proofing, greenhouse builds, or material shielding. A key caveat to keep in mind is that the delivery format varies based on length: sheets measuring up to 7m are delivered folded, whereas longer sizes are shipped as convenient rolls.

No, this is an opaque product designed to conceal surfaces.
Yes, it is suitable for greenhouse construction, though note that it will block light transmission due to the opaque finish.
Sizes up to 7m long are folded, while all other sizes are delivered as rolls.
Yes, its 500-gauge thickness makes it an effective barrier against moisture and dampness in structural applications.
The material is UV resistant, meaning it is designed to endure extended outdoor exposure without degrading quickly.
Unfold the material completely in a warm area for several hours, which allows the polythene to flatten naturally.
Use wooden battens or washers when securing to distribute the pressure, preventing the screw or nail from ripping the plastic.
To install the sheeting, ensure the underlying surface is clear of sharp debris that might puncture the plastic. For damp-proofing applications, overlap sections by at least 150mm and seal the seams with high-quality duct tape or specialized jointing tape to ensure a continuous barrier.
For storage, keep the sheets away from extreme heat sources. If you receive a folded product, unfold it completely before installation to allow the plastic to 'relax' and flatten out. For long-term longevity, secure the edges with sandbags, weights, or timber battens rather than relying solely on thin adhesives.
