Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this product include the support hoops?

No, the product consists only of the horticultural polythene sheet. Hoops and frames must be sourced separately.

Can I use this for a permanent greenhouse cover?

This 150-gauge sheet is designed for temporary crop protection, tunnels, or cloches rather than heavy-duty, long-term greenhouse glazing.

How do I clean the polythene?

Use a soft cloth with mild soapy water if needed. Always ensure it is completely dry before storing it away.

Will this protect against hard, deep frosts?

It is designed for light frost protection. For extreme cold, additional frost fleece or insulation may be required.

Is the material UV treated?

The material is designed for horticultural use, but for maximum longevity, store it out of direct, intense sunlight when not in use.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty separating the sheet layers.

Rub the edge of the polythene firmly between your thumb and forefinger to break the static seal until the layers pull apart.

The sheet is flapping excessively in the wind.

Ensure the edges are buried or weighed down securely with landscape staples, bricks, or stones along the entire perimeter.

Condensation building up inside the tunnel.

Ensure proper ventilation by slightly lifting the sides of the polythene on warmer, sunny days to allow airflow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When you receive the polythene, you will notice it comes tightly folded. To separate the layers, locate the edge and rub it firmly between your fingers to find the opening. Avoid using sharp tools that could tear the material. For long-term use, ensure you clean the sheet of any debris and allow it to dry completely before folding or rolling it for storage. Storing it in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight will prevent the plastic from becoming brittle over time. This sheet is compatible with most standard wire or bamboo hoop systems.
