Product Information
Full details
This heavy-duty polythene plastic sheeting from Pegdev is designed for a wide range of garden and building applications. Its key benefit is providing durable protection and insulation. A potential caveat is that sizes over 7m are shipped as rolls, while smaller sizes are folded, which might affect immediate deployment for some users. This versatile sheeting can protect plants, insulate greenhouses, warm soil for propagation, and serve as a dust or rubble sheet in construction.

FAQs
What is the thickness of this sheeting?
The sheeting is rated at 500G (gauge), indicating a substantial thickness suitable for heavy-duty applications.
How is the sheeting shipped?
Sizes up to 7 meters in length are shipped folded. All sizes larger than 7 meters are shipped as rolls.
Can this sheeting be used for pond liners?
While durable, it is not specifically designed or rated as a pond liner. For permanent water containment, a dedicated pond liner material is recommended.
Is the black color suitable for sunlight exposure?
The black color provides UV resistance, making it suitable for outdoor use. However, prolonged extreme UV exposure can eventually degrade any plastic material.
What are the dimensions of this specific product?
This specific product is 10 meters long and 4 meters wide.
Can I use this with heat sources, like in a greenhouse?
Yes, it is suitable for insulation in greenhouses. However, it should not be placed in direct contact with high-heat sources or open flames.
Troubleshooting
Sheeting tears easily
Ensure you are not over-stretching the material. Use appropriate securing methods and avoid sharp objects in the immediate vicinity. Check if the grade of sheeting is suitable for the intended application.
Creases from folding persist
Lay the sheeting out in a warm, sunny area for a few hours. The warmth should help the creases relax. For larger areas, gentle stretching while securing can also help.
Material is not staying in place
Ensure adequate securing points are used. Utilize heavier weights or more stakes. Consider the wind direction and force for outdoor applications.
Difficulty cutting the sheeting cleanly
Use a sharp utility knife or heavy-duty scissors. For best results, lay the sheeting flat on a protective cutting surface.
