FAQs

What is the gauge/thickness of this plastic sheeting?

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

How will my order be shipped?

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

Can this sheeting be used as a permanent roof covering?

This sheeting is intended for temporary repairs or protective covering, not as a permanent roofing solution.

Is this plastic sheeting UV resistant?

While it offers protection, prolonged direct exposure to intense UV rays can degrade the material over time. It is best used in applications where such exposure is minimized or for temporary uses.

Can I use this for pond lining?

This sheeting is not specifically designed or tested for pond lining and may not be suitable due to potential leaching or durability issues in a submerged, long-term application.

What is the best way to secure the sheeting on the ground?

You can use garden stakes, U-pins, heavy stones, bricks, or sandbags to securely hold the sheeting in place, especially in windy conditions.

Where is this product manufactured?

This polythene plastic sheeting is manufactured in the UK.

Troubleshooting

Sheeting arrived folded and creased.

Carefully unfold the sheeting and lay it flat in a warm area for a few hours to allow creases to naturally relax. Alternatively, gently iron on a low setting with a protective cloth between the iron and the sheeting.

Wind keeps lifting the sheeting.

Ensure the edges are adequately weighed down with heavy objects like bricks or stones, or secured with garden stakes or U-pins. For larger areas, consider anchoring the perimeter more thoroughly.

Sheeting appears to be degrading prematurely in sunlight.

While durable, prolonged and intense UV exposure can reduce lifespan. Ensure the sheeting is not exposed to direct sunlight unnecessarily when not in use, and consider using it for applications where it is less exposed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: For sizes up to 3m, gently unfold the sheeting. For larger rolls, simply unroll to the desired length. Secure the sheeting using weights, stakes, or tape as appropriate for the application. Ensure edges are well-covered or secured to prevent wind ingress.

Compatibility: This sheeting is compatible with most common gardening and building tools and materials. It can be used in conjunction with stakes, stones, gravel, tape, and staples. It is suitable for use with soil, sand, gravel, and various construction substrates.

Care: Clean the sheeting with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the material. Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use to prolong its lifespan. Inspect regularly for any signs of wear or damage.
