Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this include the support hoops?

No, the hoops or frames are not included with this product.

Can I use this for overwintering tender plants?

It provides protection against light frost, but it is not sufficient for severe winter temperatures.

Is the material UV treated?

The polythene is designed for horticultural use, though we recommend storing it away from direct sunlight when not in active use to maximize its lifespan.

How do I secure the sheet to the ground?

You can use standard ground pegs, garden clips, or place stones and bricks along the edges.

Can this be cut to size?

Yes, you can easily trim the polythene to your desired length using sharp household scissors.

Troubleshooting

Condensation build-up inside the tunnel

Ensure adequate ventilation by slightly lifting the edges of the sheet during sunny days to allow airflow.

Sheet blowing away in high wind

Use more heavy-duty ground pegs or place heavier rocks at closer intervals along the base to secure the edges.

Punctures or small tears in the plastic

Use clear, weather-resistant agricultural repair tape to patch small holes and prevent them from expanding.

Pros and Cons

Excellent light transmission for healthy plant growth
Provides a reliable barrier against common pests and birds
Durable 150-gauge construction resists tearing in wind

Cons

Support hoops or frame structures are not included

Not intended for heavy frost or extreme winter conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up your polythene cover is straightforward. Ensure your frame structure is securely anchored into the soil to prevent the wind from displacing the sheet. When draping the material, ensure it is pulled taut but not stretched to the point of tearing; use garden clips or heavy stones to secure the edges to the ground to create an effective seal.

Compatibility is universal as the sheet can be cut to fit any custom frame shape or size. For care and maintenance, avoid using sharp tools near the plastic. After the growing season, brush off any dirt or debris, allow the material to dry completely in the shade to prevent mold, and roll it loosely before placing it in a cool, dark storage area to maintain the integrity of the plastic.
