FAQs

What is the primary use for this polythene sheeting?

It is highly versatile, suitable for garden protection (wind, rain, insulation), soil warming, seed propagation, and construction applications like dust sheets or temporary covers.

How is the sheeting packaged?

Sizes up to 7m long are sent folded. All sizes larger than 7m are sent as rolls.

Is this sheeting suitable for long-term outdoor use?

It is durable for many uses but prolonged, direct UV exposure without protection can degrade the material over time. It is best suited for seasonal or temporary applications.

Can I use this to cover a pond?

While it can cover a pond, it's not specifically designed as a pond liner. For long-term pond use, a dedicated pond liner material is recommended.

How do I cut the sheeting?

You can cut the polythene sheeting using sharp scissors or a utility knife.

Will this protect my plants from frost?

Yes, it provides a degree of insulation and protection against light frost when used as a cover or within a cloche/greenhouse structure.

What does '62.5MU' mean?

'MU' stands for 'micron', a unit of thickness. 62.5MU indicates the thickness of the polythene film, signifying its heavy-duty nature.

Troubleshooting

Sheeting tears easily

Ensure you are not applying excessive tension. Reinforce corners or edges with tape if using for overhead cover. Avoid contact with sharp objects.

Water pooling on the surface

Ensure the sheeting is laid with a slight slope to allow water runoff. Secure the edges properly to prevent ponding.

Difficulty keeping sheeting in place in wind

Use heavier weights, secure edges with stakes, or bury the edges in the soil. Consider using clamps or ties for a more secure fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile for numerous garden and construction tasks.
  • Provides effective protection against weather elements.
  • Durable and long-lasting due to heavy-duty polythene.
  • Aids in soil warming and seed germination.
  • Cost-effective solution for protection and insulation needs.

Cons

  • Larger sizes are shipped rolled, requiring more storage space.
  • Can be susceptible to UV degradation over prolonged direct sun exposure without protection.
  • May require securing methods (e.g., stakes, weights) to prevent movement in windy conditions.
  • Not intended for permanent outdoor structures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Unroll or unfold the sheeting as needed. For garden use, it can be secured using garden stakes, weights, or by burying the edges. For cloches or greenhouse covers, ensure a snug fit. In construction, use tape or staples to attach it to frames or surfaces.

Compatibility:

Compatible with most standard gardening tools and construction materials. Ensure any sharp edges it comes into contact with are smoothed or covered to prevent punctures.

Care:

Clean with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals. Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prolong its lifespan. For agricultural or construction use, inspect regularly for tears or damage.
