All of our greenhouse plastics are commercial-grade and are designed for use in both residential & commercial greenhouse installations. Our greenhouse plastics are designed for years of continuous use in the designated application.

How Are Our Plastics Different?

We only offer commercial-grade greenhouse plastic which is designed specificly for greenhouse installations. Our plastics conform to high quality control standards and are manufactured in the United States not overseas like most of the greenhouse plastics sold online.

Why Purchase a High Quality Greenhouse Plastic?

When building your greenhouse most of the cost of construction is typically put toward labor. Because the plastic acts as the roof of the greenhouse it is very important to not cut corners and choose a plastic that is designed for years of continual use and has been ASTM tested to ensure that the plastic's physical properties are indeed what the seller is claiming. Many "four year plastics" are not engineered to survive four years in real world conditions. Additionally, in a commercial growing application the cost of the plastic is quickly dwarfed by the value of the plants inside. Again, another reason to invest in a high quality plastic.

The Ultimate Guide to Greenhouse Plastic Film: A Durable Solution for Year-Round Growing

In the world of horticulture, the right greenhouse covering can make all the difference in the health and productivity of your plants. Whether you’re a commercial grower or an enthusiastic home gardener, choosing a high-quality, durable material for your greenhouse is essential. One such solution is Greenhouse Plastic Film, a reinforced polyethylene film designed to provide exceptional durability, light transmission, and UV protection.

What is Greenhouse Plastic Film?

Greenhouse Plastic Film is a specialized covering material designed for use in greenhouse structures. Made from reinforced 10 mil polyethylene, this film features a unique construction that combines two layers of durable polyethylene with a molten polyethylene core, ensuring maximum strength and flexibility. The addition of polyester string reinforcement further enhances its tear resistance, making it a robust choice for environments prone to harsh weather conditions.

Key Features of Greenhouse Plastic Film

1. Superior Durability and Tear Resistance
One of the standout features of Greenhouse Plastic Film is its exceptional durability. The reinforced structure, combined with the polyester string reinforcement, provides a strong barrier against tears and punctures. This makes it ideal for areas that experience high winds, hail, or other challenging weather conditions. The 10 mil thickness ensures that the film can withstand rough handling and external impacts, significantly extending its lifespan compared to traditional polyethylene films.

4. Moisture and Thermal Regulation
Greenhouse environments require careful regulation of temperature and humidity to optimize plant health. The polyethylene layers of the film provide excellent moisture control, reducing the risk of condensation that can lead to mold and mildew. Additionally, the insulating properties of the film help maintain stable internal temperatures, protecting plants from extreme fluctuations that could stunt growth or cause damage.

Why Choose Greenhouse Plastic Film?

Choosing the right covering material for your greenhouse involves considering factors like climate, plant type, and budget. Greenhouse Plastic Film stands out as a versatile and cost-effective option for several reasons:

• Durability in Extreme Conditions:
Its reinforced design makes it capable of withstanding strong winds, heavy rain, and even snow, providing reliable protection for your plants year-round.
• Long Lifespan: With a lifespan of up to four years, this film reduces the need for frequent replacements, making it a smart investment for long-term greenhouse management.
• Enhanced Growth Environment: The combination of high light transmission, UV protection, and thermal regulation creates an optimal growing environment, enhancing the health and productivity of your plants.

4. Secure the Film Tightly: Use greenhouse clips, batten tape, or wiggle wire to secure the film tightly to the frame. Start by anchoring the film along one long side of the greenhouse, then stretch it over the top and secure the opposite side. Finish by securing the short sides.
5. Check for Tension: Ensure the film is taut and evenly stretched across the frame. Proper tension prevents sagging and reduces the risk of damage from wind or debris.
