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.

Everything You Need to Know About Hoop House Plastic

Creating a thriving hoop house environment hinges on the quality of the materials you use. One of the most critical components is the hoop house plastic itself. This blog explores the key features of high-quality hoop house plastic and how it can enhance the growing conditions inside your structure.

What is Hoop House Plastic?

Hoop house plastic is a specialized cover designed to protect plants within a hoop house. It is made from a blend of polyethylene layers reinforced with polyester strings and a molten core. This multi-layer construction results in a robust material that stands up to the elements, providing a controlled growing environment for various crops. The 10 mil reinforced design is thicker and stronger than standard greenhouse films, making it an ideal choice for those looking for long-term solutions.

Key Features of Hoop House Plastic

1. Durable Construction
The 10 mil reinforced hoop house plastic is engineered to endure the harshest weather conditions. Its multi-layered polyethylene structure with a molten core and polyester string reinforcement offers outstanding resistance to tears and punctures. This durability means fewer repairs and replacements, saving you time and money over the lifespan of your hoop house.

4. Superior Tear and Puncture Resistance
Unlike standard greenhouse films that can easily tear under stress, the reinforced design of this hoop house plastic offers superior resistance to punctures and tears. This feature is particularly beneficial in areas prone to high winds or when covering hoop houses with complex shapes that may stress the plastic.

Why Choose Reinforced Hoop House Plastic?

When it comes to protecting your hoop house crops, not all plastics are created equal. The reinforced construction of this 10 mil plastic offers several advantages over traditional greenhouse films:

Practical Applications

1. Vegetable Production
Whether you're growing tomatoes, peppers, or leafy greens, maintaining consistent temperatures and light levels is crucial. The 10 mil hoop house plastic provides the insulation and protection needed to extend your growing season, making it possible to harvest earlier in the spring and later into the fall.
2. Flower and Ornamental Plant Cultivation
For nurseries and flower growers, the balanced light transmission helps produce uniform blooms with vibrant colors. The plastic's durability also means you can cover larger structures without worrying about tearing or puncturing during installation.
3. Overwintering Perennials
Protecting perennials from winter frost is essential for their survival. This hoop house plastic creates a stable environment that shields plants from extreme cold and wind, helping them emerge healthy and strong in the spring.

Final Thoughts

Investing in high-quality hoop house plastic is essential for any serious grower. With its reinforced construction, UV protection, and excellent light transmission, this 10 mil plastic provides a robust solution for creating an optimal growing environment. Whether you're a small-scale farmer or a commercial grower, choosing the right hoop house plastic can significantly impact the health and productivity of your crops.

By understanding the features and benefits of this specialized plastic, you can make an informed decision that supports your growing needs for years to come.
