Heavy Duty Plastic Sheeting 2x10m, 6 mil 📦
Description:
This heavy-duty polythene sheet offers a large 2 x 10 metre coverage for greenhouse polytunnel plant covers, bringing straightforward protection and light transmission to outdoor growing spaces. It is practical for gardeners who need an easy-to-cut, waterproof barrier that helps extend the season and shield plants from wind and dust.
Key Points
This clear polythene film is made from high-quality material with a thickness designed to balance durability and light diffusion. It allows uniform light to pass through, which helps seed germination and steady plant growth, while keeping rain and debris out. 🌱
The sheet is described by the manufacturer as UV resistant and tear resistant, so it can stand up to variable weather conditions and prolonged exposure to sunlight. Its size can be trimmed on site for custom installations in tunnels, small greenhouses, pond linings and temporary site covers. 🛠️
Consider that a 6 mil film is a mid-weight option. It provides good protection for seasonal use and many practical tasks, but may not be the thickest option for permanent or heavy-duty industrial applications according to the manufacturer. Also note that clear plastic can show condensation, which may require ventilation planning for humidity control.

Usage Recommendations
For greenhouse and polytunnel use, unroll the sheet and secure it with battens or clips to prevent flapping in strong winds. Trim carefully with a sharp knife to achieve neat edges and overlap joins where necessary, sealing them with suitable tape for improved weather tightness. When using for pond lining, lay a protective geotextile beneath the film to reduce puncture risk from stones or roots. 🌿
If using the sheet as a temporary construction cover or dust protection, attach it with tarpaulin straps or heavy-duty clips and avoid direct contact with sharp objects. Regular inspection for small tears will help maintain performance, and any repaired areas should be overlapped and taped to preserve waterproofing.
