Greenhouse plastic.

[Rec0n]

whats the best plastic to use for a greenhouse now? we had a greenhouse years ago but the plastic only lasted like a year maybe 2 and then it would tear so bad and you would have to redo it. i know that the commercial greenhouses stay up for years at a time so what plastic do they use?

You need to contact a horticultural specialist, and buy proper tunnel covers. These are guaranteed, and will last a very long time. If you lived here in the UK, I could have pointed you in the right direction.

I'm sure you can find something closer to home, but still @Tetters has given you the idea about the product he recommends. As for me, i know nothing about greenhouses other than i live in one. I am sure other people will chime in with their recommendations as well

Yea we have a pic frame setup and usually just use the regular rolls of plastic. So I'm kind of trying to find the same type of stuff just a better quality

There is a forum "Greenhouse Gardening" and if you post at that forum you might get more responses and ideas. Just scroll down the forum topics until you come to "Greenhouse Gardening". Select this forum and you will see some of the current and recent threads. If you don't find what you are looking for, create your own. The General Gardening Talk forum has a lot of traffic. "Greenhouse Gardening" is where you want to be with this one. This is an international site and i think there are members sleeping now, so let everyone get their sleep and you should see some results after a bit.

When you get your tunnel polythene, make sure you apply it to the house on a warm sunny day - it needs to go on nice and tight, or else it will flop in colder weather, and rip if it gets windy.
