Greenhouse question?

Question

Where can I find ultra-violet-resistant polythene covering, and how much does it cost.

thanks.

I forgot to mention that I need the clear type. It's for the outer covering of the greenhouse.

Answer 1

Check with Parks Seed Company or Greenhouse Supply Company. UV stabilized covers are expensive now due to high oil prices. I just recovered a 300 foot long house, 60 feet wide- the plastic cost $1,200 for enough to put on two layers. You can buy cheaper 4 mil plastic at farm supply stores, but itis not UV stabilized and will only last one season.

Answer 2

All black polyethylene is ultra violet resistive, since it contains as its colorant traces of a finely ground powdered carbon of which a single teaspoon would blacken a gymnasium floor.

I see you added the clear type requirement and aas a covering, not a UV filter. You can get clear UV resisitant poly from a Greeenhouse supply house. The cost for that material in 20 feet wide x 30 mill is about 20 cents a square foot. Im pretty sure that comes in 100 foot roll on a tube. I dont believe this is sold on line as its quite a hard product to handle and you need to have that delivered and boomed off the truck. onto a stand.

Answer 3

Depends what you are looking for. If you want the single layer poly film, you can get that here http://www.greenhouses-etc.net/glazing/polyfilm.htm. It costs between 7 and 11 cents per sq ft. If you want something more permanent and insulated you can find twin wall polyethylene greenhouse covering here http://www.greenhousecatalog.com/35mm-wide-foot-p-92.html. This will run you about $1 per sq ft.
