Greenhouse Plastics: A Comprehensive Guide to Optimal Growing Conditions

Greenhouse plastic and panels are used to cover greenhouses, hoop houses, cold frames, and other protected growing structures. Covering materials differ in thickness, light transmission, expected service life, rigidity, and installation requirements, so select the material for the structure and local conditions.

Planning a covering project

  • Measure the complete structure and allow sufficient material for fastening and end walls.
  • Confirm whether the product is sold by the foot, as a precut sheet, or as a rigid panel.
  • Check compatibility with the frame, fastening system, and any manufacturer warranty requirements.
  • Plan ventilation and seasonal shading to manage heat buildup.
