Question:

Do UV rays penetrate a plastic sheet?

I had to put a plastic sheet over my garden because it has been raining non-stop. If I leave it up when the sun is out, will the UV rays be able to pass thru it?

Answer:

If it is clear plastic, remove it. This could magnify the suns rays and burn your plants. If it is colored plastic, I doubt the rays will go through it.
