This Site Might Help You. RE: Is 6 mil plastic sheeting considered to be a thick and strong plastic? I want to know if it is durable, and transmit light. I want to use it for my green house, but, it has to be a thick plastic but not light obscuring.
While 6 mil is very thick for plastic film, it can also be grainy and tear easily. Here are some examples for plastic film: Grocery bag 1mil Trash bag 1.5 to 2 mil Medical waste red bag either 2 - 2 mil or 1 - 4 mil Plastic sheeting comes in many grades and thicknesses, for best overall performance and durability I prefer 4 mil, clear Also, you might want to consider a ridged fiberglass sheet, strong enough to support heavy weights, but light and easy to handle. Sheets come in 2 ft x 6 ft or 2 ft x 8 ft, these come in clear or opaque depending on what you intend to grow the opaque might be preferable.
they make stuff specifically FOR greenhouses.. start there... they use the things they do for a reason and their tried and true.. dependable... u know? rather than experimenting.. keep in mind that most plastic melts discolors and becomes frail within no time when exposed to direct sunlight... so you'll be redoing it all in a few years.. better to do it just once out of fiberglass or something...
For the best answers, search on this site https://shorturl.im/avhMU for a few bucks more you can use ,and re- use next year 6 mil poly ,,,,,spend a little and save alot next year ....... good luck and remember the water will seek level so if your on any sort of hill / incline you better have a high enough board on the low end ~! happy skating ~!!
