Question:

Anyone know what those large plastic sheets/strips are called (seen in meat department)?

I'm looking to buy some heavy duty clear plastic sheets/strips that you typically see in the grocery store that separate the cold rooms from the colder rooms. I'm looking to get some so I can hang them from my gazebo to protect the innards from the elements. No need to comment on how ugly it will look... I'm going for function not fashion. The only thing I can find are really thin but large plastic tarps, which look like they would fly away in a light breeze.

Answer:

Not sure of trade name Heavy plastic flaps that hang from door openings to allow people machines to enter /exit without having a fixed door....right? Try Grainger's or Mc Master's online ..........might as well look under enviornmental barriers as mentioned. Best regards
Look for that in the paint dept. of you local DIY store (Home Depot, Lowes, etc.). You can choose the thickness you prefer, which is referred to as Mils...the higher the number, the thicker the plastic. You will probably want at least a 2mil, I would suggest 5mil if it is to last thru the hot summer sun...and it comes in assorted lenghts with approximately a 6ft. width. As for your project being unsightly, it doesn't have to be that either. I attacked a similar project myself and it came out superbly! I used inexpensive lx2x6's to make a frame and attached plastic to the boards with a staple gun (be sure to double the plastic over where you staple it-like a hem) then attached those to the existing 4x4 posts on my open patio. Came out looking like a professional greenhouse, and was easy to take down when it became too hot in the summer. GL!
