Frequently Asked Questions

• How Do I Know How Much Greenhouse Plastic I Need?
  A:Width = Greenhouse Width + Greenhouse Height + 2 ft. and Length = Greenhouse Length + Greenhouse Height + Height + 2 ft.
• How do I install greenhouse plastic?
  A:Installing greenhouse plastic involves measuring the frame, securing the film with wiggle wire or clamps, and tightening it to remove slack. A proper installation ensures durability and energy efficiency. View the installation guide.
• Will my greenhouse plastic rip in a storm?
  A:Greenhouse plastic is designed to withstand tough weather, but installation quality and material thickness play major roles in storm resistance. Properly secured plastic is much less likely to rip during high winds. Learn how to protect your greenhouse.
• How much UV light does greenhouse plastic block?
  A:Most greenhouse plastics are treated to block harmful UV rays while still allowing photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) to pass through. This balance promotes plant health while extending film life. Discover more about UV protection.
• What's the difference between clear and white greenhouse plastic?
  A:Clear plastic offers maximum light transmission, ideal for most plants, while white plastic diffuses light to reduce heat and shadows, making it better for sensitive crops. Choosing the right one depends on your growing needs. Compare clear vs. white plastic.
• How do I attach plastic film to a greenhouse?
  A:Plastic film is typically secured using wiggle wire and base channel or snap clamps depending on the frame type. This ensures the film stays taut and resists wind uplift. Get step-by-step instructions.
• What are the benefits of Anti-Drip, Anti-Condensate Greenhouse Plastic?
  A:Apex film is a premium greenhouse plastic designed to minimize interior condensation and improve light diffusion for better plant growth. Its anti-drip and anti-condensate properties help maintain a clearer, drier growing environment. Read more about Apex Greenhouse Film.
