Preamble |
|
Never lay your
greenhouse cover directly on wooden frame |
The following article presents photos and
comments about a tip for extending the life of
your greenhouse film or polyethylene laid to the
wooden frame of a garden greenhouse.
Firstly, I covered my greenhouse directly on
greenhouse frame. It's a mistake! I should have
installed ttje plastic sheet over a felt tape or
on a landscape fabric strips.

After several years,
the greenhouse plastic sheeting has worn out in
areas where it rubs against the wooden frame of
the greenhouse roof.
Red Tuck Tape was used to repair the greenhouse.
There is now white Tuck Tape available on the
market. It goes without saying that this is a
temporary measure before installing new
greenhouse plastic cover. |

Here you can see many
repairs on the plastic cover.
As soon as there's a small weakness or crack in
the plastic, a small gust of wind and the
plastic sheeting is no longer salvageable.
The wear is clearly localized where the
greenhouse polyethylene is in contact with the
wooden greenhouse frame. |
