How Do I Tape Greenhouse Plastic Sheets Together

This is the part that joins the polycarbonate sheets side by side.

How do i tape greenhouse plastic sheets together.

It comes in two parts. Could i sew the pieces together or would the needle holes cause ripping. I want to connect pieces of clear heavy plastic together to make a house shaped greenhouse without using tape. I tried both ways wrapping the cattle panels with plastic and wrapping the whole shelter.

Ok a question for you chemists and techie types. However the velcro soon came adrift so i bought some plastic adhesive to glue it back on. The first time i used a 6 mil plastic but not uv rated. You place the foil tape under the u at the tops of the sheets and the vent tape under the u at the bottom of the sheets.

Thought i would post up how i joined polythene sheets together with a heat gun. I have a greenhouse that is covered in greenhouse plastic. Both tape and adhesive are uv protected to help prevent deterioration. It came off again.

There are several different options for this. After a couple of tries recovering it i bought 6 mil uv plastic and it lasted till i got a greenhouse. I went looking for a strong adhesive and read the labels carefully. Poly patching tape is a single coated 6 mil uv stabilized clear polyethylene film with a high tack acrylic adhesive.

You use it to prime the plastic. The first is actually like a marker pen. Screws are easily removable in the event that you need to restretch or replace the film. The second is probably a normal superglue.

Use plastic sheeting that is equal to or greater than the height and length of the greenhouse walls so only one sheet is needed for each wall. Apply a polyethylene tape to the area where the pvc meets the greenhouse plastic. Avoid fastening plastic to a greenhouse on a windy day. It works like superglue and you can stick yourself together if you are not careful.

Using the low setting on my heat gun gently heat up the two sheets till they. Heavy duty tape designed for interior and exterior bonding applications and is great for repairing minor tears in polyethylene greenhouse film. Side by side fasteners. Would a hot glue gun work or would it melt the plastic.

In this climate it became tattered from the sun and wind. Drywall screws are the best way to anchor polyethylene films to the baseboards of your greenhouse structure. The door has a velcro strip to open and close it.
