Dream Greenhouse: Construction attaching the greenhouse plastic film

Part 3:
The greenhouse walls are built from a specialised tear resistant plastic film. It is a two person job to accurately wrap and attach the plastic sheeting to the greenhouse frame.
The plastic film is attached to wooden battens to stop it touching the metal frame. In our hot Australian summers the plastic will perish if it touches the hot metal.
It is important to not have slack areas as they can flap in the wind and wear out more quickly.

Where did you get your plastic from? do you have a link please.

Hi Glenn, the plastic film is from Mitre10. I need to look up the details. Cheers Karen

Love video. Can you recommend plastic type and distributor and specs ?

[@karensutherland-edibleeden1916]

Finally I can! Redpath Greenhouses, Bagshot Victoria, Australia, (near Bendigo) www.redpath.com.au stocks 3 types of greenhouse film in various widths and lengths, whihc can be delivered by courier (a bit expensive). I found them very helpful when I recenlty bought some for a friend. Also Sage Horticultural. I thought they used to be only wholesale but I think they sell to the public now. Cheers
