How Do I Tape Greenhouse Plastic Sheets Together

Side by side fasteners.

How do i tape greenhouse plastic sheets together.

It comes in two parts. 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. It came off again.

I have a greenhouse that is covered in greenhouse plastic. Heavy duty tape designed for interior and exterior bonding applications and is great for repairing minor tears in polyethylene greenhouse film. You use it to prime the plastic. Screws are easily removable in the event that you need to restretch or replace the film.

I want to connect pieces of clear heavy plastic together to make a house shaped greenhouse without using tape. 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. Both tape and adhesive are uv protected to help prevent deterioration. The door has a velcro strip to open and close it.

Would a hot glue gun work or would it melt the plastic. The second is probably a normal superglue. Using the low setting on my heat gun gently heat up the two sheets till they. In this climate it became tattered from the sun and wind.

The first is actually like a marker pen. Thought i would post up how i joined polythene sheets together with a heat gun. Tapes there are aluminum or foil and vent tapes. I m afraid to use tape because i don t think it would stay on long term.

Apply a polyethylene tape to the area where the pvc meets the greenhouse plastic. It works like superglue and you can stick yourself together if you are not careful. 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. Could i sew the pieces together or would the needle holes cause ripping.

There are several different options for this. Poly patching tape is a single coated 6 mil uv stabilized clear polyethylene film with a high tack acrylic adhesive. Avoid fastening plastic to a greenhouse on a windy day. I went looking for a strong adhesive and read the labels carefully.

Drywall screws are the best way to anchor polyethylene films to the baseboards of your greenhouse structure. Ok a question for you chemists and techie types. I tried both ways wrapping the cattle panels with plastic and wrapping the whole shelter.
