How to inspect your polyethylene!

February 16, 2024

Did you know that it’s important to inspect your polyethylene at the change of season?

If your region has experienced high winds, ice, hail, heavy snowfall or any other severe weather event, it’s a good idea to inspect your siding and greenhouse.

How to inspect your cladding

  1. Inspect your greenhouse covering regularly;
  2. By feel, check your polyethylene for cracks or openings. For minor imperfections, you can apply a repair adhesive. Promote immediate repair to extend the life of your covering. In the opposite case, if the hole is not repaired in time, the tear may worsen with the winds.

Installation tip for repair adhesive

  1. Make sure the surface is clean and dry;
  2. Calculate the adhesive slightly larger than the hole;
  3. Apply adhesive both inside and outside the polyethylene. Check internal air pressure using the air damper.
