The Pegdev 16m x 4m 500G Recycled Polythene Sheeting is an ideal choice for professional builders, contractors, and home gardeners who require a robust, moisture-resistant barrier for heavy-duty applications. Offering exceptional durability through its 500-gauge thickness and UV-resistant properties, this sheeting excels at protecting construction sites and sensitive crops from the elements. While its opaque, neutral color is excellent for concealing surfaces, users should note that the recycled material is not transparent, which may limit visibility in applications where light transmission is a requirement.

No, this is an opaque, neutral-toned sheet, which is not suitable for applications requiring light transmission like traditional greenhouse windows.
Yes, its heavy-duty nature makes it excellent for protecting flooring and furniture from paint splatters and construction dust.
500-gauge indicates a heavy-duty thickness (125 microns) suitable for industrial, construction, and agricultural use.
Yes, the polythene is inherently waterproof and acts as an effective barrier against water, moisture, and vapor.
Use a sharp utility knife or heavy-duty scissors. For best results, cut against a flat, stable surface.
Yes, it is mindfully crafted from recycled materials to provide a sustainable, yet robust, protective solution.
Ensure the surface is clear of sharp rocks, metal debris, or nails before laying the polythene down.
Ensure a minimum 150mm overlap and use professional-grade construction adhesive tape to create an airtight seal.
Use heavy-duty ground pegs or sandbags around the entire perimeter to provide sufficient weight and anchorage.
To install the sheeting, ensure the underlying surface is cleared of sharp debris that could cause premature punctures. When using as a damp-proof membrane, overlap seams by at least 150mm and seal with high-quality, heavy-duty construction tape to ensure a continuous moisture-proof layer.
For outdoor covers, secure the edges using bricks, ground pegs, or weighted objects to prevent wind lift. While the material is UV-treated, you should store the unused portion in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the structural integrity of the plastic over the long term. If the surface becomes dusty or muddy, simply hose it down with water and allow it to air dry before folding for storage.
