The Pegdev 1000 Gauge (250 Micron) Black Polythene Sheeting is a heavy-duty, versatile solution designed for both professional construction contractors and dedicated DIY gardeners. It serves as an effective damp-proof membrane (DPM) for concrete flooring while offering enough flexibility for tasks like weed control or temporary structural repairs. While its high tensile strength makes it extremely durable, its significant weight and thickness can make it cumbersome to handle in tight indoor spaces without assistance.

No, this polythene sheeting is intended for construction and landscaping purposes, not for food contact or storage.
While it is durable, it is not specifically formulated as a pond liner. For long-term water retention, we recommend dedicated EPDM or specialized pond liners.
Use a wide, high-tack professional-grade duct tape or DPM jointing tape to ensure a moisture-proof seal.
The material is designed for outdoor durability, but extreme and prolonged direct sunlight will eventually degrade any polythene over several years.
Yes, 1000 gauge (250 micron) is the industry standard for damp-proof membranes in residential concrete flooring applications.
No, polythene is a non-porous material and paint will not adhere to the surface.
Use heavy-duty ground pegs or place gravel/timber along the edges to anchor it.
Ensure a minimum 150mm overlap and apply waterproof construction-grade tape along the seam.
Work in a flat, open area and recruit a second person to help unroll the sheet to avoid creasing.
For DPM applications, ensure the surface is clear of sharp rocks or debris that could puncture the plastic. Overlap sheets significantly to maintain integrity. When using outdoors for greenhouse insulation or plant protection, secure the edges firmly with pegs or weighted timber to prevent wind uplift. For care, this sheeting requires little maintenance; simply hose it down if it becomes muddy. If stored, keep it rolled in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to extend its lifespan, despite its weather-resistant properties. Avoid using box cutters or sharp blades directly on finished surfaces when trimming the material.
