Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this sheeting UV stabilized?

This sheeting is designed for general purpose, heavy-duty applications. While it is durable, prolonged direct UV exposure may degrade the plastic over several seasons.

Can I use this for a pond liner?

This product is not specifically rated or manufactured for long-term fish-safe pond lining; it is intended for construction and horticultural use.

How do I cut the plastic?

The material can be easily cut to your desired dimensions using a pair of heavy-duty household scissors or a sharp utility knife.

Is the material transparent?

No, this is a black polythene sheet, meaning it is opaque and does not allow light to pass through.

Does it come on a roll?

Sizes up to 3m long are supplied folded. Larger dimensions are provided on rolls to prevent excessive creasing.

Troubleshooting

Sheet is creased upon arrival

Lay the sheet flat in direct sunlight for a few hours to allow the material to soften and the creases to naturally relax.

Sheet blowing away in high wind

Use heavy-duty landscape pins or secure the edges with sandbags or heavy timber to ensure a wind-tight seal.

Water pooling on the surface

Ensure the sheet is installed with a slight slope or tension to encourage runoff and prevent heavy water accumulation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High versatility for both garden and construction tasks
  • Provides effective weed suppression and soil temperature management
  • Durable black polythene offers light-blocking and insulation benefits
  • Available in various sizes to suit different project scales

Cons

  • Folded delivery for smaller sizes may require flattening before use
  • Not intended for long-term permanent roofing structures
  • Opaque black finish prevents light transmission to plants beneath

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the lifespan of your Pegdev Polythene Sheeting, ensure the area is clear of sharp debris that might puncture the plastic before installation. When using for weed suppression, anchor the edges securely with landscaping staples or heavy stones to prevent wind lift. For greenhouse use, wipe down with a damp cloth periodically to remove dust and ensure maximum light efficiency for your structure. Avoid exposing the sheet to extreme heat sources or open flames, as the polythene is combustible.
