Default URGENT!!! - need advice re. greenhouse 6mil poly


"Gene" wrote in message
...
Problem: We are about to stretch 6mil poly film
over a new 24'x72' greenhouse. I am afraid that I will "tear"
the 6mil poly film on a burr that may be on the 2" galvanized
steel hoops.

My thoughts are to "cover" the edge of the 2" hoops
that touch the 6mil poly with something like a run of
Duct-Tape.

Question: That type of tape (or other) would be best to use?
I am afraid that the Duct-Tape will dry out & become useless in
a short time. I am concerned that other tapes may have a chemical
reaction to the poly. 3M tech-support did not have a clue as to
what to use.

Please email me if you have an answer:-)

THANKS a million in advance!!!!

You should be able to get what we call in the UK "hot spot tape", it's

specifically designed for use on the hoops of what we call polytunnels. a
polytunnel supplier in the states should be able to supply...
