Greenhouse Reinforced Film - Reviews and Experience

Korean Reinforced Film
A comment
Last year we bought such a film for the greenhouse. They chose the most expensive, hoping. that the quality will be high. It was stated by the manufacturer that it would last several seasons ... Some 5 thousand hryvnias paid something (a greenhouse of 50 sq. M.) ... By the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, a full kapets came to the film ... The reinforcement remained, and the film fell .

This is complete g .... not a quality film. Deception and divorce of suckers (among whom we also got).

Polinet Lux - Korean reinforced film. Quite of dubious quality and obvious deception in the thickness.
A comment
I have had a greenhouse for quite some time, I had to buy and install a coating every year. Since the greenhouse has a metal frame, it is not possible to put and remove the same film every season. Given that in our area every year in May-June, during the landing of seedlings, very strong winds blow. Sometimes it was necessary to patch or pull the coating set a week ago.

Last year, I bought a film from the Korean company Polinet. I thought it’s enough for several seasons. According to calculations, it should have paid off in 3 years. but it was not there. The winds raised the squares between the threads of the reinforcement.
pros
No
Minuses
if it is necessary to pull it as well as the usual one every year, then there is no particular expediency and time saving, not to mention the fact that the cost of such a film exceeds the usual one by 3-4 times.
Term of use
more than three years

Reinforced Polinet Lux film - reliable coating
A comment
I bought a reinforced film Polinet Lux last season, when the old one has already turned into one continuous patch of adhesive tape. I think that now the greenhouse will last several seasons without the troublesome film overhaul each year.
pros
the sun easily penetrates into the greenhouse, I did not notice much difference with the old non-reinforced;
A reinforced film of 200 microns, heavier than usual, although not a bit, which does not allow the wind to inflate it. As a result, it is easier to pull.
It is very convenient to cut, you cut between threads and all.
Do not peck the birds as usual;
A wonderful crop of cucumbers was grown;
After the hail I came to the garden, at least something like a film, but the polycarbonate beat many neighbors.
Minuses
a rather high cost compared to a conventional 200 micron thick polyethylene film.
Term of use
more than three years

Reinforced greenhouse film from Polinet Lux the best choice
A comment
I have been engaged in the professional cultivation of herbs, tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, and more recently, seedlings, since 95. I use frames both factory-made and home-made. Over the years I have tried many “special films for greenhouses”.For the most part, these films are simply an advertising trick of the implementers. From the year before last, I took the reinforced Polinet Lux film for coating, for testing. Now I gradually transfer all my greenhouses to this film. She was perfectly adapted to difficult operating conditions. Withstands extreme temperature changes, wind and snow load, thanks to strong threads. And large cells provide maximum light throughput after glass.
pros
long-lasting, durable, convenient in cutting, minimum amount of waste;
Minuses
- Comparatively high price
Term of use
more than five years

The reinforced film Plastic No. 17 for the greenhouse nuances of use
A comment
I have not had a greenhouse for the first year. And until recently, each time in the spring I was faced with the excruciating question of what kind of coating film to buy, so as not to run into an expensive, but ordinary film, the whole advantage of which is the simple lies of marketers. Three years ago I decided to try reinforced film. I shot it for the winter, because I saw an example of a neighbor who left her, hoping for strength. The film actually withstood, but the wooden frame of the greenhouse is not.

As for the light transmittance, then, first, the seedlings, and then the tomatoes in it grow beautifully.

I use film No. 17 of the Plastic factory, 170 microns thick. I think it is impractical to take thicker with reinforcement, since it is still necessary to change after 3-4 years, even if the coating itself is intact. From microdamages, the light transmittance greatly decreases.
pros
It turns out cheaper than buying a new one every year.
Minuses
For the winter, you still need to shoot.
Term of use
more than five years
