Understanding Greenhouse Plastic Properties

LIGHT TRANSMITTANCE

Our 6 mil greenhouse film is designed with a light transmittance 89%.  This means 89% of light passes into your greenhouse through the plastic sheeting. High light transmission is essential to allow your plants to thrive.

GREENHOUSE SHEETING LIGHT DIFFUSION

The greenhouse film's diffusion allows light to be scattered around your hoop house and helps your plants get even lighting in all areas inside your structure.  Diffused light is particularly important for tall or self-shading plants that typically would get uneven light exposure in direct sunlight. This enables you to have fuller and more even growth in your greenhouse.

BENEFITS OF PLASTIC GREENHOUSE AND HOOP HOUSE COVERINGS

Direct light from the sun is not ideal for most plants.  Direct light means that no particles in the atmosphere or coverings are dispersing sunlight,  which can lead to scorch, uneven heating, and shadowing of nearby plants.  On a cloudy or overcast day, you will notice a lack of shadows because the light is being dispersed in many different directions.  Clear greenhouse plastic acts similarly to the clouds to diffuse the light but still allows 89% of the light through.  The plastic polyethylene film converts the direct sunlight into a more evenly distributed and dispersed light in your hoop house.  This allows the light to penetrate deeper into your plants, which improves your yields.  

Greenhouse plastic sheeting helps with light dispersion and creates a more uniform temperature inside your hoop house.  Direct sunlight causes hot spots on your plants, just like if you were standing outside in the direct sunlight on a hot sunny day.  Once the sun goes behind a cloud, you feel much cooler.  Your plants feel the same way.  Areas that are getting direct sunlight can be subject to sun scorch while the plants' shaded parts are nice and cool.  This can cause die-off and stress on parts of your plants that are overexposed to direct sunlight.  Light dispersion creates a more consistent temperature for your plants, enabling more uniform growth.

WHAT TO AVOID WHEN BUYING GREENHOUSE PLASTIC

When buying greenhouse plastic, be sure not to get it from a local hardware store such as Home Depot or Lowes. Yes, they sell cheap 6 mil plastic film, but it is not UV stabilized.  You will be lucky to get 4 months of use out of their plastic before it disintegrates, and you will have a mess of torn and brittle plastic to clean up.  Any greenhouse plastic you buy wants to make sure that it is UV stabilized.

Bootstrap Farmer's 6 mil clear greenhouse plastic has 89% light transmittance to bring plenty of diffused light into your structure for healthier and happier plants.

    Decent but not a great "sport" sun lotion.
    Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
    The Hawaiian tropic sport sunscreen worked pretty well for me but not perfect. It worked great on my face and arms that were in the sunlight for a partial amount of time. I noticed on my shoulders, which were in the sun constantly, it didn't provide the kind of protection that I needed which usually I'm usually able to get from a 30 SPF sunscreen. I feel like this sunscreen worked best for me on areas that were only going to be partially exposed and not in the sun the entire day. I will still continue to use it but will only use it when I'm going to be in the pool for a short amount of time. Also, I had the best results with this sunscreen when I let it dry about 10 minutes before getting into the water. In my opinion I think the smell of this sunscreen could be a little bit stronger too, and I found it a little bit weak. I prefer to still smell like sunscreen after putting it on and I barely smell like sunscreen after using it. I also didn't notice anything that would classify this sun lotion as a "sport" sun lotion. I did however find the sun lotion to be very moisturizing which was was nice.

    Started using after we got a sample from a boat show! Still using it!
    Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
    Been using this for years. I was a bit worried about the apparent re-formulation. Especially after reading some reviews, stating it was 'like Crisco' or it had a chemical smell. It does NOT. It gets absorbed into the skin (at least my skin) shockingly fast. I usually keep applying it til it stops getting absorbed! Performance is great! There is virtually no greasy feel to it at all. Great for the face. I have problems with most sunscreens irritating my face. This is the only product I have used that does not irritate. But the new reef friendly formula looks, feels, smells just like the old formula. Performs the same as well. Being an avid sailor, I have used virtually every brand. I keep coming back to this one. It is 'just right'

    Great
    Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
    Exactly what I wanted. It rubs in good, smells like coconut, and you don't have to put on a ton to protect you from the sun. As someone who works outdoors and is bald, taking the 20 extra seconds to apply sunscreen is worth not damaging my skin. My grandfather died of skin cancer, and I have a ton of moles from burning as a kid, so please, if you have kids, make sure they wear sunblock.

    Go-To for Reef-Safe & Light-Weight Sunscreen
    Style: SPF 50 Roll On, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
    Favorite sunblock to travel with. Appreciate the simplicity of it, and the fact that it rolls on and rubs in smooth. Of course the iconic scent is also a plus.
