Heavy Duty Black Polythene Sheeting - offered in 4m, 8m, or 14m widths, and a range of standard and custom lengths - is a high-strength, waterproof plastic membrane made from high- or low-density polyethylene (HDPE or LDPE). Designed for demanding outdoor and indoor applications, this sheeting protects large surface areas from moisture, dirt, and light.
The black finish effectively blocks light, making it especially suitable for weed suppression, ground stabilisation, and light-sensitive storage. However, please note that this sheeting is not UV-stabilised, so it is best suited for short- to mid-term use. For extended outdoor exposure, a UV-stabilised version is recommended.
These extra-wide format rolls reduce the need for joins and overlaps, making them ideal for covering greenhouses, construction zones, silage pits, or large landscaping projects. The heavy-duty thickness options resist tearing, puncturing, and general wear, even in challenging conditions.
