Greenhouse Film is a type of cover material used to protect plants from harsh weather conditions and to extend the growing season. It is usually made of clear polyethylene plastic, which allows sunlight to enter and helps to create a warm and humid environment inside the greenhouse. The film also serves as a barrier to keep pests and diseases away from the plants. Installing greenhouse film is an important step in building a greenhouse, but what is the best way to do it?
