Nah, it's just a rubber strip on a long roll. Staples hold it down. Stapling the plastic directly doesn't hold up very well. You can also use screws with lathe strips of wood, same concept, but batten tape and staples are cheaper.
I've been moving away from wiggle wire and the metal channel to hold plastic down, just to save money. Boards and screws are cheaper. Wiggle wire does wear plastic a little, too. When you install it, there's no need to stretch it especially right, or else it will just tear the plastic around the wire. |
