Film vs Fabric - Thoughts?

Mike723 · June 23, 2015

Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen,

Just wanted to get some opinions on coverings.. At the moment I have Sunmaster 6 mil film on the hoophouse.. I went with it because of the 92% transmission rate compared to the 85% on the 12 mil clear woven fabric. I question my decision because it has only been one year and I already have a tear! It has a 4 year warranty so I may just put in for it, but for all the trouble of disassembling the roll-up sides/wiggle wire etc, I'd rather just do it right. I'm just a little apprehensive with the added 7% decrease in light transmission..
