On the search for a good light dep tarp...been lookin online at stuff and almost bought some 7mil panda film but it’s not gonna fit...has anyone pulled regular black tarps, 11mil and had success? Some people have said not to do it as it doesn’t block out all the light...others are saying they’ve had success. Not trying to spend an arm and a leg on a tarp this season...any suggestions??:thank you:

it depends if you have a system pulling it for you or will you be doing it by hand? And is it just a basic hoop house with pvc where it will be getting open sunlight or an actaull structure greenhouse with pannels?

the thicker mil the heavier the tarp and more pain in the ass to pull by hand. but thicker might be better its more abrasive to get holes in it

Thanks norcal, it’ll be my first year doing any dep so we’ll have to see how it goes!! I went with 11mil poly, figure it’ll do the job. Thanks again!
