Does anyone know a source in the USA for plastic sheeting for greenhouses?? And, anybody have a recommended mil thickness?(I will probably us a double layer).

Hi there!

I ordered online some shade cloth from this company and had a good experience:

Though I haven’t purchased anything from this company (yet!!), they did send me a very nice, free catalog:

Here’s another one I have been looking at:

Hope this gets you started!

Get some commercial greenhouse film from a greenhouse or nursery supply house, 6 mil is what you need if you want it to hold up to the weather.
UV treated film is best so that is does not fall apart after one year from sun exposure. I bought a 4-year rated film which is now finishing up it's fifth winter and it still looks OK...
