Best type of polycarbonate for a GH ?
Posted: Wed Sep 20, 2017 12:27 am
Hello,
The greenhouse I plan to buy comes in 3 models =
- Clear polycarbonate panels
- Twin wall 4 mm polycarbonate
- Hybrid, clear for the walls and twin wall for the roof.
At first I tought the clear panels, 90 % light transmission, was the best choice for cacti.
But the manufacturer states that the twin wall, 70 % light transmission, diffuse the light and that this is better for plants in general.
I only plan to use the GH to extend the growing season a little bit in spring and fall.
What do you think about that ?
