Why Use Anti-Condensate Films?
Formation of condensation inside a greenhouse is a major issue in a polyethylene greenhouses. Condensation droplets have been shown to reduce light transmission by as much as 50%. In addition to a of light quality, crop damage/spots, washout on seed beds and possible pathogen development may also occur. All of GT Plastics' anti-condensate films contain surface tension modifiers to help limit the formation of condensation droplets.
Longevity
There are many factors that will influence the longevity of the anti-condensate feature of all polyethylene films. Some factors that affect anti-condensate performance are:
- a very warm season
- a very humid/rainy season
- increased plant transpiration caused by high irrigation rates
- poor airflow
- ventilation practices
- insufficient film slopes
Processing
When ordering this film, allow processing time of 10-12 working days before order is shipped.

I would of given you a 5 but one of the rolls had two small holes in it which I had to tape. It was the one with the black markings on it and I did take pictures. I luckily had some good tape to cover the small holes so I didn't bother contacting you. Otherwise, I love it! Thank you.

We received our greenhouse film and I had ordered clear based on the picture. After our contractor had it installed, to me it is not as clear as it show in the picture on the website. It is more opaque. It does let in a lot of light. Have not checked with a light meter yet.

I ordered plastic to replace our bad greenhouse covering and my order was exactly as I wanted it and it came in very fast, didn't have to wait long for it. It is now covering our greenhouse and even with the winds we get in ND, it is holding up very well. Hoping it will last for several years not like the plastic that came with our greenhouse, it didn't even last 1 season. Will keep your company in mind for any further items I may need and also will recommend you to all my friends who need this type of supplies. Very happy with your company.

Just put up the first hoop house. Plastic seems strong. Much better that what you can buy at Home Depot. Only time will tell how it lasts. I use PVC piping as the frame to cover my raised beds. I had to cover them with white duct tape to prevent deterioration . Was a bit of a pain, but only have to do once.

This is my second time ordering this film, this time I ordered a wider cut. Unfortunately, the film arrived with a HUGE hole ripped in it, going through at least 6 layers of plastic. I haven't unrolled the film yet (don't need to cover til spring) but I suspect I'll need quite a bit of repair tape, which will make it ugly. Fortunately, this will not be in view. I wish the shippers could get their act together, the first time I had a rip too, but much smaller.

I bought this same brand years ago to hang from my eaves over some citrus trees to protect them from freezing. I haul it out in December and use it outside until mid-Feb. I checked, and it was 2004 when I bought it. I have used it almost every winter and stored it in a shed during the rest of the year. It has held up well through the years and through some very windy storms. Lets enough light through that I can leave it on continuously through the winter. I am still using it, but I needed more for a new avocado tree so I bought from here. The quality seems just the same, just as good as what I bought in 2004. Be aware that it is frosted in appearance, not translucent clear. It is not for windows, but for letting light through for plants. It works very well and holds up a long time.

Lasted four and half years in full California sun. Going to replace it this year as it has started to rip under stress. I've been really pleased with this. It was so easy to install. We used the battan material and stapled it to a wood frame base. We're back for more!

Have to give this a few years to see how it really performs but I can say it was super easy to install, very durable. NO white creases from pulling on or bending it like with cheaper poly. Stretched well over metal hoops. Perfect size as well for a 16x8 greenhouse with 5 ribs.

A World of Difference
Oct 14, 2015 | By Sharon
Was this review helpful?
We have hoop houses we built with 16' welded cattle panels. We tried going with "clear" 6 ml plastic UV protected film from the big box stores. The UV at our altitude of 9000' is horrendous on paint, plastic, and wood. But we thought if the product was coated with UV protection, we should get a couple of year's worth of service. Wrong!
Also, this "clear" from the the stores isn't really clear. It's opaque. It protected our plants from hail, but didn't really hold any heat in or let much light in.
We decided to try this product. It was late in the summer, the tomato plants were hanging on, but not growing. We tore the old stuff off (not that there was much left to tear off due to the breakdown of the product and the winds) and put this up. Within a week, the tomato plants not only started growing, but producting little tomatoes!
We have a misting system hanging from the ceiling adding moisture to the hoop house. So far no mold, no cracks, no tears. And it's HOT inside.
If this lasts more than 2 seasons (and we left it up to see how it fairs in the winter and snows), it will be well worth the extra cost. AND it's CLEAR. Truly clear. Not opaque.
We so hope that this is the answer to our UV problems and our short growing season.
Performance depends upon application
Oct 9, 2015 | By Owen
Was this review helpful?
Product received in fine shape. Main concern is application method. I'm sure the product does well enough with snap clamps or similar, though have built numerous greenhouses using staple methods reinforced with a wood batten strip. While I've used plain 6 mil on all previous projects without much issue other than short lifespan, I've noticed this material tears away from the fastener much more easily and proved difficult getting batten board on before it tried to pulled away. Too early to comment on overall performance, though would personally order a thicker mil on this product if I had to do it over.

Green House film

Was this review helpful?
I ordered my fil the week before my final construction of my green house, I took the week off to finish it . My film did not arive until I was already back at work.....almost two weeks later. When I did get the film I unwrapped the first piece and it was stamped this side down..I installed it and unwrapped the next piece for my 2 layer system....there were no markings at all ?? Both pieces were suppose to be anti-condensate uv protected ... For this being my first green house I am still wandering if I installed the 2nd piece the right side up....I guess I will know if it fails the fist year. I will probably use another vendor next time.

I used this film for the end walls of my seed starting greenhouse. The plastic was heavy and strong and installed very well. I especially liked that it did not have any words printed on it like some of the other greenhouse plastic I have bought in the past had. I plan to use the remainder of it for a quick hoop tunnel early this spring. So far I am very pleased with it, I will need see how long it lasts now.

Fair price, took about a week to get here. It's been doing a great job keeping the heat inside our greenhouse. However I'm giving this product a 4/5 because it is supposed to be anti-condensate but a lot of condensation does in fact build up. I don't really have anything to compare it to so maybe the condensation could be a lot worse! Overall it was a good deal and perfect to use on a greenhouse

I built my greenhouse in April of 2013. I picked this plastic for its strength and anti-condensation properties. After a record winter of snow the plastic has held up wonderful with my wood frame. There has been some amounts of condensation inside the greenhouse and I made sure plastic was placed on my frame correctly. This might be because of ventilation issues. Product was shipped fast and in great condition. Gave review a 4 based on condensation issues.

Satisfied Customer minus the condensate issue
Oct 21, 2013 | By Chris Wescott
Was this review helpful?
I have had the plastic film installed on my outdoor hydroponic system for about a month now.
It is holding up nicely.
Unfortunately condensate does accumulate on the inside surface of the film.
Perhaps condensate prevention is only possible when the greenhouse is well ventilated.
I'm giving this product 3 stars because I bought the film mainly for the description advertised of "anti-condensate" film.
Greenhouse Megastore
We have checked with the manufacturer and the condensate control coating is only applied to one side of the film. This side will have printing on the film, depending on width ordered. If has printing, the printing will read correctly, left to right, from the INSIDE of the greenhouse when installed. If upside down, printing will be inverted. Some smaller widths may not have printing. If there is not printing simply imagine as a large roll of carpet. Stand on the cut edge and kick the roll away from you. As it unrolls and unfolds it will be on the correct way.

This film should definitely minimize this type of condensation and is guaranteed to do so. We have contacted this customer to ensure that the right product was sent.

A VERY TOUGH plastic film, the 6 Mil thick is just the right guage to make a professional greenhouse out of. Very easy to see which side of the film goes to the inside/outside of the greenhouse. My version of a great- looking, and working, green house came out to look like a well made professional construction. Holds up well to the high winds we get here all year. I am very satisfied with the product and how my project came outlooking like a professional job.

We used the film to make a simple hooped greenhouse over a 5,000 gal pond. We pulled it over the pond at 5PM on a cold December night. The pond was already iced over except for one spot. The overnight low was 20f. By morning the pond was ice free, without any auxiliary heater. All winter the pond has been ice free even at 0f using just passive heating. The film has withstood large snow loads without tearing or stretching. The only tears were when it was nicked with a shovel, and those didn't run! Other films we've used have let the pond freeze and torn before the end of winter. This is good stuff and worth the price difference.
