Greenhouse Plastic 5.5m x 1m – 200 Micron Covering Film Sold Per Metre

Greenhouse Plastic 5.5m x 1m: 200 Micron Film Sold Per Metre

This is heavy-duty 200 micron greenhouse film, 5.5 metres wide, sold in 1 metre lengths so you can buy just the amount you need. It's the same covering material used on greenhouses, poly tunnels and grow houses, but in a cut-to-length format rather than a full roll, which suits smaller structures, patch repairs and top-ups without paying for a whole 75 metre roll.

The 200 micron gauge is what sets it apart from thin plastic sheeting. It's a genuinely heavy film that holds up to wind, handling and being stretched over a frame, while staying translucent so light still reaches the plants inside. Because it's sold by the metre at a 5.5m width, you order the length that matches your frame and get a single sheet with no joins across that span.

What It's Used For

Greenhouse film creates a warm, sheltered growing space by holding heat and humidity while letting light through to the plants. That's useful for extending the growing season, raising seedlings, protecting tender plants from cold and wind, and keeping crops going through cooler months. The per-metre format makes it a practical pick for a small home greenhouse, a single tunnel section, or replacing a worn or damaged panel on an existing structure.

Working Out How Much You Need

Since it's 5.5m wide and sold by the metre, measure the length of the structure you're covering and add extra on each end so you can pull the cover taut and fix it down. Secure the film with batten tape, clips or timber battens rather than staples through bare film, which tear out under wind. Avoid stretching it over sharp edges or rough timber, and fit it on a warmer day when the film is more flexible, so it pulls tighter as it cools.
