Clear 4 Mil Sheeting for Wrapping Porches, Pens, and Windows Through Winter
If you close in a screened porch each winter to keep snow off the floor, wrap an outdoor poultry pen against wind, or cover drafty windows, this roll gives you 250 square feet of film that still lets light through. The 10 ft width covers a tall wall section or a wide window in one piece, so you only cut to length.
It also fits indoor work, such as partitioning off a heated area during a build, covering furniture, or lining a wet area as a water barrier. If the cover has to carry a load or take constant wind on a large open span, a string reinforced film is the heavier option.
What to Expect from the Copper Creek 4 Mil Clear Plastic Sheeting in Real Use
Feedback from verified Amazon purchases describes this film as tough for its thickness and clear enough to see through. Owners who cover windows report they can make out objects in the yard, and one notes a slight frost that adds privacy.
A purchaser who wraps a 12 ft x 12 ft screened porch every winter found that 3 mil film ripped in high wind while this 4 mil held, and recommends stapling through a strip of duct tape so the staples do not tear the sheet. On a walkway awning, it came through a winter storm with gusts near 40 mph. Indoors, it has partitioned a heated living space during a cabin build, protected a couch from cats, and served as a shower water barrier.
On windows, it held with double sided insulation tape. One user wrapping a chicken pen found pinholes that let rain through the roof section and planned a second layer. For overhead rain cover, compare heavier tarps or other poly sheeting weights.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you see through 4 mil clear plastic sheeting?
Yes, with limits. This sheeting is clear enough to let in plenty of light and to make out objects on the other side, such as items in your yard or the next room. It has a slightly frosted look, so the view is softer than glass, and it gives you a little privacy on windows.
How do you attach plastic sheeting to a screened porch for winter?
Cut the sheeting to cover each wall section, then run a strip of duct tape from top to bottom along each stud where you plan to fasten. Staple through the tape and the plastic together. The tape keeps the staples from tearing holes in the film when the wind pulls on it. On windows, double sided insulation tape holds the sheet to the frame.
Is 4 mil plastic sheeting strong enough to hold up in wind?
For vertical enclosures like porch walls, window covers, and walkway awnings, yes. This 4 mil film resists tears and punctures and can hold through winter storms with gusts around 40 mph when it is fastened well. Thinner 3 mil film is more likely to rip in high wind. If you are using it as an overhead rain cover, check the sheet for pinholes and double the layer where the area must stay dry.
