Frost King Clear Polyethylene Sheeting is a 10 ft x 20 ft, 3 mil plastic sheet for covering and sealing around the home, garden, and garage. It shields furniture, appliances, and equipment from dust, moisture, and paint, and works as a storm window, temporary enclosure, moisture barrier, or protective layer over plants and shrubs.
It suits homeowners and gardeners who need light transmitting poly film they can cut to fit. The film has a translucent finish that lets daylight through. At 3 mil it is the lighter weight in the line, and heavier poly sheeting options are the match for floor protection.

Clear Poly Sheeting for Winterizing Windows, Patio Doors, and Garden Tunnels
If you have drafty windows, a sliding patio door that leaks cold air, or a screened porch you want to close in for winter, this sheet gives you 200 square feet of film to cut into panels. Because it lets light through, the rooms behind it stay bright while the cold air stays out.
The same property makes it useful in the garden, where you can stretch it over hoops as a winter tunnel to carry cold hardy crops through to spring, either on its own or alongside frost protection fabric. If you are covering a permanent growing structure, look at greenhouse film made for that job.
What to Expect from the Frost King Clear Polyethylene Sheeting in Real Use
Feedback from verified Amazon purchases centers on winterizing. Buyers who cover their windows with it each year report that it keeps cold air out and helps hold heat in the house. It closed off a drafty sliding patio door in a bedroom, and one household hung it with Velcro strips, then took it down, folded it, and stored it to reinstall the next fall.
Expect a translucent sheet, not a glass clear one. It lets light in, but several purchasers describe it as cloudy, and opinions differ on how well you can see through it. The 3 mil film is described as thin and light enough to handle easily, and easy to cut. Spread on the ground as a game board at a picnic, it took foot traffic without tearing.
A gardener used it over a winter growing tunnel, brought onions, beets, spinach, and garlic through to spring, and plans to reuse the same sheet a second winter. For other seasonal plant protection, see the full range of covers for garden beds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is clear plastic sheeting actually see through?
Not fully. This sheeting is translucent. It lets daylight into a room or a garden tunnel, but the view through it is cloudy, not crystal clear. If you need to keep a clear view out of a window, plan for that. If you only need light to pass through, it does the job.
Can you use plastic sheeting to cover windows and patio doors for winter?
Yes. This sheeting is made for creating storm windows and doors. Cut a panel to cover the full frame of a window or sliding door and fasten it around the edges to seal out cold air. If you attach it with Velcro strips, you can take the panel down in spring, fold it, and put it back up the next fall.
Can you use 3 mil plastic sheeting for a garden winter tunnel?
Yes. This sheeting works as a protective layer for plants, and it lets in the light crops need. Stretched over a low tunnel, it can carry onions, beets, spinach, and garlic through winter to spring and give you an early start on the spring garden. A sheet that comes through the season in good shape can go back on the following winter.
