Clear Reinforced Sheeting for Enclosing Scaffolding, Open Buildings, and Work Bays
If you need to close in a structure and keep working inside it, this sheeting fits the job. The 20 ft width covers a full story of wall or a tall bay opening in one piece, and the clear film lets daylight reach the work area so you are not relying only on lights.
The scrim gives the sheet the tear resistance a wide span needs when wind loads it, which is where plain contractor film tends to give out. It also works as an interior partition to hold dust, debris, or fumigation in one part of a barn or shop. For a permanent growing structure, use greenhouse film made for that purpose.
What to Expect from the Kotap 6 Mil Clear String Reinforced Plastic Sheeting in Real Use
Expect a sheet that handles differently from unreinforced poly sheeting of the same thickness. The 3x3 leno scrim is laid into the 6 mil film to resist tearing, and at 100 gsm the manufacturer describes the material as lightweight and easy to handle for its size.
One roll gives you 2,000 square feet, and the 20 ft x 100 ft sheet comes rolled, which helps with storage and with moving it around a site. As an enclosure, it is designed to keep rain and weather out while holding dust, debris, and vapors in.
As a partition, it keeps light moving between spaces, so the closed off area stays visible and workable. The clear film is intended for visibility and light transmission during the job. If you need a cover with built in tie down points, compare grommeted tarps.
Performance expectations are based on the manufacturer's product information.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you use reinforced plastic sheeting to enclose scaffolding or an open building?
Yes. This sheeting is made for temporary scaffolding and building enclosures. It protects the work area against rain and other weather, and the scrim reinforcement resists tearing across a large span. The 20 ft width lets you cover tall sections with fewer seams.
Will plastic sheeting contain dust and fumes in a work area?
Yes. Hung as a partition or wrapped as an enclosure, this sheeting contains dust, debris, vapors, and fumigation. Cut it to fit the opening and seal the edges and overlaps so the contained area stays closed off from the rest of the building.
Can you see and work behind clear reinforced plastic sheeting?
Yes. The clear film transmits light well, so daylight passes into the enclosed space and you keep visibility while you work. That makes it practical for enclosures and partitions where you still need to see what is happening on the other side.
