We recommend that an experienced greenhouse contractor install this film (especially roof covers) to ensure
correctness of tension and long term overall performance. Contact your supplier or "Redpath" for your local
contractors details.
*14.
If painting the exterior surface of this film for shading purposes, use specified greenhouse shade paints only.
Note: allow the film to "weather" before applying paint coatings to gain an improved "fix".
*15.
In warmer climates "striping" with a white water based paint or applying a white reflective tape to the top surface of
the film at the edges may assist in the reduction of excessive heat build-up at these points and extend film life. Ensure
there is an adequate Ventilation System to limit heat build up inside the greenhouse, including when the greenhouse is
left fallow.
*16.
Inspect your greenhouse film monthly & maintain & repair any tears or holes promptly that may appear over time
through general wear and tear, using specialised tapes.
*17.
Avoid direct contact of pesticides with the film when spraying. Evidence indicates that chemical contact will
shorten the life of greenhouse films especially if allowed to build up to concentrated levels.
PLEASE NOTE:
Foggers
and U.L.V. misting units will increase chemical contact with film, and sprays, (known but not limited to) such as Banrot,
Bromime gas, Bromoxynil, Chloropicrin, Chlorine gas, Chlorpyrifos, Chlormaquat, Chlorothalonil, Chloride, Chlorine
bleach, Copper sulphate, Captan, Dithiocarbamates, Dienochlor, Diazinon, Fluvalinate, Hypochlorite swimming pool
chemicals, Iprodione, Methyl bromide, Methomyl, Mancozeb, Metam sodium, Oxamyl, Pentachchloronitrobenzene
(PNCB), Permethrin and other synthetic pyrethroids, Pool chemicals, Sulphur, Formetanate hydrochloride, Silver
thiosulfate, Vinclozolin, or containing chlorine, bromide, fluorine, copper, petroleum, oil or sulphur should be used with
care. It must be assumed that contact with these sprays on the polythene will shorten the life of the cover and any
warranties may be void. Should any warranty be made the claim is against the manufacturer.
We do not recommend the burning of Sulphur in the greenhouse environment as it is proven to degrade the UV
inhibitors used in greenhouse films. If sulphur is used we suggest that you may be able to minimize the effect by using
thermostatically controlled burners, however there is no guarantee that this will eliminate the problem.
*18.
Clean your greenhouse film regularly (inside and outside) using a suitable agent (no chlorinated or petroleum
based cleansers) 6 monthly. Take special care to wash the condensation collection points i.e. purlins, top wall rails and
base rails as these often harbour dirt and chemical build-up. Special care should also be taken if the greenhouse is
located near high outside spray use areas, i.e. Orchards etc, or exposed to naturally occurring chemicals e.g. sulphur
etc.
*19.
Your greenhouse design should conform with modern day accepted poly greenhouse standards (detailed
standards are available upon request), to extend film life. If in doubt about the suitability of your greenhouse structure
fo
r this film please contact your film supplier prior to installation. Refer Redpath Horticultural catalogue for supplier’s
statement and suitability of products.
*20.
The anti condensation agent used in most of these films, will in time “wash out”. The film may then be treated
with a product such as “Sunclear” to return the anti condensate performance to the film.
*21.
Warranties/claims may not be honoured for unpaid goods.
