Understanding Greenhouse Plastic Properties

Light Transmittance (89%)

High light transmission ensures your plants receive the energy they need for optimal growth.

Light Diffusion (21%)

Diffused light scatters evenly inside your hoop house, reducing shadows and hot spots. This is especially valuable for tall or self-shading plants, resulting in healthier, more uniform growth.

Benefits of Diffused Greenhouse Light

• Prevents plant scorch and uneven heating.

• Creates uniform temperatures for consistent yields.

• Mimics natural cloud cover while still letting in 89% of available sunlight.

• Improves light penetration deeper into plants, reducing stress.

Avoid Cheap Plastic Film

Big-box store plastic may look similar but isn’t UV-stabilized. Most degrade within months, leaving you with brittle, torn plastic. Bootstrap Farmer’s UV-stabilized greenhouse plastic is engineered for multi-year performance.
