Build your dream greenhouse, high tunnel, or salvage an existing frame with Solexx Greenhouse Covering Rolls. Manufactured from a specially formulated, double-walled high-density polyethylene (HDPE), Solexx completely outperforms traditional clear poly films and rigid polycarbonate panels. Its unique twin-wall construction diffuses light evenly throughout your greenhouse, reaching the lower canopy of your plants and accelerating growth while virtually eliminating the risk of shadows or hot spots.
Unlike rigid materials that are difficult to cut and transport, Solexx is highly flexible. It seamlessly wraps around peaks and curved hoop structures to create a tight, highly insulated, watertight seal without the need for power saws. Once your covering is installed, pair your new structure with an automated Bluetooth irrigation timer to create the ultimate highly-controlled, year-round growing environment.

How does Solexx Greenhouse Covering protect my plants during intense summer heat?
Solexx Greenhouse Covering completely diffuses incoming sunlight, preventing harsh direct rays from burning leaves. This 100% light diffusion eliminates hot spots and creates a more evenly controlled environment during peak summer heat waves.
By scattering the light, Solexx ensures that even the lowest leaves in your plant canopy receive adequate sunlight without the extreme localized temperatures caused by clear glass or standard poly plastics.
What is the difference between the 3.5mm and 5mm Solexx Greenhouse Covering Rolls?
The 3.5mm Solexx Greenhouse Covering is ideal for standard climates and general applications. The thicker 5mm version provides higher insulation and superior structural strength, making it necessary for high altitudes or heavy snow areas.
If you live in an area that regularly receives multiple feet of snow buildup during the winter, the 5mm covering is highly recommended to ensure the roof of your structure can handle the weight.
Can I bend Solexx Greenhouse Covering Rolls around corners?
Yes, Solexx Greenhouse Covering Rolls are highly flexible and can easily wrap around the peaks, corners, and curved hoops of your greenhouse framework, ensuring a tight, weather-proof seal without snapping.
This flexibility makes it incredibly easy to install compared to rigid polycarbonate panels, allowing you to create continuous wraps over Quonset or hoop house designs.
Does Solexx Greenhouse Covering install horizontally or vertically?
Unlike rigid polycarbonate panels, Solexx Greenhouse Covering can be installed both horizontally and vertically. The flutes run the length of the roll, providing excellent structural strength and reducing waste during installation.
This versatility allows you to run the material continuously over the top of a hoop house or wrap it horizontally around the side walls of a standard framed greenhouse.
