Has anyone had any experience with Mega greenhouse supply's 70% sunshine permeable molded plastic sheeting that is constructed exactly like corrugated, double walled, ridged polycarbonate sheeting.

Available in 2 other wider widths also available in rolls. Greenhouse Covering | Greenhouse Megastore
This sheeting is also UV resistant, and flexible enough to be rolled up and shipped to you by ground service.
It's also warranted for 10years+.
They will also cut to order.
No minimum order required.
They ship from both Colorado, and California.
Any info. would be appreciated.
Thanks!

The cheaper stuff is only 3.5 mm not much insulation, the Pro is 5mm still less than 6 mm polycarb twin wall and actually more expensive (same site). It may be less expensive to ship and being very flexible better for curved surfaces and easier to install. Insulated (6-10 mm twin wall polycarbonate) panels are more expensive, but should easily pay for themselves in heating cost savings (provided you have a well sealed enclosure).

I have looked into it, and both thicknesses of Solexx are better insulating than 10 mm twin wall wall polycarbonate.

I have considered using it, but am concerned about the light reduction. I'm certain that it would be great without shade cloth in the summer, but will it require me to provide supplemental light in winter?
