ANTI HOTSPOT TAPE

What length is Best to Get?

The length you need will depend on the size of your greenhouse or poly tunnel.  Many tapes are sold in different lengths, however, depending on the size of your frame and whether you want to cover specific areas or all of it will determine how much tape you will need.  The roll here as an example is 9m long.  So you will need about 2 rolls on average.  You may want to work out the overall length of your frame.

The tapes also come in different widths depending on which tape you decide to get.  Usually, these are 20, 25mm and 30mm wide.

It is also important that the tape you choose sticks really well to the metal frame.

It may pay to buy one longer tape rather than two shorter ones to get the best value.
