Superior, energy-efficient greenhouse covering

Solawrap is an incredibly strong and energy-efficient greenhouse covering manufactured in Germany. It is a three-layer transparent polyethylene film with thousands of air bubbles in the middle that act as energy-saving insulation. It has excellent light diffusion properties to provide year-round growth. Solawrap is a cost effective solution, being less expensive than traditional glasshouses. It is strong as well as resistant against extreme weather. Pricing information is available here

We went with Solawrap for several reasons

We went with Solawrap for several reasons. We dislike replacing stuff when we can get better products that last. The history of Solawrap suggests we will be using our greenhouse for more than ten years. Twenty+ years is very possible. Poly film is not going to last that long so it would have been more wasteful and added effort to replace the film every 6 years or so.”

Happy to say that the Solawrap is holding up amazingly

“Happy to say that the Solawrap is holding up amazingly. The first [Geodesic] dome lasted 10 years before one 2x4 broke and I had to rebuild. 

2nd dome is now up and I reused the Solawrap by sizing the dome down from a diameter of 29’ to 18’.”

The product is holding out great

“The product is holding out great and doesn’t look much different from the day I installed it. Seems like a great product and I am very happy with it.”

Chris, Evolve Builders Group Inc., Ontario

I am very pleased with the way it stands up...

“This is a fantastic product. It has been on my dome for this, being the third season. I am very pleased with the way it stands up to the rain, wind, hail and snow.”

Last winter was our first and everything held up perfectly

“We made our small greenhouse using Solawrap for extending our Toronto growing season. Last winter was our first and everything held up perfectly. It was really tested with a winter storm that dumped more than our normal amount of snow. Really heavy wet snow. What surprised us was having cool weather greens growing in the raft until mid December. Now we are nearing the end of May and have a huge head start.”

The solawrap worked out really great for my project

“The solawrap worked out really great for my project. I bought a used hoop house and the 4’ wrap lined up perfect. My greenhouse is 20’ x 36’. The tip to spray lubricant in the channels was very helpful as that was the toughest part.

We installed insulation in the ground around the perimeter. 4’ of insulation above ground on the north side with steel roofing. Then solawrapped the rest.

I’m in Ontario and we’ve had some heavy snow loads this season. We clear it off each time and other than a subtle sag it has held up very well. The ground inside never froze.”
