Multi-Purpose Plastic Sheeting
 ✖  |
Sheets of 4 by 8-ft. thick plastic are finding a multitude of uses from landscaping to horse barns, says Steve Coley. He and his wife are marketing the sheets, which come in 1/2, 3/4, 1, and 1 1/2-in. thicknesses. While sized like plywood, they are much heavier and stronger. A 3/4-in. sheet weighs 94 lbs., and while it bends under pressure, it will return to its original shape.
"My father-in-law is a house mover, and he lays down full-size sheets beneath the wheels as temporary roadways. Landscapers cut them up into 2-ft. wide strips to drive on so they don't damage lawns."
Coley says one customer even lined his horse stalls with the sheets. They were easy to hose down, and the horse couldn't chew on them like he could on wood.
The sheets stand up better than plywood does in caustic or wet environments. Like plywood, they have a textured surface that provides some traction.
Sheets are priced at $60 each for 1/2-in. and 3/4-in. sheets, $70 for a 1-in. sheet and $85 for a 1 1/2-in. sheet. Shipping is extra. Quantity discounts available.
