-Do you have any idea who makes "corrigated polypropylene". and if
there
-is a specific trade.
This is information I got from the local (Australian) manufacturer.
USA suppliers of Corrugated Polyproplene:-
World Packaging Corporation
Texas
Corex
Indiana
Coroplas
Dallas
Apparently this material can be welded at low temperatures, is
relatively inert except to Chlorides and Copper sulphate, can be riveted
and sealed by most commercial silicon sealers. It also comes in many
colours including translucent allowing up to 95% of light through. It is
used here in glass houses as it is also a good insulator. Apparently
they also make structural elements out of the stuff.
I'm looking at building a movable "glasshouse" for annual vegetables out
of the stuff, using Tony's design
I hope it helps.
