Bootstrap Farmer Greenhouse Repair Tape
A small clean tear in polyethylene film is a tape repair. Broken glazing or frame damage is not.

- Not a physical product test
Skip if
The greenhouse uses glass or rigid polycarbonate, the film is dirty and brittle, or the damage is at a structural attachment point.
Hidden cost
A patch does not reset the life of degraded film. Multiple repairs often mean the cover itself is due for replacement.
Why it made the list
The buyer case
It is thick, transparent tape sold specifically for polyethylene greenhouse film, with roll sizes that fit an emergency repair kit.
Compatibility comes first
Bootstrap Farmer specifies polyethylene film. Clean and dry the surface and round the tear before applying tape on both sides where accessible.
Installation boundary
Repair in dry weather on a clean surface. Do not work at height or on a loose cover in strong wind.
Our verdict
Cheap insurance for film-house owners. It is not a universal greenhouse repair product.
