Batten Tape

Code: BTFS

Batten Tape is great for attaching plastic covers to greenhouses, for covering the ends of greenhouses, especially around the doors or other openings, or attaching temporary covers over cold frames. If you need to hold down tarps over construction projects, then you need Batten tape.

Formulated to resist extreme cold and UV radiation, Batten tape is designed to be tacked or stapled over greenhouse film to a wood or plastic surface securing the film to your structure. Ken-Bar's vinyl batten tape provides a quick fastening method for stapling plastic film to wood framing. Just staple every 4 inches through the tape and the plastic film into the wood. The tape will act as a batten strip to hold the plastic film in place. The tape is very flexible and easy to use -- unroll, hold in place, and staple. It is white and contributes to a neat and attractive structure. UV protected to resist cracking.

Installation is simple. Pull tape taut before stapling. Staple at least every 4 inches, using a minimum of 5/16 staples. For a tighter seal, staple every 2 inches. During cold weather, keep the tape in a warm place before use. When weather conditions are windy, use a double line of tape. To remove the plastic film, pull on the tape and the staples will come out.
