Contrary to popular belief UV is not that much important for plants. It is harmful for skin, so lots of stuff blocks UV, but as long as it lets visible light through, it is good for a greenhouse.

Plants don’t need UV.

Wife and I used that exact product for the roof on our 12′ x 24′ greenhouse. Six years and no complaints.

Corrugated is going to be harder to seal and it isn’t going to provide anything better than just regular poly.

I’ve been using it for sometime now, and have had no issues.
yep. I recommend the tinted ones as clear lets too much light through and will quickly become 10,000 degrees.

It will become brittle. I had to replace mine with polycarbonate.

If you live somewhere with higher UV exposure they don’t last very long.

The flat panels are easier to work with and look better but are aboutn 2x as expensive

I have single wall poly on my roof in my greenhouse. Dual wall poly in route to replace it soon. It doesn’t retain heat or keep out enough uv rays in the summer. Do not use single wall corrugated plastic in growing environments where you’re trying to keep temps balanced.
