  • Add interior of another 720' = 1440' of seam
  • For roof - 700 ft
  • 2140 ft of seam

About

  • Taping seams is always a good idea - [3]. Some tapes listed. First one is 50 cents/foot.
  • Acrylic or butyl (rubber) adhesive does not end up drying or cracking. Acrylic has peak performance, then butyl [4]. Asphalt is for poor people.

Aluminized scrim had a hard time conforming to irregularity.
  • Check.pngPacking tape is 1.2 cents - cheap - 2.6 mil and 31 lb per inch longitudinal strength. [14]. But appears to work starting at 14F, whereas greenhouse tape is -40F. [15] on amazon is 1.3 cents.
