nah he's talking about the cling film stuff.... personally buy a new under sheet each year and use the old undersheet for a top sheet.

it is a pain rolling the undersheet back when opening the pit though.... very tempting to cut it and save the hassle:rolleyes:

bob charles

Its not that expensive its about €70 a roll. The one we got is about 65 feet wide and I cant remember the lenght of it. Will last a fews years as we just cut it to match the width of the pit when you roll it out and use the "width" (65ft) to cover the lenght of the pit!if you follow.
You put put it down first on the grass/ maize and throw the normal black stuff on top. You should have no waste if done right. Co-op should have them near you:)

I use the ZILL stuff which were the the boys first to bring it out. €100 a roll for is it 8m x 50m I think.

Have used the clear stuff in very difficult silage making conditions, with great results. We use 1 layer of the clear stuff, and 1 layer of the black stuff. The clear stuff we use is not uv stable.
