Nowadays, more and more people are investing into the use of corrugated plastic. But what exactly are they? There are two types of corrugated plastics depending on their structure. The first type is popularly known as ‘twinwall plastic’ and is composed of two layers of plastic with a ribbed sheet center. The second type, enforced with fiber glass, is made to appear waved in form, much like regular roofing materials. With a wide array of possible uses, whether it is for that tall new building or that project you’re working on inside your garage, it is not surprising that more and more people are using it. Here are four alternative ways of using it for your own DIY projects!
Transfer Boxes
As corrugated plastics are strong materials capable of withstanding a huge amount of weight, coupled with its amazing flexibility, it is an ideal item to have for transferring your stuff from here to there. It’s easy to cut, staple, and shaped to your own taste too, so rest assured that your stuff will be safe from damage and dents.
Small Garden Roofing
As it is versatile enough to withstand various chemicals and temperatures, it can also be used as roofing to your blooming garden. By using semi – translucent sheets of this plastic, you are able to give your plants the natural skylight. And don’t worry about it getting heated up by the sun, as it can also be UV resistant. Cleaning won’t be a problem either, since it is very easy to do so, and your standard garden hose can help you with that effectively!
Flower Pots
Don’t get the wrong idea; they can handle more than just flowers. Landscape artists and gardeners alike have been using it as homes for various plants too, whether temporary or permanently. Their insulation and resistance to temperature makes them ideal for such uses.
SPAD Models for Hobbyists
Due to its durability and light weight, makers began to use them in place of balsa wood for its cheaper price and high resilience. Mostly used by beginners, the use of corrugated plastic in this field has evolved as developers are now using it for their advanced models.
Corrugated plastic is indeed very usable in various ways. It comes in different colors and works with coating upgrades, such as UV protection and anti- scratch, so don’t hesitate to try and explore more of its uses!
