Connecting HDPE Pieces

There are two ways to connect multiple pieces of HDPE together. One method is to overlap the HDPE and use our double sided seam tape to connect the two pieces. The other method is to butt the ends together and use our 17 mil single sided seam tape to create a solid connection.

Overlap Method
(for underground installations)

The overlap method is best used when connecting two pieces of HDPE in a buried application. Due to the overlap, a ridge is exposed which is not ideal when installed in exposed vertical or flat installations in high traffic areas as there is a possibility of an object catching on the ridge and pulling the two pieces apart.

In a below ground installation, the large overlap area provides a more water resistant connection as well as enhanced protection against tree and plant root intrusion.

End to End Method
(for exposed installations)

When installing HDPE on a wall, floor or anywhere that is exposed, the end to end method provides a secure connection and does not leave any ridges exposed to potential catching by a person or object.

Why Choose Plastic Sheeting for Under Gravel?

This plastic sheeting offers a host of benefits that make it an essential component for gravel installations:

When buried underground and shielded from direct sunlight, the material boasts an impressive lifespan of up to 100 years. This longevity reduces the need for replacements, saving time and money over the long term.
3. Weather and Pest Resistance
• Waterproof: Protects against moisture, preventing water from eroding the base.
• UV Resistant: If exposed temporarily, it resists sunlight damage.
• Non-Biodegradable: Will not rot or mildew, ensuring it maintains its structural integrity.
• Insect and Rodent Resistant: Designed to deter pests, offering peace of mind for underground installations.
4. American-Made Quality
Manufactured in the USA, this product meets stringent quality standards, ensuring reliability for professional and DIY use.

Key Applications

Plastic Sheeting for Under Gravel is suitable for a wide range of uses, including:

1. Driveways and Parking Areas
The sheeting acts as a sturdy separation layer, preventing gravel from sinking into the soil over time. Its tear-resistant properties make it perfect for handling the weight of vehicles, ensuring a stable surface.

2. Drainage Systems
Used in conjunction with gravel, the plastic sheeting helps direct water flow while keeping the base material in place. This is especially useful in retaining walls, French drains, and other water management systems.

3. Landscaping Projects
From garden paths to decorative rock beds, this sheeting provides a clean, durable base that prevents gravel from mixing with the soil. It also helps maintain the shape and appearance of the design over time.

4. Construction and Industrial Use
The thicker options are ideal for heavy-duty applications, such as creating durable bases for temporary roads or stabilizing ground under large equipment.

Benefits of Using Plastic Sheeting for Under Gravel

• Prevents Gravel Migration: The sheeting creates a barrier that keeps gravel from shifting into the soil, ensuring a stable, level surface.
• Reduces Maintenance: By minimizing gravel loss and erosion, the sheeting helps maintain the integrity of the project, reducing the need for frequent repairs.
• Eco-Friendly Longevity: The product’s durability and non-biodegradable nature mean fewer replacements and less environmental impact over its lifespan.
