I purchased the 500g on a roll, and it is certainly sturdy enough. I used it to cover my newly made and manured raised beds late last year, in the spring...no weeds, worms had made a super ready seedbed! I shall reuse this year.
If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

Deb, where did you get yours from?

Hope you don't mind me 'borrowing' this thread Tim.

One of the eBay shops, I got a 20m roll. I've just had a quick look and there isn't any for sale at the moment I'm afraid..I've had a look through my past purchases and can't work out what the sellers name was either! Sorry.... :-\

In the event, needing a 4m width, I had to go to 1000g

So sorry - missed that.

NA Kay. May not be the cheapest but I've used them a lot.
