I’m using this in my garden and admittedly, it’s my first time using it in such a large area. It went down fine, I overlapped 6” for the next rows. Everything looked great, and maybe even better after a couple days of sunshine “shrunk” it down and pulled out the wrinkles. BUT, it hasn’t stopped shrinking on me and has pulled on my staples, ripping some spots. My husband and I readjusted it all today and added more staples in. Our 6” overlap is more like 3” at this point and I hope it doesn’t shrink more than that. I’m hopefully optimistic, but the plan was to use it and take it up this fall to reuse again next year. I’m unsure if it will survive until then. Maybe it’s user error, maybe this is just what it does. I don’t know.
