It's 6-mil. The UV inhibitor that they put into it is stronger than the process they use to make the seams.

And yes, pvc pipe will eat poly, so will treated lumber. White latex paint as a barrier is the answer.


edit: I just noticed that link says: UV stabilized for up to four years of film life.

They must have been talking about the seams and not the plastic.

I bought the exact same film. I am on year 4 and it appears to be in good shape. Mine even lays against cattle panels and yet it still holds up. I have had just a few minor tears and I jump on those with repair tape before they expand.
