I used to buy the large window film. Smaller one was .7. the large ones were 1.5. Suddenly polycro (or polycyro as it is also known) sold by my supplier on Amazon is only the .7.
Since I like it a little tougher for my footprints, etc. I was looking for a heavier source.
My google searches are probably just defective, but since I did not get far, I thought I'd ask if anyone has a thicker source. Perhaps 1.5 isn't the right thickness anymore to search for something heavier than .7?
Thanks for any ideas.
No guarantee that they still sell it.
My source for 1.5 polycryo is Ace Hardware Online here in Texas. I have it shipped to my local store. It’s seasonal so you may not find it again until the fall. I got the patio door outside film and it’s big. I get several pieces for my 1 & 2 person tents.

This is what I buy. The price went up. 84”x110”.

Home Depot and Lowes generally carry it in both weights.

It's a seasonal product... odds are good your source will undry up in the fall.
Looks like it's mainly off the shelf at Hopey Depot these days up here, in Texas I have to imagine it got pulled months ago.
Gossamer Gear sells a 1.0 if you get hard up.
No experience- appears bad rating is for the tape, but 1.5mils.

i use the thin . I use the dbl sided tape and fold over the edge so it won’t rip as easily
I use 1.5mil. IIRC Frost King at Home Depot and Duck Brand on Amazon.
