Could anyone recommend a good plastic to cover my greenhouse in?
And maybe a company to get it from.
Thank you.

You are probably looking for 6mil UV resistant plastic. Not knowing how much you need to cover, I suggest going on line and looking for the best price for the width and length that will work for your GH. I recovered walls last fall and got mine from Grower's Supply. You can get 6mil at big box stores but not UV treated. It will only last two or three years though. UV treated is slightly more expensive, but not much, and will last four or more years. That said, I use a second layer of polycarbonate over the plastic in winter since I exclusively raise orchids which need a relatively warm, humid space compared to the average greenhouse. I made a bubble wrap "blanket" for the polycarbonate roof for the first time this year and for one sidewall.
