I have been told that the writing goes on the outside.  You can rub off the writing with alittle water and your finger.  That way you know which side is which. If they were wrong, I am wrong and so are my 3 buildings.

I agree. Farm-Tek isn't a manufacturer. Find the manufacturer's website and see if you can get the information from them.

>I don't know if anyone else has dealt with this but we just put up a new high tunnel with IR 6mil plastic.  We weren't sure if there was an 'inside/outside' to the film and of course put it up on a weekend evening so Farm-tek was closed.  After calling we were told the writing goes on the outside by the person who answered the phone.  The next person up the ladder said no, the lettering goes on the inside.
