Gossamer Ground Sheet

[grclarke2000]

Does anyone know where I can purchase the Gossamer (twin pack, 1 mtr x 2.4 mtr) light ground sheet in Australia. The website in America charges a huge shipping cost.

Have you tried sending them a message? In my experience several cottage manufacturers will ship smaller stuff in normal letters (if you agree to take over the risk of uninsured mail.

I have one of those I could sell you.

Thanks, I have now done that, they said they would be soon opening an outlet in Australia, so I will wait.

Thanks for the offer, but will wait for their agent to open here in Australia. I wanted to buy new rather than second hand.

Unused?

Have a chat with Simon at TierGear, I'm sure he could point you in the right direction. Ordered a length of 30denier silnylon for the very same purpose.

Thanks, I will do that

If its unused, is it the "double" pack that Gossamer sell, what size is it and what price you asking and postage?

Just found out Amazon sell the plain white 43gsm tyvek, that's 2/3 the weight of the usual home wrap (at about 65gsm from memory). A 5x1.5m piece will cost AUD 40 shipped. It's not polycro light but still pretty good.

I stand corrected, never to mis-recall the weight of hone wrap again, thanks Strider

Weight is 1.8 oz/sqyd or 61 GSM, either way I was wrong

[Strider]

Google conversion spat out 55gsm. Weird.

Weird indeed 1 yard = 0.9144m, 1 oz = 28.5 grams....

1.8 oz/yd2 = 28.5*1.8/(0.9144^2) = 61 g/m2

I tried google but couldn't get it to give me an answer (usually have better luck with wolframalpha) so I did it the long way above.

[Strider]

My apologies - I was accidentally calculating the linear measurement.

[kanangra]

Mine was unused still in the bag.
