   I've gotten it from an insulation company that did conditioned crawls.How much are you going to use the crawlspace, though? If it's not walkable, I wouldn't waste the money on the heavy stuff. Wait til the trades are done, put down a couple of layers of 6mil with tyvek tape.http://www.tvwsolar.com

   I went down to the lobby

   To make a small call out.

   A pretty dancing girl was there,

   And she began to shout,

   "Go on back to see the gypsy.

   He can move you from the rear,

   Drive you from your fear,

   Bring you through the mirror.

   He did it in Las Vegas,

   And he can do it here."

   I agree. If you're really worried you can through some pea gravel down there. it will soften up an impacts that may cut the plastic.

   I've used a product called Tu-Tuff - I think I have the spelling right.  One advantage to it is that regular tape and glue - like construction adhesive sticks well to it - unlike regular 6 mil poly which seems almost greezy...   Tu-tuff is a lot more $ than regular poly - I'm thinking it was around $150 a 12' roll but that was several years ago.

   Stego industries has 10 and 15 mil. I used the 10 mil and it's pretty tough but probably won't stand up to a whole lot of abuse.
   I found it at White Cap

   Thanks, all.  I have heard of Tu-Tuff, and one website I came across suggested that 6-mil poly has only a 5-10-year life span.  I guess I'm still unsure if I'll have an air handler/horizontal furnace in the crawl or in the attic.  If it's in the attic, then I probably don't need premium stuff.  This is going in under an existing house, so pea gravel isn't an option.  A good bit of the crawl is only 2 feet deep, so moving around in it isn't so easy.  I suppose I could protect it with some sheets of cardboard when I'm working and just slide them around.  I'd remove them of course when done.

   I just did a crawlspace line for someone a few months ago. Mold and and standing water. Ordered the liner from this company:http://www.crawlspaceinfo.com/Catalog_Home.htmlthe Existing poly barrier was shredded. I regraded some and raked all the gravel to the sides (not pea gravel). Used 12 Mil Dryspace and anchored it to the wall with Sikkens poly adhesive instead of the tape they sell. 12mill was pretty thick but not thick enough to used it as a storage space.
