Where to find Tyvek
    #7927610 - 01/24/08 11:38 PM (16 years, 8 days ago)

I've been trying to find a retailer of Tyvek for a while and have been unsuccessful; even Home Depot doesn't carry it. I've tried a few other local hardware store without luck either.

And one other question, I know that tyvek can be found in some envelopes, but I remember reading somewhere that the grade of tyvek used in the mail industry may not as good a filter as the house wrap; fact or fiction?

Thanks in advance.

What do you mean Home Depot doesn't carry it? Yes they do. I have never heard of a Home Depot NOT carrying tyvek. They sell it in big 6 foot tall rolls. Ask the siding guy where the "HomeWrap" is... He should know it as tyvek too (since it says TYVEK all over it,) but ya never know...

But if you're positive they don't have it, I'm sure they know what it is and can order it for you. Or direct you where to buy it.

Postal Tyvek works just fine. People (including me) have been using it successfully for years. You can get it mailed right to your house completely free if you live in the U.S. by going on usps dot com, then look under "Buy stamps and shop", then click "for mailing and shipping", then click "priority mail" and look for the "priority mail envelopes" and it should say Tyvek underneath. Click "order" and follow the directions. You can order up to 800, but the minimum of 10 should be plenty for most people. Yes, shipping is FREE. Now, why would you want to pay for it?

I intentionally didn't do a direct link. That's how the post office gets wise to it and cuts off the supply. :nonono:

What? They're going to shut down the supply of these envelopes to everyone because some people use them in their mushroom grows? That's like saying you can't buy gasoline because some people set fires with it, or no dirt because people grow pot in it.

or they could just realize they are getting lots of hits from www.shroomery.org and end giving them away for free?

Not exactly. The people who sell gas and dirt don't care what you use those products for because they profit from it anyway. The Tyvek envelopes are intended for shipping purposes. When only 800 out of every 1000 envelopes given away aren't being used for their intended purpose and you have links like that showing what some people are using them for.... Well 1+1=2.

yeah but they give them away because they figure you will use them to ship product with them, therefore they make money from it.

its not a big deal either way though.

The link stays.

First of all, anyone who didn't know that you get these envelopes for free in the first place, probably doesn't need 800 free envelopes. Secondly, as I said before the link shows visibly that it is that easy to get free tyvek, shipped to your door no less. Lastly, I went back and looked at the prices of the other products that they offer, and found that there were no prices. I didn't look too hard, but it sure looked like the USPS was awful happy to send you tyvek, cardboard boxes, and all sorts of other crap for free to keep you using them instead of UPS.

Don't use housewrap. Tyvek is a brand name, and housewrap is not going to provide the gas exchange you need for best results.

In addition, don't link to non-vendor sources for products that shroomery vendors carry. That is a very old rule around here. Furthermore, don't link from here to provide a way to misuse government property. Search for tyvek in the sponsor forum. In addition, anyone ordering "Let's Grow Mushrooms" DVD can reply to the order confirmation with the word 'tyvek', and your order will ship in a tyvek envelope via priority mail.

Thanks for removing that second link roadkill. I was working on it last night when shroomery went into 'backup' mode, cutting off access.
