The present, invention relates to a highly transparent, biaxially oriented, UV-resistant polyester film which has, at least on one side, a coating that reduces reflection of visible light. The. film of the invention is suitable for the production of energy-saving sheet materials for greenhouses, in particular for cultivation of plants with high light requirement, e.g. tomatoes. The film has specific transparency properties and high UV resistance. The invention further relates to a process for the production of the polyester film, and also to use of the film in greenhouses.

A raised bed garden and sandbox system comprised of rails and connectors, where the rails are connected to each other via a hinge-like system and joined by the insertion of tubular connectors that are circular in cross-section and open at one end to allow the insertion of a framework for a cover. A structure to support a cover is described, consisting of multiple cross-members, where one end of each cross-member is inserted into a connector and the other end of the cross-member is inserted into the opposite connector. An alternative design for a structure to support a cover is described, where for each cross-member one end is inserted into a connector and the other end is inserted into a central hub. A pattern is described to ensure that the raised bed garden or sandbox is arranged into a regular polygon. A heating element consisting of an electrical resistor arranged in a plane is described, as well as an planar insulator sized to fit the raised bed garden. An improvement in the design of a blow-molded rail provides higher quality and shorter cycle time by forming a partial bushing in the male end of the rail instead of a full bushing.

The invention relates to biaxially oriented, UV-stabilized polyester films incorporating silicon dioxide particles as light-scattering particles and a UV stabilizer; a process for producing the same and to use thereof in greenhouse blinds. The invention particularly relates to single- or multilayer polyester film with transparency from 70 to 92 %, where: the film includes at least 1.0% by weight to at most 2.5% by weight of SiO.sub.2, with the d.sub.50 value of these SiO.sub.2 particles ranging from 3 to 9 μm, the SV value of the film is at least 700, the scattering factor SF of the film is at least 2 and not more than 8, the haze of the film is from 60 to 95%, and the clarity of the film is from 15 to 40%; and all of the external layers comprise at least 0.3 % by weight of an organic UV stabilizer.
