The Velcro zips apart quite easily. Perhaps it would tear thin polyethylene. You can get throw-away polyethylene drop cloths at .3 mil--very thin and easily torn. I got the thickest I could find, 6 mil, which is used to cover lumber or heavy equipment. Once the glue is pressed in hard on the Velcro, trying to remove it will tear even the 6 mil polyethylene. But I don't plan to remove it. So long as one is just unzipping it, it presents no danger of tearing the thick sheeting.
