green house panels.polycarbonate
Thanks cat, yup kitten hit the I pad. The green house panels are the same size as most sheet rock panels. They are double wall construction looking a lot like reed glass. I’ve seen fiberglass panels sag and trap water.
Mine did the same thing and we have tried everything to seal it. We are going to replace with tin.
All those plastic type panels are made to shrink and expand. No way to seal them that we have fomind.
The problem is that you want the light so there are not too many products out there that can give you the light and be sturdy enough. Maybe the previous stuff was not installed correctly. You can buy any length you need and if you overlap at the sides, installing with the correct screws you should not have a problem for many years to come. I have these panels on my greenhouse and they survive lots of snow and cold winters.
