Z on Aug 31, 2015I'm not sure of the type of plastic roofing you mentioned used on conservatories, but the only type I can think of is corrugated clear plastic roofing. In the USA it costs under $25.00 a 2 x 8 foot sheet. http://st.hzcdn.com/fimgs/661113a405b6de31_7807-w228-h228-b0-p0--home-design.jpgHelpful Reply

Geraldine on Sep 01, 2015I'm presently having our front porch, which has a pergola, winterized. There are many covering for the roof that can be applied and we are also having the whole porch screened and with special winter coverings, which can be removed in the spring. We have strong winds and snow in our area, so this will help eliminate having to keep the entrance shovelled. Home Depot and Rona has many ideas for such a project.

B. Enne on Sep 12, 2015Polycarbonate or corrugated plastic?? Idk if that is to what you are referring when you say conservatory plastic... Most hardware/ big box stores can order some type. Something like these (for pics only, I don't know these companies): http://www.mcmahons.ie/marvec-corrugated-sheet-6ft-8-3-608mm.html http://ulrik-von-darkhorse.deviantart.com/art/corrugated-plastic-271420133Helpful Reply
