5 sheets of polycarbonate

[alldigging]

Oo that looks like somethign that could be cobbled together - or found on ebay!

Just going by this BigM
"What would you do with 5 sheets of polycarbonate roofing?
It's 1cm cube single layer sheets 8x3ft. "

Apologies..........it was 16mm triple wall that I used.................like this

[veggiechicken]

I have some twinwall here that I'm taking back to the other place for the GH roof - but I've no idea how thick that is - I suppose about half the thickness of yours
But only AD can tell us what she has

I will take a photo tomorrow - I am fairly certain its 1cm cube cell stuff in a single layer though. I could be wrong!
I carried it home 2 sheets at a time and then someone I knew gave me a lift with the last one!

[veggiechicken]

So does that make it twin wall?

[alldigging]

erm I spose that means it has two sides ... erm yes I spose so.

looked at the pic on wickes. Yes twinwall...

[veggiechicken]

Everything has 2 sides (though you can bet some sm@rt @rse will come along and tell me about summat that doesn't)

[Bigmallly]

How many sides does a backside have?................

What about a 12 ft long lean to greenhouse against a wall or fence?

If you stand them up end on, stood out from a fence, it will give you idea of size. Fix batons at right angles to the ridges around 6 inches in from each end, build your bottom up a bit (2ft?) and pitch over towards the fence. If you use roof fixing washers between the screws and polycarbonate they will self seal and protect against rain. All you have to do now is windproof the ends. You can either build up with wood, or use a couple of the polycarb sheets screwed on to a frame.

Basically a cheap greenhouse, if you have a wall or fence available

Don't know but that's a very Smart @rse you've got

what do u use to cut through the double polycarbonate - the thick kind? tried a saw and a stanley knife to no avail. my mum has two big sheets off her conservatory roof but too big to fit into my car. if i can cut them down a bit they will be great

[Potstubsdustbins]

Twin wall polycarbonate is usually cut with a fine tooth wood saw, holding the saw at a shallow angle so as not to damage the sheeting.

You can use a stanley knife but fit a new blade and use a straight edge, cut one side turn over the sheet and make tour opposite cut.
