Thank you for the video. One question: do you install anything on the end of polycarbonate sheet where it meets the masonry? I can’t figure out if I can leave it like that because there will be flashing tape on top or whether I need end stop bars there too?

Yes, you would install a Snapa Top Wall Flashing to seal over your polycarbonate sheets at the back/top wall. This helps prevent water from running down the wall and creates a proper waterproof flashing. If you were using Alukap XR Anti-dust breather tape on the bottom of the sheets you would also use it on the top. We also have a How-to video about installing the Top Wall Flashing which you may find useful: kzread.info/dash/bejne/lXyuuNCvYrm-ppc.html

Is it possible to install glazing bars and sheets one at a time from underneath ? Im using the snapa glazing bars and my lean to is 4m wide and 2m long

Yes, it would be possible to install your Axiome polycarbonate lean to from beneath, working across sheet by sheet. The challenge is the last polycarbonate sheet however, as you will need to be able to access the roof from above/beside to secure the last glazing bar. As your projection isn't huge you may be able to access from the front for this last panel. Trust that helps?

Hi. How much longer should the polycarbonate and bars be at the cutter end for the rain water to hit gutter?

Hello Richard, good question. It depends on your roof pitch (steeper means less overhang so the water doesn't overshoot) and also how far your gutter is sitting below the End Stop Bar. As a rule of thumb, people tend to aim for 40-50mm overhang for a polycarbonate roof.

Hi. What type of drip trim did you use on this video?

Thank you for your question. We used our Alukap-XR End Stop Bar for sealing the ends of the polycarbonate sheets in this video. The benefits of using this product are that it has a good size down stand for creating a proper drip and also is aluminium for great longevity. How that helps? Here's the link to our video about installing the End Stop Bar: www.clearamber.com/news/108/How-to-Install-ALUKAP-XR-Endstop-Bar-.html

Do you need to use the screw buttons into the polycarbonate? Or is it optional

Thanks Myles, great question. Using polycarbonate fixings alongside the Snapa Glazing Bars is optional. If you have a sensible polycarbonate sheet width and rafter spacing they won’t be required. However, if your sheets are wider or in an exposed location then the Alukap XR Fixing buttons can be used on purlins to reduce the risk of wind uplift. Hope that helps clarify?

Hi. I've got a lean to gazebo 2.5 m by 2.5 m. If I go for two sheets 1250 by 2500 that be ok or should be more smaller sheets? Thanks

Great question! It is always safer to go for more polycarbonate sheets at narrower widths for stronger resistance against rain/snow loading and wind uplift. This also helps towards making your lean to roof last longer. We would rarely suggest going above 1m widths and for thinner thicknesses, like 10mm polycarbonate, we would suggest much narrower than 1m. Hope that helps?

Ultimately, the right sheet width to use depends on the thickness of Axiome® Polycarbonate Sheet that you are installing (plus location/structure type etc.) so please contact our team directly via our website for more specific help: www.clearamber.com/contact/
