Thank u very much for sharing this indepth video! I am trying to build a simple patio cover with polycarbonate sheet roofing. I am just not sure which type of polycarbonate sheet wud be ideal as theres few types like clear, grey,multiwall,white etc. May i know what type is yours. I am after the one that gives enough shade when the summer heat is fully on but is not too dark on gloomy days as I will mostly be chilling on it when its nice and hot. Which type wud u recommend. Thank u in advance.

Hi, I’m building a pergola mainly to put my garden furniture underneath for the winter 19ft by 11ft. I’ve got quotes of polycarbonate roofing costing around £500 altogether. So I’ve thought to make a wooden roof with a felt sheet which is much cheaper. Would you recommend this method?

@SujMenon

Жыл бұрын

Frankly, I don't see any issues in using felt roof. Infact garden sheds here all have felt roofs., ie to be precise: OSB3 roof with felt on top, and they last for years.

This is a great video Suj. I have a question about how you handle flashing where the polycarbonate panels meet the wall? Thank you very much for you advice. Long

Looks great Suj. I'm in the process of getting a similar pergola installed but not sure what colour and thickness of polycarbonate to go for. How did you decide this and what did you go for?

@SujMenon

11 ай бұрын

Hi Vishal, colour is a personal choice. Among the 3 available at the time: transparent, white and bronze tint, I went for the bronze tint as I thought it looks best. But then again its an individual choice. For thickness, I spoke to the agent at the glazing shop, and she said for an outside setup like mine, 10mm is more than enough. So that's what I went with. As you probably know, with the increased thickness, the cost of the sheets and other accessories will also go up. And since my pergola is open to the elements, there is no need for thermal efficiency retention etc, which you would get with increased thickness.

Yes absolutely yes yes very good made where

Hello, why did you use smaller sheets? I would like to cover a similar area as you but planning to use a 2.1x3 (X2). Are there any disadvantages in doing this? If my idea is ok, do I need to screw in the middle of each sheets to add more support without adding rafter support?

@SujMenon

2 ай бұрын

Cost wise, I think 600 mm was slightly cheaper. I debated about getting a bigger sheet, but then went for smaller because of the way I did the flashing. With a 2m wide sheet, I assumed it would be difficult to do it in the way I did it. If that's not apblm, then go for the bigger sheet. 2 screws is enough to hold it in place, whether it's 600mm or 2m

Don't think so, but you should have plenty of options in US. Don't think it will be economical to get this from the UK

How noisy is it? I am a bit worried about noise. Do you think that installing 35mm policarbonate would make it less noisier?

@SujMenon

3 ай бұрын

Considering the sides of my pergola are open, all noises will still come through. If you are looking to cover a conservatory or covered structure, 35mm will definitely give better noise isolation from the outside world as it has 3-4 layers inside.
