Installing the polycarbonate.
1. Only neutral silicone is to be used for mounting polycarbonate. Silicone is used between the frame and polycarbonate
on the vertical parts of the roof and walls. The very low weight of polycarbonate requires you to press the sheets firmly
into the silicone to ensure a good glue line. The polycarbonate sheets should be secured with the PVC locking strips (c)
or spring clips. PVC locking strips have the better wind resistance.
2. The polycarbonate is delivered with both ends open. Use the capping bars (s) to seal off the ends.
3. The polycarbonate is treated with UV protection and must therefore be positioned with the text / opal side out. Remove
the plastic protective film from both sides. Mark one side with a felt pen so you don’t get confused.
4. If you need more silicone glue use SIKA “Fix it Fast” sealer. For high wind areas ADOS MS High performance adhesive
sealant is the best choice. More expensive than SIKA, but a lot stronger. Available from Mitre 10 Mega, Bunnings etc.
5. Polycarbonate sheets must not come into contact with the ground to prevent ingress of dirt and moisture between the
walls. Always rest them on cardboard or similar material during construction.
6.
Important:
The polycarbonate greenhouse should be protected against strong winds until the silicone has completely
set.

PVC capping bars (U shaped) are put
over the ends of the sheet (top and bot-
tom) to stop moisture and bugs from
getting into the twin wall portions of the
polycarbonate. Capping bars have the
part number “s” and come in various
lengths. In some places the shape of the
extrusions are designed to cap it for you,
so it does not apply in every case. Doors
and vents for instance. A capping bar
will not fit into an extrusion if it is not
meant to, so it is self -evident.
