Installing Multiwall Polycarbonate: Drilling and Fastening Tips

[@rodbaker5782]

Building a greenhouse with polycarbonate sheets. Thanks for the tips. How about a demo of adding H and I channels and tape. Thanks again. Rod

Arrived while searching for smething else, stayed for the sheer charm I have no doubt these ladies are more than capable, but the presentation was similar to a 7 year old's christmas play, with each stage learnt by rote (I say this, I pause, then you say that - use prop as required) . I'm happy with that, it was vey enjoyable and provided valuable informaton. I'm not going to be a customer, I'm outside of the catchment area. No questions; thank you for the effort; no sarcasm. Very nice. Thank you.

I was looking for help with the H channels. For this layperson they are at best difficult on an 8' vertical sheet on the wall of a greenhouse.

When you say do NOT drill within 1.5 inches of the side, do you mean the outer edge of the hole can be right at the 1.5 inch measurement? And because the panel is not always cut perfectly to the edge of a flute, could you just tell me how many flutes i should count in from the side for a hole? Thanks for all your videos!

[@paulmaxwell8851]

It's not that critical. About 1.5 inches from the edge. As to where the flutes are, again, it's not that critical. 'About' is close enough.

What do I do if there is no sticker or marking that identifies the UV protected side?

[@Charles2181]

I had the same question, here is the response that I received from the company, "You can determine which side has the UV by applying a small drop of Iodine on either side. Iodine will stick to the side with the dripgaurd (the side you want facing down), and the iodine will wipe off the side with UV (the side you want up towards the sun). Unfortunately the Iodine test is the only way to determine which side is which after the masking is removed." Josephine Birkholz | Customer Relations Manager - AmeriLux International

Why not include the perimeter aluminum frames instead of fastening through the panel? Does fastening through the panels void the warranty?

[@pragnayroofings6436]

Multiwall is break able or unbrekaable..

[@konstantine381]

Correct drill bit? Never heard of them before

I'd love to have been able to watch the entire video, but the quality is soo poor. We need to see clearly when the camera zooms in, and lapel mics take away the echo with the sound.

You may want to increase the picture quality of the video in your KZbin settings. I have to do this frequently when watching videos on my phone.

[@elsplace896]

Still don't know what type screw to use.

[@12oldman]

Wow, you were great before you started drilling then perpendicular went out the window.

when buying the MultiLite screws from Menards which has a description: "MultiLite two-inch screws are to be used with a wood frames only. It can be used with 16-millimeter MultiLite, CoverLite, PVCLite, PVCLite Plus, and FiberLite. This screw features an automatic pre-drilling expansion hole and a 1/4-inch hex head with a neoprene washer." So does this you don't need to predrill using your screws?

[@Tonisuperfly]

She said to pre-drill the holes 1/16th larger than the fastener, to allow for expansion and contraction around the 2:49 min mark
