haymin 2,465 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Any suggestions on the best place to get it from thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Gain 1,764 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Had it on my lean to/covered pergola, and it goes very brittle after about 5-6 years. Had hailstones come through it, as well as fireworks/rockets shattering it. Eventually replaced it with twin polycorbonate sheets. Been on about 5 years and no signs of wear, Hail and fireworks are no problem. Both products from Wickes. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Wickes have a resin based type corrugated roofing, its pretty thick and good stuff. I've had it up over a year and no problems so far. Its 6ft x 3 foot per sheet at about £17 a sheet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Gain 1,764 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Stuff I used was thin and clear, b*stard to cut and drill as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fireman 10,869 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Stuff I used was thin and clear, b*stard to cut and drill as well. I've used simular on my bird aviaries and found a panel saw the best way to cut them,drilling was easy though Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lenmcharristar 9,734 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Just be careful fellas, if it closes in a run make sure there's plenty of air flow and a place of shade for the dogs in question, as it turns your closed run into a green house like area, myself I'd always opt for non transparent type roofs as shade never killed a dog like a green house would. Just a bit of info. And the thin corrugated stuff is rubbish as stated. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Aiken 253 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 I had corrugated PVC then corrugated bitumen sheet on my chicken run. Waste of money, I ended up with good old fashioned 3" corrugated metal sheet. I managed to get hold of 1.5mm thick sheets, very heavy, but will last a lifetime!

bobcullen79 1,495 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Stuff I used was thin and clear, b*stard to cut and drill as well. Masking tape your cutting line, both sides before cutting. Works... Sharp saw helps too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Works... Sharp saw helps too. Did do mate, but was still getting small chips and cracks. Not too bad really, just put the cut ends up against the wall and lapped it with adhesive flashing. Needed to be clear to let light into the kitchen otherwise it would have been marine ply and mineral felt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had that on a run for about 5 years, when i took it off it was still pretty much like new, just some colour fading. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
haymin 2,465 Posted June 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Here's the run plenty ventilation gets the sun in the morning but shaded there after it was just a thought maybe for the colder weather perhaps ?

Guest Navek Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 I've got plastic coragated sheeting on my avairy and the firm makes it recommended cutting it with a grinder with a cutting disk for cutting metal the disk was about a mm think and it cut through like hot butter... No bouncing the sheet no vibrations no cracks was easiest way I've ever cut it...there at wakes for a 10er. However wicked also do a bitcherman coragated sheet comes in green or black for 20 pound for 6ft by 4 foot thereabouts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
