How to make a corrugated plastic roof.
We thank kemlite for allowing us to reprint these installation instructions for their sequentia corrugated roof panels.
Per square foot metal roofing panels only weigh 7 to 1 3 pounds per square foot which allows the panels to be installed over existing roofing materials.
The braces are sawn to match the corrugations and attached to the roof rafters.
Compared to asphalt shingles that weigh an average of 2 5 lbs.
These versatile plastic panels make excellent roofs for greenhouses and decks allowing filtered light through but keeping the elements at bay.
Cut the panels to the desired length.
The light weight of a corrugated metal panel is another advantage.
It comes in 4 by 8 or 10 foot sheets and you install it by screwing it to wooden or plastic braces.
Most panels come up to in.
Plastic is much lighter and easier to work with making it popular with homeowners looking to save money that could be spent hiring professional installation teams.
It s quick easy low cost and you can do it yourself.
This is a fine do it yourself project for anyone with good carpentry skills.
Corrugated fiberglass or pvc roofing which can be translucent or opaque works well for greenhouses sheds and porch additions.
