If you’re going to cut multiple sheets what I did is use a laminate blade and turned it to the reverse side. Circular saw and went really slow, worked great, I cut 5 at a time. Obviously a plastic blade would be best but I couldn’t find one so reversing the saw blade worked for me.

Suntuf printed instructions indicate a silicone sealant is needed but it was not shown in this video. Is sealant optional?

How do you water seal wall side?

So its interesting how none of the videos including this one do not show the pre drilling. Why? Because its incredibly time consuming and I mean time consuming and depending on where you chose to do it dangerous. Right now I'm installing the very ones in this video. Here's what I'm learning , if you decide to pre drill with the sheets on the roofing, it's dangerous because you're either on a ladder applying force to areas you have to reach out to. If you decide to get on the roofing structure, well that's enough said. Now if you get the enclosures suntuf sells that's even more pre drill time because if you go through the plastic bracket with the 1/4 inch drill bit the hole is too big for the bolt now and you're sol. So you either mark the hole area, pull it down and drill then put it back up or do what I was describing earlier. So it can be dangerous and very time consuming to get these panels up correctly. We really should be better youtube stewards of what we put in our community.

I cant do it myself. How much will I pay someone for labor only to replace only 2 of the sheets? I am here in Sydney.

Ridiculous, you can buy the panels at homedepot but you can't buy any of the finishing parts, like roof caps and flashing. Deal breaker.

Yes, spend $1500 for the plastic roof, edges then some kid hits a foul ball and it lands on top of it and cracks it.

Why is this product made so flimsy, you can't walk on it.

This video is worthless, especially from Em manufacturer they don’t go into enough detail on the length of the screws
