Did you use a dektite for that down pipe coming through the roofing? Also did you bother with any flashing since the top edge is under a soffit?
@sunnysidenz 6 сағат бұрын
Hi there. Yes I did use a Dektite on the pipe. I didn't use an apron flashing at the top edge as there wasn't enough room. I could have used a back channel flashing, but I opted for putting foam infill in-between the sheets and the soffit. This has stopped any water or leaves from going up and over that edge. It's a closed cell foam so is watertight, as long as it's held tight enough between the sheets and soffit. Thanks, Kurt.

where are your closer strips? Don't just use tape!
@sunnysidenz 7 күн бұрын
I have foam infill strips up the top, in between the soffit and the top of the sheet to stop water being blown back. You don't need to use them anywhere else on an open structure. The only other place you might use them is down the bottom, if you're enclosing the sides and want to stop water and debris coming in the gaps. But if the sides are open then there's no point.

Thanks Kurt. Appreciate the video. Any tips for cutting long lengths, say 2400mm?
@sunnysidenz 26 күн бұрын
No worries Andrew. It can get quite tricky with longer lengths. First thing is you definitely need to clamp the straight edge down, it's too hard to hold at that length. If it's Twinwall you're cutting, a knife will still be fairly easy. If it's Custom Glaze or acrylic, then using a circular saw will be easier. I don't have a video for that (yet), but there are a few on KZfaq. The finer the blade the better, and I find setting it on a shallow cut works well. You can also use a jigsaw. Or even a handsaw if necessary, it just takes a while. Regards, Kurt.

Thanks! Just trying to complete a video to release soon, and I've been trying to find the plastic screw caps I used to install my multiwall-honeycomb 8mm polycarbonate sheets, (with the rubber donut that goes under them) But can't find them anywhere!! I hope I can find these metal screws with neoprene and washers with neoprene tomorrow... Do you recommend a special screw for this or NOT recommend a particular screw, like zink or stainless? also how big should the expansion hole be? I'm having this crackling noise in my gazebo, you can watch my video to see what im talking about. when its sunny or sunny and windy, the crackling is bad, its not super super bad like ive seen in some videos, but id like it to be 100% quiet. I'm hoping its just the screws, but im also reading it might be because I didn't put anything like a tape between my polycarbonate sheets and my purlins. Could that be it? I know theres a few screws that are on there too tight, and I know I made the screw holes the same size as the screws, so these are the two things I'm trying to tackle and fix before releasing my polycarbonate roofing video to show people what NOT TO DO. Thanks for your help. Also, if you wanna be featured in my video as the expert and give me some pointers or recommendations, I'd be happy to discuss!
@sunnysidenz Ай бұрын
Hi Mateo :) Hopefully you found some suitable screws for the multiwall. You need something with a large metal washer and then a neoprene washer underneath. And since it's outside it needs to be either galvanized or stainless. Either one is fine. Stainless will last longer, but galvanized will last longer than the sheets anyway. In terms of cracking, there are a number of causes. One of them will definitely be the screws not having an expansion hole. You'll need to drill a 12mm expansion hole first (about half an inch). Also, the screws may be too tight. The second thing might be no room for expansion in the joiner. Is there a bit of a gap for the sheets to move in that joiner? Happy to help out on one of your videos :) I'll DM you.

I'm looking to replace a clear corrugated pvc roof. The timbers are already installed but not to vertically every 4ft however there are horizontal latts going across so can the multiwall just be fitted onto the latts?
@sunnysidenz Ай бұрын
Hi there. Yes, generally it can be fitted directly on to the horizontal purlins, as long as the joiners that you're using are suitable for that. It should show in the installation instructions for your system whether it's ok to only be supported on the purlins (depending on how far apart they are - usually around 800mm 32in or so). Thanks, Kurt.

Hi there, generally you don't need to cover the ends of the joiners. However if the top end is exposed (e.g. not under a flashing) then you could put some sealant in there. Or if you're in a very dusty environment you could put sealant or tape on both ends of the joiner. Thanks, Kurt.

Hi - I noticed you were kneeling on the panels. I was not aware they were strong enough to support a man’s weight. It won’t crush the channels in the panels to kneel on them while using the rubber mallet?

Hi there, good spotting. Ideally you wouldn't kneel on it, but because I've used it for some time I know how much weight I can put on it. Too much weight, especially on the point of the knee, and you will crush the channels. Best practice would be to use a drop sheet and plank on top if you need to put weight on it :)

Hi there, thanks for the vid, the spacings between the rafters you mention need to be 640mm, is this centre to centre, inside or outside dimension? Cheers
@sunnysidenz 3 ай бұрын
Hi there, no worries. It depends on the width of the sheet, and the inside width of the joiner. E.g. if your sheets are 610mm wide, and you allow a 30mm gap for the joiner, then you'd have 640mm spacings centre to centre. There's a diagram here that may help: sunnyside.co.nz/product/twinwall-polycarbonate-roofing/ Thanks, Kurt.
@goodtimes7383 3 ай бұрын
Hey mate good vid. I have another reason to add from experience 😅 I have come looking for answers. The wind comes directly into my installed sheets and, in the areas where one sheet overlaps with another sheet, causes them to clatter against each other. What do you recommend to stop this? My first thought was to put some silicone in the ends but am hopeful of a less permanent solution. Cheers.
@sunnysidenz 3 ай бұрын
Hi there, thanks for the additional cause! There can be a couple of reasons for this. Is that the direction the wind normally comes from? If so, you may need to overlap the sheets the other way (e.g. the sheet that's under, put that one over top), i.e. so the wind blows over top of the overlap (not under the overlap). It may also be that your purlins aren't close enough together (and therefore your screw lines), allowing the sheet to flex too much between screws. If that doesn't fix it, there was a product called lap tape that was sticky on both sides. And it would stick the overlaps of the sheets to each other. However this was more trouble than it's worth as eventually it would get sediment and dirt stuck to it as well. Some people have also put noise stop tape down the overlapping edge, to minimise the rattling. I hope that helps? Cheers, Kurt.

@sunnysidenz 3 ай бұрын
Ah that's a shame, there's no easy way to fix it. It would be good if you could flip the sheet over but most sheets only have UV protection on one side, so that would expose the unprotected side. You can't glue or silicone as it looks bad and will eventually work loose. Your best option is to put some screws in where he's drilled the holes and hopefully the washer is sealed enough that it doesn't leak. Make sure the hole is big enough to allow for expansion too. All the best with it!

Hi there, our H snap joiners are designed to be screwed through the bottom, into the rafter. Then you put the sheets on and then snap the top part of the H joiner on. If the sheets are 1200mm wide, they will also need to be screwed through the sheets into the rafter that goes under the middle of the sheet. More info here: twinwall.co.nz/ Thanks, Kurt.

Hi there, no worries :) Yes you can absolutely use wider sheets. I'd normally use 1220mm but I happened to have some 610mm that I needed to use. If you use 1220mm (or wider) you need rafters at around 600-650mm apart. So some of these will be in the middle of the sheet. In which case you use the Twinwall fasteners to fasten the sheet onto the rafter (drilling an expansion hole first). Hope that helps! Kurt.
