I'm building a greenhouse with polycarbonate sheets. Would I be able to tape the edges and then adhere those taped edges with 100% silicone to keep it leakproof? Would I even need the tape if I'm planning to use the silicone? Thanks in advance!

@@mariemariemarie94 I put silicone along the tiny gap between the side of the first sheet only on the left side where it meets the wall of the next door building then I used something I found on Kijiji for cheap called GAF weather watch leak barrier it's peel and stick for roofing it's around 3 feet wide the roll so I had to cut it to around 6 inches by the length I needed and put it on tight so 4 inch was on the wall and 2 inch on the sheet. It's black so you will see it but the wall is black and I painted the side cap of the sheet black so you don't notice it just looks like a small border but only really see it if you know it's there.. havnt had water come threw or trickle down the wall once yet and we had a few intense rainfalls this not so great summer in Ontario. Lots of wind too but so far so good. It's 90$ at home Depot but you get a huge roll 36" x 50' so I paid 40 on Kijiji for almost full roll. Cut my 6inch by 12 feet and one for backup then re sold the remaining roll for 55 online. Can show photos if you wish. I only needed to do the one wall so it wasn't too hard but if you had multiple spots it still seams doable worked for me so far fingers crossed lol :)

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 would like to say that it doesn't take long (less than 2 years on mine) and the adhesive on the tape lets go.So if the edge is up inside a channel, that's not a big deal but if the edge isn't trapped inside a channel it IMO is then a problem as the open ends are exposed to airflow, insects dust etc.

This is my opinion also...I'm in the process of fitting my roof and I can't decide whether to fit breather tape on both ends?? Otherwise your going to get a build up of condensation as there is no airflow.... I'm unsure what to do?? They all say solid one end only🤔😩
@131277stefan Жыл бұрын
@@lukestone8592 the lower end being breathable means wet air can enter and condensate, leaving spots, in case the panels are cooler than outside air (at night). That's why solar panels (thermal) are best breathable only on top.

Escape not excape. Stand behind the sheet for more visibility. A better mic or fixing audio in editing would also help. I would prioritize these over synchronizing your voices. Hope this helps.

Feedback for AmeriLux: having two product stickers on every piece is overkill, and they are a giant pain in the ass to remove and leave really ugly residue. Use better stickers. Removing the stickers from six pieces took me almost as long as installing the six pieces.

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 Жыл бұрын
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.
