Installation Procedure

1. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of debris. 2. Accurately mark and cut the polycarbonate sheet to the desired dimensions using appropriate tools (e.g., circular saw with fine-tooth blade). 3. Securely fasten the sheet using corrosion-resistant hardware, utilizing pre-drilled holes with slight oversizing to accommodate thermal expansion.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Drilling holes too close to the edge, compromising structural integrity.Maintain a minimum edge distance of at least 2 times the hole diameter when drilling.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracking.Use washers and tighten fasteners until snug, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction.
