The sheets are nice, light weight and seem to be durable, but be aware they are not cut square on the ends (pictures attached) one sheet if measured will be 12' on one side and 12'1/4" on the other. Every sheet I bought was like this and made my perfectly square build look like it was a 1/2" off. Now I have to double work and trim all the ends and cut down on my overhang.

Works Great
I added these to the pergola over our rear deck and it works out perfect. We have some vines that require some sunlight, so the clear roof was a perfect fit. I ended up adding a gutter to one end as well. Overall, I am really please with how it came out.

Easy to install
An employee helped us by showing a project he did, and we were sold, as we were deciding between plastic and metal, the metal ones are 5 week wait, three ended up working out better because they allow light with the same shade as if they were solid so was a nice choice and easy to install

The Suntuf panel system was perfect for putting a roof on my wife's pergola that's used for plant potting and storage. The panels were easy to handle and cut and they also bend. The roof contour was raised in the center and then sloped to each end by 3" in about 5'. That's sufficient to handle any rain and to stop leaves and other debris from building up. The roof project was a total success.

Fantastic!!!!
I had actually purchased and installed panels from a competitor. After less than a week the panels were discolored and so badly warped I was forced to remove them and replaced them with the Suntuf brand. My regret is that I didn’t start with Suntuf from the onset of project. The polycarbonate is flexible, but strong and corrugation is easy to work with. Extremely pleased with quality of materials, pricing and ease of use.

Download the instruction manual from the Suntuf/Palram website before you purchase, read all the instructions carefully, and use their material calculator. Some parts have to be ordered on Home Depot website. Easy to work with and looks great.

This is a VERY labor intensive product as each screw has to be predrilled and my project was 24x16 lean to car port, and we used 500 screws just for the roof panels! Another 300 to put up the plastic supports under it. Use one drill that has a clutch for the screws as they have to be set just right and another drill for pre drilling the hole. You need to use special rubber washer screws for the install (available at HD). I needed a wall connector that is available only thru the HD website, it is made with a 3/8in masonry lip (for brick work) at the top, that as far as I can tell, needs to be cut off so the unit can sit flush against the wall. The instructions and video on line really don't show the closeup of this connection nor how to do it. My friend who is a contractor ended up cutting off this lip, screwing it in first (pre drilling) then putting sticky backed pre flashing on the wall and the connector, then attached a J channel on top of it for the vinyl siding then attached the plastic wall connector flashing and lastly slid the roof panel under the wall connector. Trying to do the wall connector flashing after the whole roof was done seemed dangerous, as working on a sheet of plywood on a 4-12 pitch roof would just slide off the roof. My friend worked from the ground on a ladder thru the roof joists and 2x4 cross members, it was VERY tight and only skinny folks will fit! LOL!
I did most of my roof in white and used 2 clear 12 foot panels like skylights. Looking back now I would not have bothered with the clear as the white is quite translucent and lets in a lot of light. The white stays quite cool under the blazing sun. Make sure you install the panels with the label up as there is a UV protective coating on only the label side and it only works when facing up to the sun.

Just installed the strips, blocks the sun fairly well and seems to be very durable. Waiting for first winds and rain to see how well the clear sheets handle the weather..Easy to install, used cross boards on top of sheets to walk on top while installing and roofing was not damaged .

I love this product, it is very well built, not too heavy, I could manage the roofing process all by myself. The only complaint I have, and I am not sure if it is HD faults...the long label on the side gets off as a charm, very easy. But then, they have a small paper label with the code...again, maybe HD puts that on, well...the time I WASTED to peel those labels off, is more than acceptable. Sometimes I was standing on the roof when I realized I had to take off that label, and it was not comfortable at all. Better use an "easy peel off" material! Or place the paper label on top of the long plastic label that gets off so easy.

Panels look nice but suggested screws have been leaking and the sealing gasket has disintegrated - this has resulted in rot and a lot of maintenance to repair after just two years. Will have to go back and replace screws which have rusted as well as seal them with silicone. Live in wet environment on Maui and these havent done the trick. Hopefully some better sealing screws will become available and suggested with these panels.

Great quality and far outlasts the competitors brand! I used these on my first project 12 years ago and they are still going strong! Built another larger cover 2 years after the first using another brand and they began to crack and leak after only 8 years. I have since replaced them using the Suntuf. Don't waste time and money on lesser quality like I did. BTW, these panels cut very easily using a pare of tin snip scissors.. no saws needed.

Very easy to install and works great on our pergola. Now we can sit outside and enjoy the rains when they come.
One night after we installed it high winds in the 60mph range rolled through our addition and it stood strong.
For the money you just can't beat it!

Though the product works well, be careful. They don't honer their lifetime warranty.
Couple of weeks ago we hat flash flood rain and bit of wind. next day the panels ere on the ground with obvious signs of cracking in the area of the screws. I used the screws Suntuf requires.
I contacted the company at 1-800-999-9459. she said I'm out of luck.

I bought 20 of these two years ago to replace the roof on a poly greenhouse. I cut them with my skill saw down to the 5'6" lengths I needed and had no problems there, no chipping, though it makes a nasty noise. I used the fasteners they recommended (just snugged up, not overtight) and the blocking to keep the ends air tight, no caulk or glue. I gave a full corrugation overlap between sheets and I have no significant leaks. Installation was a breeze though cutting the sheets down to 5'6" certainly helped to make them manageable.
I should have done the walls at the same time but I couldn't bring myself to buy more than just the roof (after all , how much should I spend on growing tomatoes and peppers!) but have regretted it ever since. The walls go on tomorrow, two years of flapping polythene is enough for me! I cut them today and again had no problem with splitting or shattering, use a sharp multi-tooth blade that you would use for laminate or finishing work. I cut 5 panels at a time with ease, it sounds horrible but it leaves a smooth cut. I tried using a cutting blade on an angle grinder to cut five sheets at once but it heats up the cut edges too much and they end up melting together.

GREENHOUSE
WAS THINKING THE PANELS WOULD BE BRITTLE AND CRACK BUT, THEY ARE VERY FLEXIBLE AND EASY TO CUT. I CUT THEM WITH A PAIR OF KITCHEN SIZZORS. EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE GREENHOUSE CAME FROM HOME DEPOT. ROOFING WAS GREAT QUALITY AND I BELIEVE WILL LAST A LONG TIME. MY WIFE LOVES THE GREENHOUSE..

Life Changing.
We live on the Northwest Pacific Coast of Cali, lots of rain and storms in the winter. I just watched how our installation of Suntuf fared during the first huge rainstorm, no leaks! We built a sunroom/breezeway/conservatory to go between the back of the house and the new 10x20 Tuff Shed, and it's enclosed. No sweating, and the sunlight, warmth and dryness are so very welcome! The installation was painstaking....pre-drilling each screw hole, and since we are inundated with salt mist from the ocean, I covered each screw with silicone. The Suntuf site has a list of recommended sealants that are chemically compatible with their product, none that I saw for sale at HD, but I opted for pure silicone and it seems to do the job. Building your structure with enough of a "pitch" is notable, to allow for wind sheer, drainage, and probably to shed things like the pine needles that are falling here from a nearby tree. During the fall of big raindrops; not so much noise at all, we were pleasantly surprised. So far our conservatory is 10+ degrees and more warmer than the outside temps, and the house is warmer overall with this passive heating arrangement built on its back wall.
We have detailed the structure with lengths of a fallen old growth Redwood and some Manzanita and I'm making stained glass windows to go over the door...I'm pretty happy with this! We shall see about longevity. Light, LIGHT, light!!!!
(It's a little pricey btw.)

So far so good
It's only been a month since installing - time will tell whether this product (and the rest of the Suntuf system) is up to the task of dealing with Maine's climate. Installation was a breeze. This is over our front porch, SE exposure. Installed vinyl 1x5 boards on top of the Suntuf and under the drip line of house roof as noise of dripping water was otherwise loud and annoying. So far 5 stars.

Excellent Product
We had installed the product over the deck 12X16 feet deck. The only one problem is that our deck was 8 feet above ground level and so when it rained, the deck get wet, but definitely protects from sun, you can even see the sky.
