I purchased 3 panels to form a sloped roof over my 4ft x 8 ft storage unit . My condo unit's storage space is an open chain link design located directly over multiple water pipes that sweat from condensation, and gush water around the pipes if someone's appliance water hoses break. After multiple major water episodes and soggy possessions, I decided to try these roofing panels as an alterative to several failing tarps. The tar tps were supported by 1" PVC pipes approximately 18" apart. Although the PVC supported the tarps, water pockets still formed and the waterproof tarps ultimately failed to keep the area underneath dry. I purchased 2 eight foot clear panels that overlap. After placing the PVC pipes through the charin link fencing to form a slope for run off, the roof panels were let on top. Water now drains off of the panels without drenching my possessions! The panels cut very easily with basic scissors (shorting paensl and making special small cuts). I had to curl up the longer the cut parts while completing the full cut, but there were no cracks or problems. I did not have to use a multitool. The panels are lightweight, and fit inside my RAV4 without a problem.

Not good for roofing
Put this stuff on a small 12' x 52" shed and it looked great for a season, yellowed the next then cracked and failed the following winter.

    Don’t waste your money or time!
    I’m in south Texas. Roofing didn’t last quite 2 years! It burned and warped!

      Easy to handle and effective
      We use these to close in the summer home on an Island in the SLR of NNY. It keeps the wind, cold, snow, and ice away from porches, windows and doors. They are easy to handle and stick nicely requiring little space for storage. Evan at $20 they are way cheaper than custom canvas.

        Quick, easy, inexpensive, see-through, rain-deflection. Have Palruf, stay dryer! ( and less costly than Anderson ) yes - porch and door handles work-in-progress.

        Don’t buy in FLORIDA
        This panel it’s a short term solution , it took my 2 years to melt down in Florida sun. It’s comes with 5 y limited useless warranty. Company claim screen mash and decorative straw under it’s responsible for intense heat. I read reviews all customers in souther states have same problems. Stay away.

          DO NOT BUY
          I purchased these 3 days ago and when I installed them, they did not even last 1 day. Can not even get a refund for bad product/quality.

            Absolute junk
            Lasted one season . Burns and cracks. A real waste of money and labor. Should be outlawed. Bent and cracked under the weight of water and snow.

              Waste of money and time.
              After 5 years on the carport roof panels turned brown and brittle. Also the temperature under such roof in sunny day is 20 to 30 degree higher than outside. Waste of money and time. Had to redo the roof.

                Cracks and chips when cutting
                I purchased 7 sheets yesterday for the roof of our greenhouse. I went to the Palruf website for recommendations for cutting, I tried all 3 methods listed on the site, and all 3 methods left me with cracks and chips along the entire edge. Absolute crap.

                  Corrugated clear panels
                  This is a great product. It shed the snow off a low slope roof. Highly recommend. Durable and strong.

                  Works great!
                  Worked great for me. I used it as a cover for my Aquarium, very easy to cut and modify. Very inexpensive, Can be used for many projects.

                  You're paying to add waste to the landfill
                  So impossibly brittle. This is just plastic waste you are paying for both in time and money. I purchased 3 to test out, so glad I did. Low quality waste masked as new material should be outlawed.

                    Lasted 2 years
                    Installed these on my patio (partial shade) about 2 years ago and about 18 months later they started burn out, crack and warp. Had to replace them 2 years after they been installed - complete waste of time and money

                      The product was easy to install on the top of our Pergola and does a great job blocking the elements on a wet day. The corrugated material allow for the water to drain off the roofing, and we are well-pleased with it, along with the Suntuf plastic closure strips. Very user friendly.

                      Burns and cracks where attached to the underlying wood
                      My fiber glass roofing finally gave out after 35 years or more. I had 5 panels to let sunlight into a horse barn. Bought this junk just two years ago and one piece came off in pieces this past weekend. The others are badly burnt where they attach to under lying wood. They are also cracking and will come off on the next windy day. See pictures of this junk. Do not buy. In addition, my corrugated roof measures approximately 2 5/8” from ridge to ridge or valley to valley. The corrugation height it is about ½” from bottom of the valley to the top of the ridge. This stuff does not fit. It measure 3” from ridge to ridge. So it was very hard to fasten down to my 40 year old corrugated steel.

                        I am a licensed general contractor and cant believe anybody would give this more than 1 star. My use for these panels was as a temporary barrier between wood and some excavated dirt so I wasnt too concerned about their condition, BUT, i left a stack of 5 pieces in the yard for one day, mild weather, in the low 70’s. The next day the stack had warped and twisted and even melted together and cracked when trying to seperate them. These junk panels crack far too easily and cannot take a fastener unless you pre-drill a hole. Its unbelievable that these are manufactured and sold as a roofing panel because they couldnt last one full day of mild weather. If you are unfortunate enough to be using this product as intended do not cut them with a circular saw or with a masonary blade, as someone else had suggested. Easiest way is with a pair of tin-snips / sheet metal sheers. Best to avoid this junk. Shame on you Home Depot

                          Just what I needed for a small project.
                          A lot of reviews say they're cheap (they are) and break easily, but I didn't encounter that while working with them. Wanted an inexpensive solution to cover a bunny hutch, to keep them out of the rain. Found them fairly pliable, cut it to size with some tin snips fairly easily, and used a small pilot drill before attaching the sections with small sheet metal screws. I can't say yet for the durability, but if a large branch breaks off and shatters them, at least it will be cheap to replace it. Wouldn't use it on my house, but good fit for small projects.

                            I purchased these panels to cover most of my chicken's run. (Yes, they are spoiled chickens.) They were easy and quick to install. I had some trouble cutting them with a tin snips. They cracked and chipped as they are pretty brittle when cold. I had much better luck cutting them with a saber-saw and abrasive blade. I pre-drilled each hole before screwing them down to prevent cracking. I added a dab of RTV to each screw to make sure they didn't leak. Be careful when laying them out to keep the edges even. It is easy to get them screwed down too tight and it adds a tiny bit to the width. The errors accumulate as you work your way across the roof. Chickens are warm and dry now.

                            I broke it before I got home. But it was still usable. Worked great and lets a lot of light in.

                            This review is based on ease of installation, etc., not on longevity. We've only just installed them as vertical walls on a greenhouse. They are easy to install, have great clarity. Be careful while cutting, as they are easy to crack. I can't say how well they will last, or if they will cloud up after a few months/years in the sun.

                              This material was very lightweight. It is very strong and can flex well until it is cut. I used a tin snip shear to cut the material and it formed cracks along the edge as it was cut. I like the absolute clear, it is very similar to window glass. I was not impressed with how easily it cracks when cut. The final result is very beautiful on my greenhouse/shed.

                              DO NOT BUY It seemed like a good product when screwing the panels down. the screw didn't crack or chip the panel but once you go to cut it, game over! ABSOLUTE TRASH!!! It is so brittle it is impossible to cut. I tried to use a saw, Sharp knife, Industrial shears. Same result. it just shatters when you cut more then 1". Add to that that it fades very bad within in a year of sun exposure. One more thing that was annoying is that the wave is not the normal pattern that has been made for 50 years. So if you are replacing older panels you will need to replace the wave strips below it. I was replacing some 10 year old panels after doing repairs below them. These new ones lasted 6 months before disintegrating.

                                Thermal performance of this product was not satisfactory. Installed against south facing building wall. Heat build up between wall and panel caused orange discoloration and also appeared to deform panel around support beams. They also had points of breakage. After 3 years, we needed to replace them. Pay more for a thermally tolerant material.
