Polycarbonate greenhouse roof techniques
I'm having a roughly 10' 9" x 15' green house built. The roof is going to be a shed style at about 10° angle. The roofing material is going to be 5-wall polycarbonate sheets.
I'm wondering about using glazing tape between the wood purlins (battons?) and the polycarbonate. I've seen in some places that helps to reduce the noise the panels make when the air pressure changes due to wind or opening/closing the greenhouse door. Has anybody used glazing tape?
Do we also use glazing tape for the side cladding/lites? (That is 3-wall polycarbonate?
We've got the washers with the built-in gasket and know to drill the holes 1/16 to 3/32 bigger than the screw size. And we we know to seal the edges of the the panels with breathable tape. Any other tips?
