How to replace pergola polycarbonate sheets?

I had a pergola put up a few years ago by someone who had some left over bits. It's served its purpose but now I'll looking for refresh it.

All panels have the same profile. I'm looking at replacing the clear ones with new, clean ones. The rough dimensions are in the image below. I can't find anything with these dimensions. Does anyone know if they're still available and where to get them?

Hi @smaunsell,

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a perfect match.

The profile is similar to Suntuf Trimdeck, but the measurements are slightly off as the rib height is 25mm.

Unfortunately, it might be a proprietary profile that I am unaware of.

Allow me to tag @Nailbag, @AlanM52 and @Dave-1 to see if they have any ideas.

Hi @smaunsell

My first thought was it was an older Klip-Lok profile, but the combo of super wide 100mm high-profile sections and short flat ones through that idea out of the window.

My suggestion would be to take that drawing and photos to a metal roofing supplies retailer as they will have your best chance in finding the same profile.

Failing that, you could consider using a similar profile to fill the width ensuring the high-ends are under the lip on each side of the solid roof sections. Then get long lengths of a custom bent flashing made up to sit of the top fastened with short sealed self drilling roofing screws.

Hi @smaunsell,

Have you tried to contact that 'someone' person for info about what was used, maybe still has leftovers with sticker info.

I know you want to spruce things up but have you considered giving one of them a good pressure wash to see how it comes up.

My other thought was same as @Nailbag's, find a best fit and post the photos so we can brainstorm.

Cheers

Good Evening @smaunsell

I remember seeing someone with a similar issue as yours a few weeks ago. (might have been you 🙂 )

I think I would change my recomendation to poetentially replace both metal and alsonite sections to create a uniform roof. I saw this as I was extending the height of a mini orb fence today and even thi I had mini orb that I had picked up somewhere along the line, the "waves" of the sheet did not match perfectly. Much like your roofing profile. Even turning the sheets upside down they didnt quiet fit.

So thinking of the effort/cost to find the exact match it may be a worthwhile consideration to chane the lot to a matching (current) system.

This was 10+ years ago. They had some leftovers and used it at my house. So there's nothing left.

I've tried pressure washing but the dirt is essentially inside the polycarbonate. I believe it just happens over time and given that I've had this for 10yrs or so and it was used elsewhere before that it's pretty old. I think I'll just have to bite the bullet and replace the lot.

Yeah I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and replace the lot. I've had it for 10+ years and it was elsewhere before that so I don't like my chances of finding a match.

Hi @smaunsell,

It's a shame, but unfortunately, if you can't find anything to match up with the profile, it might be the only option.

Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to help.
