Anyone know the best way of cutting the large triple walled Polycarbonate
sheets? I am thinking of making a lean too shade greenhouse using this to
help with heat loss in winter. Roof is easy as I have made the base so its
whole sheets in each direction but sides will obviously have some funny
shapes and I need to check how easy it is to work with.


The Wickes info sheet says it all.

I have used that very stuff on the veranda I put across the back of the
house in 2006.

I had to cut round a down pipe. Used a fine blade in a Black and Decker Jig
Saw and an ordinary pocket knife for the final trim.

NOTHING at all to be frightened of. Fantastic material to work with.

VERY highly recommended
