polycarbonate roofing sheets

mats3

anyone know where to source twin wall polycarbonate roofing sheets? I've seen them used in lean to type roofing in gardens and carports and I understand they are a cheap and easy roofing system if you don't mind how ugly they are - builders merchants I've been on to don't seem to know about them - any ideas where to get them?

Hi
There is a place in Sandyford that does them across from the beacon hotel Sorry don't know the name

B&Q do stock them, I think there 2.4m and 4m lengths. Not the cheapest but do the trick.

- hiya thanks for those replies

- I hadn't tried B&Q, just looked on their website and found only full greenhouses

- come to think of it, I think I remember seeing that plastics manufacturer in Sandyford, never thought to ask if they do retail sales - will ring them,

cheers again

I found the prices in Ireland - big surprise - to be quite high. B&Q do carry the twin wall PC but were out of stock when I was looking and they were very expensive. Wikkes in Limerick stock the sheets and accessories as well and were a bit cheaper than B&Q.

I ended up getting my materials from the UK from these people:
