For many gardeners, polycarbonate in a greenhouse deteriorates in just three years..
Although in theory this reliable material should last for 15 years.
We will tell you about three mistakes that lead to the rapid destruction of polycarbonate.
Why polycarbonate deteriorates quickly
The first common mistake is to buy the cheaper one.
Buy high-quality polycarbonate, and it will serve you for the required 12-15 years.
Secondly, you shouldn’t skimp on the greenhouse frame. With a bad frame, even the most expensive polycarbonate will become unusable very quickly.
Thirdly, you can’t just remove snow from polycarbonate. You need to act very carefully so as not to damage the ultraviolet protection layer.
Use a car windshield brush, a plastic scoop or a snow shovel made of monolithic polycarbonate.
