    How best to join 2 bits of polycarb

    While doing a site clearance at work look what some nice people dropped off next to the skips! Perfect but how do I join the 2 angles. Nice and FREE

    Think this would work https://www.diy.com/departments/roof...hoC9E8QAvD_BwE and just screw sheets down to timber frame as tight as possible to each other

    Good result there mate.

    If the cut is in a position where you could make a feeding hatch out of it you could just bond some acrylic hinges to the 2 pieces, like what someone did in another thread the other day.

    Clicked your link, saw the word "flashing" and instantly pictured a Koi flashing in my head.....Must be turning into a Koi freak.

    Hahaha jesus don't say things like that. Used to get excited about flashing now I get scared hahahaha. They must have come from a conservatory so all pieces have got an angle but they do fit together I'll get a better picture in day light

    Here is an idea Aj, a piece of plastic about 2 to 3 ins wide or even some polycarbonate but long enough for the join.
    Put some one sided sticky door insulation stuff on the underside of the plastic strip so that it is like a tram line and one strip on each side of the join then screw it down to the timber underneath which should seal ok.

    Like it John so like a piece of window trim. Would look like the roof strips for poly but just at a wrong angle?

    Hard to explain Aj, basically a piece of plastic over the join length ways,then stick some of that door spongy draught excluder underneath so some is on each piece of the poly forming a " U " effect then screw down between the joint,the screws could have a plastic cap on.

    Hope you understand all that mate,heads gone as havnt been well lately.

    if your going to screw it down to a timber frame i'd just use the clear waterproof repair tape on both sides of the poly...

    it's cheap at £7 for 25mtrs, would seal, and be difficult to notice
    plus if it didn't hold up to well over time, you could just peel it off and replace it each year or try something else...

    a little off topic but if you are ever looking for really strong and sticky tape give T-Rex a go, i stuck a thermostat wire probe to the outside of the vat indoors over a year ago and i had a right old job peeling it off today

    I'd second the t rex tape, it's thicker and the adhesive is very strong.

    But less for your money £10 ish for 8 mtrs...think screwfix do it too.

    Thanks Anne, not feeling a lot better though it is only a cough but what a cough,never had anything like it.

    Normally I never get a cold or anything similar but think I caught this from a G /child as they had similar.
    Taken everything including 1/2 bottle of whiskey,maybe should have finished it !!!
