Transforming Your Shed With Corrugated Polycarbonate Sheets - Tuflite Polymers

Sheds today are no more a dumping ground or storage space filled with unused items, old bikes, and spider webs. People are keeping their sheds clean and tidy, revived to make it a space where you can spend some alone time, and entertain friends when they’re over at your place. Some may even use it as an office space where some privacy is required for any kind of important work. 

A shed can thus prove to be a multi-purpose space for all. If you have a shed, but aren’t using it for any such practice, it’s time you understand the importance of that extra space you have, and transform it right away! Here are two quick and easy ways to upgrade your old shed to make it a purposeful area – paint and roofing.

Paint

One of the easiest and very common ways of transforming an old space into a stylish new area is by adding on a layer of fresh paint. Choose a subtle colour that goes well for every kind of purpose; whether you want to make it a play area for children, a party place, an office cabin, or a place to relax in the evening with your favourite book and snacks.

Roofing

Your shed probably has a worn out roof. It may be damaged, cracked, broken, or leaking. Whatever it may be, you need to repair or replace it immediately. And, we suggest that instead of repairing your roof, you replace it entirely. It will not only keep you away from the hassles of keeping track of the repairs, but will also bring a completely new look to your shed. Add a roof that is strong, durable, waterproof, and weatherproof too. Polycarbonate is one such material that can offer all these benefits and a lot more. And, out of the many variations of polycarbonates available, corrugated polycarbonates are simply the best. Corrugated polycarbonates can be used for the most creative applications !

Installing corrugated polycarbonate roofs

If you plan on installing a corrugated polycarbonate roof, here is the step-by-step guide on installing these sheets the right way.

Step 1 – Measure the width and length of the shed you want to install.

Step 2 – Install the sheet on one side of the shed, in a way that the sheet lays vertically on the roof so that the rain water can rundown the troughs.

Step 3 – Hammer nails through the raised bends, and not the troughs, ensuring that the sheet overhangs the sides of the roof by on raised bend.

Step 4 – Install the remaining sheets by overlapping each sheet with a minimum of two raised bends, and fixing them with the help of nails. But, when you install the last sheet at the end, you will need to overlap it by more than two raised bends.

Step 5 – Fold the overhang that you left at the sides of the roof, and nail them down.

Step 6 – Install roof ridges onto the ridge of the roof by overlapping them by a minimum of 22 cm, and nailing them down at every two raised bends.

Done! You’re ready with a brand new durable roof. As you can see, polycarbonate is so easy to install that it can be taken up as a Do-It-Yourself project. You may not need any professionals to come and install the roof for you. But yes, you will definitely need professionals to provide you with the right corrugated sheets.
