Corrugated PVC sheets are popular for garden shed roofing and outdoor canopies. A durable solution that provides strength and resistance to moisture and chemicals. On-site tailoring and trimming is simple. Follow these guidelines to ensure professional results.
Safety First: Protect yourself by using professional equipment, keeping your surroundings neat and tidy, and using tools with caution and care.
Place a layer of cardboard or plywood on the workbench before placing the sheets. This will protect the surface from scratches.
Place the PVC panels on your workbench.
Clamp a few sheets together. This will reduce vibrations.
Use a measuring tape to measure the sheet, and make pen marks at each end. Join the marks with a ruler.
Do not rush measuring and marking. Once trimmed, you cannot patch the sheets together.
Secure the PVC sheets to the workbench surface to prevent movement and vibrations.
Support the sheets near the cutting line. You can do this by placing a timber plank on top of the sheets, parallel to the markings.
Cut along the marked pen line. The preferred method is to use a fine-tooth saw that rotates at high speed.
Advance the saw slowly and steadily and do not stop once you have begun. It will ensure a clean, consistent edge.
Remove leftover cuts and scraps from the cutting table.
