Small Deck Gets MASSIVE Makeover! - Full Build Time Lapse
What happens here
Install translucent polycarbonate roof panels onto the pergola structure. These panels are typically lightweight and designed to allow natural light through while providing protection from rain and UV rays. Panels are carefully placed over the pergola rafters and secured using specialized fasteners and sealing strips to prevent leaks. The video shows the sheets being unrolled and then fastened down systematically, working from one side to the other. Ensure all panels are tightly connected and sealed to the structure.
Goal: Provide overhead protection and light with translucent roof panels
