"I had checked out locally
for a rigid cover for the greenhouse without much satisfaction. I
found Sundance Supply's name from the back of a greenhouse book
and I called. My husband gave him the necessary measurements and
we were on the way to my dream greenhouse."
"The polycarbonate arrived
safely and was easy to install."
"The greenhouse stays about
35-40 degrees above the outside temperature without heat on an
overcast day. We feel the polycarbonate helps hold the heat much
better than glass or plastic would. We recently had a severe ice
storm which caused our county to be declared a disaster area, but
the greenhouse remained untouched".

"I promised to send you a
photo of my completed porch/greenhouse project. I started with a
screened-in porch which, because of our Northern Virginia climate,
was usable only six months of the year. After searching for
several months for a cost-effective, do-it-yourself method I was
lucky enough to find your website. There I found the perfect
solution for my project. You were most helpful in making
construction method suggestions and in helping me order the
proper
quantity of
materials.
Our enclosed porch weathered
its first Virginia winter with flying colors. By using it as a
winter greenhouse, heating it on cold nights with a small space
heater, we managed to keep dozens of annual plants that would
otherwise have been lost. I estimate that the cost of the project
will be recovered in just a few years by the savings in not having
to replace our plants every Spring."

These photos are of a bridge
that connects a detached garage to the house. It spans 26 feet and
a small seasonal creek. I attached the white 8mm polycarbonate to
2 inch square metal tubing. I used the "U" channel trim around the
edges to give a finished look. The translucent material acts as a
nice shade against the intense Texas sun. Bob, constructing the
polycarbonate roof was definitely the easiest and most rewarding
phase of this project. It really makes this bridge "FLY". I
appreciate doing business with you, Your website was very
informative and ordering was a breeze.
"At
the time I took these it was 8 degrees with a wind-chill of -13
degrees and had between 16 and 18 inches of snow on the ground,
notice the snow on the roof and leaning up against the sidewall.
What a test of the insulating qualities of the polycarbonate
panels! I am very happy to say that the panels do an outstanding
job. I measured the temperature on the inside wall and it was
maintaining 55 degrees with the above temperature conditions (10
to 20 mph wind gusts). My pea gravel floor stays at about 60
degrees with a maintained inside air temperature of 70 degrees. I
am currently heating with a 1500 watt thermostat controlled
electric heater which runs about a minute and half every 45
minutes." Nathan Green, TexasSee

"We had 17" of snow that week
and our greenhouse fared real well. The roof was so steep the snow
just slid right off." Carol Stevenson, North CarolinaSee
