Determine the UV Protected Side You should know that lexan modular panel or the polycarbonates sheets have only one UV protected side.

This means you are supposed to install that very side facing the sun and not the other side. Therefore, determine which side is UV protected before finally installing the sheet. To do the same is quite easy, as these sheets come with a sticker marking on the UV protected side. In case you install the sheet other way around, it would soon show marks of discolouration. Additionally, the overall lifespan of the sheets and panels would also shorten.

Cut & Drill You are required to cut polycarbonate sheets to match the size of the space where you intend to install them. You can use sharptoothed scissors, saws and shears to do the same. Then comes the drilling, which you must do with utmost precision. Drill holes with the help of screws, which should be wide enough to accommodate expansion of the sheets. This is because polycarbonate sheets expand and contract in response to the change in temperature. If you drill holes keeping this change in mind, you would end up installing the polycarbonate sheets with perfection. Don’t forget to seal the sheet well or else water can penetrate through the sheets when it rains. Additionally, tighten the sheets well to prevent rattling.
