Technical specifications

4 models and 45 sizes per model available

Ground anchors

We use 1/4-inch-thick aged structural aluminum for its strength and durability. Aluminum also has the advantage of not rusting, unlike steel bases.

Aluminium

We use aluminum with a thickness of 1/8 to 3/16 inch, depending on the part. The joints (profiles) are designed with an internal gutter system to facilitate water drainage and give the polycarbonate sufficient space to expand.

Polycarbonate sheet

A material with many advantages

  • Creates a comfortable, temperate space
  • Lightweight material for easy handling and installation
  • Easy to cut, requiring only a jigsaw with a suitable blade
  • Extremely sturdy and impact-resistant
  • Translucent to let the light through
  • R2.5 insulation

We use hollow-chambered polycarbonate sheets with a thickness of 16 mm (5/8 inch). The panels are smoked (translucent) and 5-walled.

Available sizes

(Many other sizes available. Sold in multiples of 2 feet.)
