I was washing my greenhouse yesterday and was dismayed to see cracks in the outside of the polycarbinate roof  ( One big one right down the length of one pane, outside only, and lots of little one appearing as I was washing others. Also several small holes on the side that dosn`t even get much sun. Soon there will be more uv tape than poly facing the weather. So dissapointing as I`ts only 3 years old this month.  |

Do complain to the manufacturer in case you get something for goodwill.

I would definately want compensation, it should last many years. How old is it?

Well I`m sure you all remember the saga about my cheap greenhouse on the other forum, my 8 X12 BillyOh Rosette with double sliding doors from Gardenbuildingsdirect , the lovely green colour changed to blue after a few months, the panels kept flying out, and the rain poured in around the windows.
It only cost £400 ( I know ! I know ! the price might have been a clue to the quality) and I spent about £100 last year painting it, sealing the window gaps and pannels, and the poly had started to deteriorate even then.
I have, as you sugested Cherry ,sent the company an email and "Kybotech" the owners have sent me a nice reply asking for three pictures so here`s hoping. The pannels are rather larger than the standard so would cost a lot to replace

It looks so tidy in there.
My roofs are all made of the same sort of material, the oldest one has been up for about eight years. I do hope you get something from the supplier, those sheets should not be deteriorating yet.

You must be so proud of your efforts LB it's so well organized too. Are the polycarb panels the original or some that you've since bought and fitted yourself.
Where ever you got them from they should last many years.

They are listening so you should be successful. That is quite bad.

An update : I emailed them three photos of cracks and holes nd they have emailed me back today asking for the measurements of the roof panels so they can try and source replacements sounds too good to be true. Do you really think they will  |
