    In all due respect guys but this won't last. Our new Pergola is 20 x 14 that abutts the house. Instead of highly fragile polycarbonate we opted for a custom made 21 x 15 x 1/2" FULL SHEET plexiglass with a UV protection film ( discoloration ). Our drainage pitch from front to back was one inch with 16" OC shims placed/secured every 4 ft. with a 6" overhang for runoff. Used 1 1/2 inch galvanized screws with rubber grommet type washers to secure the panel to the 2 x 2's. We also used RAINX on the exposed side to repel any post rain water stains.
    We spent more money for the full sheet of plexiglass but in the long run, it was worth the investment. Still looks like new after 3 years! We're happy!!

    Protect the furniture, but not the house? Wow! That water will ruin the wall and the foundation. You guys should have insisted that he reconsider that, because your names will be tied to the problem it's going to create. In fact, you guys could have created a pitch, so the water would run away from the house. Could've added a row of like 2x4, followed by a 2x3, then 2x2, to a 1x2 and so on.

I want one like this for my future home...either a tiny home, shipping container home, park model home or cabin home (not sure yet what my home is going to be) and the only thing I want different is to have the pergola to be slightly slanted so that rain water can run to the outside and not pool up on the clear roof.

    There is polycarbonate that is used on buildings, come in a roll. I've had it on a roof deck in the Philippines 15 plus years, no breakdown. The material is attached with a rubber grommet on the bottom and silicone on the top of the fastener. The silicone has to be checked every 3-6 months but no other problems such as cracking, discoloration. My deck design has held up to years of typhoons and rainy seasons. Let us know how long this lasts as I think it might be a couple years of life, similar to a good tarp system.
