Thanks. Im considering your Stormproof PVC or your Polycarbonates to replace my car port roof. Whilst the theory looks easy, daft question, but with a 3m slope run, after fitting the sheets, how do you access the top wall to then fit the flashing, given you can't walk on them? Any pointers appreciated. Thank you
Great question, the most common way of installing the Top Wall Flashing is by using a crawling board rested across the roof, to spread the load. This works best on a polycarbonate roof where the crawling boards would sit on top of the glazing bars. For Corrugated sheets, it is best to install the roof flashing as you go along. As each sheet is overlapped secure the Top Wall Flashing up to that point. Always remember to take the necessary precautions when working at heights. Hope that helps?
Thanks very much for response, I wasn’t aware they were weight bearing as you describe. Just bought Corramet for my shed roof. Look forward to seeing it fitted 👍. Thanks
Thanks, you can either use our Securbond Flashing Tape or Securbond Silicone Sealant to complete the final step of sealing of the Top Wall Flashing. For this video we choose to go down the polycarbonate sealant route, however, our Video Team may run a future video on the flashing tape alternative option.
True - the exact fixing you should use depends on your wall substrate hence that step is indicative! Follow the exact same procedure for installing the Top Wall Flashing for Polycarbonate Roofing Sheets and tweak the single fixing step to suit. For example, you will need to pre-drill the wall when using wall plugs.

You didn't use the tape?
