Does anyone know where I can buy polycarbonate panels for the roof of our porch? The existing ones need replacing & Leroy Merlin doesn't stock anything long enough. (I need 3.3m long) It's the square section type, the same as this.
3.3m doesn't sound like a size you'll find anywhere in the DIY sector.
Brico Depot have it but only 1m x 3m, €50 or thereabouts.

I looked at Brico depot, can you order online from there? I couldn't see if you were able check they are in stock. It's a long way to go for me if they haven't got them in stock.

Do you have a Cons y Decor near you? Just wonder if they stock it also?
I agree with the other posters, 3.3M is an odd length these days and I think you may struggle to get it from a DIY shop in one piece. That said, I do not know for sure!
You could always ask any builders in the area if they know who will stock it?

I can find 4m lengths, but they're all to thick at that length, it needs to be 6mm thick. I can just about get away with a 3m length I'll have to put a joint up under the eves.

How thick are the 4M lengths? I guess they are thicker due to the need to retain some stability over the length?!

16mm & 32mm, I assume the same as you it's for rigidity, although our roof only has a 750mm span between supports along the length.
