For many gardeners, the polycarbonate in their greenhouses deteriorates in just three years.

Although in theory this reliable material should last for 15 years.

We will tell you about three mistakes that lead to the rapid destruction of polycarbonate.

Why does polycarbonate deteriorate quickly?

The first common mistake is to buy the cheaper one.

Buy quality polycarbonate and it will serve you for the required 12-15 years.

Secondly, you shouldn't skimp on the greenhouse frame. With a bad frame, even the most expensive polycarbonate will become unusable very quickly.

Thirdly, you can't just remove snow from polycarbonate. You need to act very carefully so as not to damage the ultraviolet protection layer.

Use a windshield brush, a plastic shovel or a solid polycarbonate snow shovel.
