  • @74_Green
    @74_Green 6 років тому +141

    COLIN....is see 2 clear problems here. Firstly you should have used rubber/nylon washers on top of the Plexy panels to stop any water ingress . Secondly, and most definitely the more serious problem...you have actually made something useful!!!! xD Great work as usual.

    • @50crowley
      @50crowley 6 років тому +4

      Yah, that would have probably been a good idea. Though I don't think he's THAT concerned about water infiltration given that is an outdoor space. He just wants to be able to assemble things outside without getting rained on.
      Any water leaking through the plexi will be minuscule, and mold isn't really an issue since it's not a complex layered assembly that could trap moisture.

    • @74_Green
      @74_Green 6 років тому +1

      The usage of the nylon washers was merely a leader to the main point i.e something useful! xD :)

    • @kirkc9643
      @kirkc9643 6 років тому +1

      No need, the zinc plated fixings and the black steel will be a rusted mess in no time. You could see the bearings had started to rust before the thing was even fitted.
      Always use galvanised or stainless steel fixings outside (whichever is most suitable for the materials you're fixing). And use galvanised steel and lots of cold gal paint if you don't like the rusted look and the stains that go with it.

    Great project and nice upgrade of the whole roof! 👍
    Want a tip? Make some mechanical (a bolt) stops besides the end switches, that way the switch don't break over time. Between switching in end position and the roof stopping, there is some time and mechanical load on the switches. By making a mechanical stop, you protect your switches. 😀

    Mr. Furze, please consider the installation of a subterranean thermal heat exchanger. In England one must excavate probably ten feet plus or minus, but if anyone can do it, it is YOU. Besides, it will save you money when winter comes and if your summers are too long, it will cool your house. All you need to do is plug it into a heat exchanger and viola. THEN and only then consider solar.
