What Can Go Wrong With Clear Vinyl
We believe in transparency. Here's what you should know about clear vinyl enclosures before you buy - and how we've solved these challenges.
The Challenge: Clear vinyl creates a greenhouse effect. Direct sunlight can make enclosed spaces uncomfortably warm.
Our Solution: Our panels are designed to be easily removed or rolled up, allowing airflow when needed. Many customers also add vents or use a combination of clear vinyl and mesh panels.
The Challenge: When temperature differentials exist between inside and outside, condensation can form on the vinyl surface.
Our Solution: Proper ventilation reduces condensation. We recommend vents near the top and bottom of your enclosure. The condensation that does form wipes away easily.
The Challenge: In high winds, vinyl panels can flap or make noise if not properly secured.
Our Solution: Our marine-grade zippers and heavy-duty grommets keep panels secure. For high-wind areas, we recommend additional tie-down points and proper tensioning.
The Challenge: Lower-quality vinyl can yellow, cloud, or become brittle over time from UV exposure.
Our Solution: We use only premium 30-gauge marine vinyl with UV inhibitors. Properly cared for, our vinyl stays crystal clear for years. We've had customers with 10+ year old panels still looking great.
