Are these the all in one piece molded fiberglass? If so, find out
what U.V. protection is used to reduce the fiberglass degradation
from the sun.Last we checked on this product made locally is that it
was using some coating that would have to be replenished often.The
school got one and it's already looking bad after abt. 5 years. If
the U.V. problem has been resolved, then it would be a possibility.
The big problem with some materials in U.V. degradation reducing
light transmission. Fiberglass is one.Find out if the 14 years covers
U.V. degradation.When we checked,it did not.
We went with the corrugated panels from
Farm Wholesale Hope this
link works.My first try at posting one here.
The company gave me a warrenty in writing against U.V. degradation.It
is formulated into the product.So far we are pleased with the
product. Lower heat buildup in summer with the double walled
structure,as well,which is just as much a problem as heating. It
looks like plastic cardboard.Good company to deal with.They'll send a
free sample for you to see.
