If your greenhouse is covered polyethylene film, you're probably no stranger to unexpected repairs, not to mention complete re-covering on a regular basis. In fact, even the most technically advanced greenhouse films only last 3 to 4 years on average --- that's assuming that hail or wind doesn't destroy it sooner. And if light transmission is something you need, you're probably not finding enough of it in your double poly covered greenhouse. Now you can upgrade your greenhouse to a high quality, high light transmitting rigid covering quickly, easily and cost-effectively with the new Palram DrainAway Greenhouse Re-Covering System. The DrainAway System adds strength and rigidity to your structure while facilitating the easy installation of DynaGlas corrugated polycarbonte. And because DrainAway provides complete condensation collection and drainage, you'll be able to take full advantage of DynaGlas Plus' built-in condensation control. Check out the installation example below to get an idea of what kind of difference re-covering with DynaGlas can make. Or, for more information and a price quotation, click here.

Originally, this greenhouse was covered with poly film. The owner could have simply added square tube or pipe purlins in order to fasten DynaGlas to the structure, but the Palram DrainAway System went beyond that. DrainAway are components are easier to installed that either pipe or square tube, but more importantly, they're designed to collect and remove condensate as is travels down the inside of the panel. plus, DrainAway components are made of extruded aluminum, so they'll last a lifetime without corroding or rusting. In the photo at left you can see how the DrainAway components were very simply added to the existing pipe roof bows prior to installation of the DynaGlas.

Because the DrainAway components are simply fastened to the existing roof bows, there is no need for No-Drip accessories such as Pipe Straps or Spacers. Pipe Straps are difficult and costly to install, plus it makes it very difficult to perform maintenance after installation is complete because they bend so easily. The same holds true for No-Drip Spacers and No-Drip Angle Iron Straps. With the Drainaway System, DynaGlas panels are fastened directly to the DrainAWay components, making installation and maintenance much easier.

After the job was complete, the structure is much better than new. DynaGlas Plus is virtually maintenance free, offers the highest impact resistance available, is virtually self-extinguishing when exposed to flame, and provides the highest light transmission of any type of glazing. In most cases, we'll have an easy way to re-cover any structure built over the last 75 years. Click on the "Get me a Quote" button below to download a quote request form.
