How thick are the panels & do they slide into their frames? I would like to replace roof panels and need to know thickness. Thanks

The thickness of both the side wall panels and the roof panels is 0.8 mm. The panels do slide in and out of the frame.

Hi John,You can watch an assembly video showing the panels sliding into place by visiting Living Outfitters dot com and searching for "HG5304G". The actual thickness is less than 1mm.This is a great greenhouse for many of our customers.Thanks!

The panels are not really stiff. They are flexible enough to bend. I didn't have clips either. The panels just rested on top of wooden frames. I did cut them down in size a bit because the panels were too big to fit into the frames. Make sure there is some overlap on the edges of the frames and that they are supported on all 4 sides. It worked fine for me. They looked really awesome.

For mine to stay in I actually ended up screwing it in to the top of the sliding door frame for stability. It definitely took about 30 min to get it situated the first time that I installed it and it is not something that i would continually move in and out. It would be possible but a big hassle. It would be much easier to insert the panel.

the panel is only 1 1/2 " to 1 3/4" thickness at the most, same as the sliding glass door. I love mine, and so does my English Bull Dog. She comes and goes as she wants, into her fenced yard.

My measuring tape and poor eyesight show about 9/16" thickness of the slats themselves -- over 1/2" but not quite 5/8" (not including the support slats and rubber feet underneath) -- they are strong but will "give" a little after several months when exposed to constant water if you use it in the shower directly under the shower head as we do. I have 2 others, one just outside the shower and one at the sink, and they are solid.

I would not take down even the panels as they are difficult to fit in properly in the first place. Very little clearance into the slots and was not sure I would be able to do it. It took several hours just to put the panels in place. Have a neighbor who has left his up all winter for the last three years here in MD with no problem. That being said if it was a heavy snow I will go out and push as much off as possible so it won't accumulate too much.

They have grommets around the edge for mounting and the panels are light, pliable and thin. I use mine as a sunshade for the front windshield. They are now weather proof.

They maybe fairly thin, but with the bevels in the panels they are fairly durable. We have had ours set up since the end of May beginning of June. We haven't had any issues with greenhouse in the wind, cold and snow. ... And we live in Minnesota.

I had hoped they could but no. Although the panels are a little flexible, they are not flexible enough to slide under wind bars. I removed mine one at time starting from the top panels. Once removed, I installed panels and replaced wind bars. It definitely doubled my installation time but was well worth it for a nice clean look.

The roof panels are poly. So far just got the frame together and have not installed the panels yet.

The brackets would work if you streighten one side out and mount them to the side of the panel. Instead of the bracket looking like a ( Z ) it would look like a ( L ) Use the long slot to screw to the panel and the two holes mount to the roof. theese brackets are soft metal and can be bent easy and now you will have some adjustment to alow for the curveature.

They are meant to be replacement weld in panels. I'm sure they will fit over existing panels but to do the job correctly you would cut them out and weld these in.

Roughly 1/8 of an inch in thickness. Quite fragile, I had mine custom cut to my skylight measurement by a professional service that deals with plexiglass.

Each panel is an aluminum frame. The sliding doors you will have to secure them. Will they scratch through the screens.

It is 3/16" thick and it does not matter (as far as I know) since both sides are reflective. The stickem did not work well for me, so ended up using 3/8" metal screws every 6" on the ribs of each panel.Hope that helps - It has made a huge difference in my garage temp at the end of the day.

The panels can be any thickness and you can adjust the track with the spacers they provide good luck with your project , send pics when your doneRich

There are four screw hole on each of the top and bottom mounting boards. I have screwed two of the four into studs, the other two into drywall anchors. I am not sure the thickness of the panels you have, but you want to be able to hold about 300 lbs if you want to hang and do any leg lifts, etc.
