I would think that if the product just shattered from being brittle, it would have broke away from that supporting 2x4, rather than having that wood piece break apart from the roof soffit. Also as far as leaking, did you try a silicone caulk on all the windows?Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994357740800089505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643213212694171464.post-69015502695785429272021-10-24T03:21:01.912-07:002021-10-24T03:21:01.912-07:00So many blessings and gratitude sent your way.

We are in the process of planning a sunroom addition and your info was helpful in our decision. We put up a kit greenhouse by another brand two years ago, and know just how frustrating they can be. But the greenhouse we bought is at least sturdy, after the nitemare of construction was over. Think we might just do it from plans and wood, as it's hard to get a good product anymore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643213212694171464.post-69342095047075525442016-07-19T07:41:11.545-07:002016-07-19T07:41:11.545-07:00I'm glad I saved you the problems associated w...I'm glad I saved you the problems associated with these things..

They have been standing in rural Nova Scotia since 2008 but are far from quality products. The roof windows leak, the roof panels sag and have to be kept clear of snow. They have many gaps where wasps get in and Rion doors are a joke. I have installed stainless screws on all the roof hold down strips as the wind will otherwise remove the roof. I have not had a total collapse yet but do wonder how brittle the pvc has become. There are several broken sections on the sun room base probably from snow shovel contact. I am considering building a wood frame for the sun room and replacing the roof with polycarbonate patio panels. I would not buy a Rion again as they are not built to take the cold snowy climate of Canada. I had expected better.<br /><br />EastjackEastjackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05841322278973933754noreply@blogger.com
