Corrugated roof hole - how to fix
 

Hi,

I have a shed which has the plastic corrugated roofing on it.

One sheet has a hole in it which is approx 2inches by 1 inch. There is
a small crack leading off from it but the hole and crack is so small I
was wondering if I could just fix the hole somehow to prevent me from
getting a new sheet.

So, can anyone recommend what I should use to fill the hole, and how I
should do it.

I was thinking of doing it the way you repair a hole in a plasterboard
wall, i.e. I would put a bit of plastic on the underneath whilst I fill
the hole with some filler type material - but I done know what I could
use to fill the hole

Is this the best way to do this?

Thanks

I have used pvc tape (the yellow and black type used for marking areas on
floors) cos I had a roll in stock
one piece on the top one on the underside
lasted for years

I guess that a piece of flexible transparent packaging from something like a
fruit punnet could be cut to size and stuck on with clear silicone. Probably
even bend it to shape with the help of a hairdryer

driling ahole at the end of the crack stops it spreading. Unless of
course the drilling creates 6 more cracks... 'Well the reason we called
it swiss cheese cottage is...'

If its PVC simply get a bit more of the same and glue it on top with PVC
cement - as used in welded waste pipes.

thats easier. Clean it well first.
