The Importance of Proper Delivery for Polycarbonate Panels

The Importance of Proper Delivery for Polycarbonate Panels

Polycarbonate panels are an excellent choice for a wide range of applications, from patio covers to greenhouses and skylights. However, one major challenge that many customers overlook is transporting these large and lightweight panels safely.
At Polycarbonate Depot, we understand these challenges, which is why we offer free
shipping — because we love our clients and want to ensure your panels arrive in perfect condition.


Why Transporting Polycarbonate Panels Is Difficult


Unlike smaller building materials, polycarbonate panels are extremely large, often measuring 12 to 16 feet long. This makes them too big to fit in a standard car and difficult to secure safely on pickup trucks or trailers.


Common Issues with Self-Transporting Polycarbonate Panels

Won’t Fit in a Car – Even if you have a large SUV, most panels are too long to fit inside.
Risky on Pickup Trucks – While some people try to transport them on a truck bed, panels are lightweight and can catch the wind, potentially blowing away while driving

The only way to secure them is with multiple straps, which can:

  • Damage the panel edges
  • Create stress points leading to cracks or warping

Wind Can Be a Major Hazard – Polycarbonate panels act like sails in the wind. Even with strong straps, the force of wind resistance can cause panels to shift or get damaged.

The Best Way to Transport Polycarbonate Panels

The only safe and reliable way to transport polycarbonate panels is with a van or a box truck.

These enclosed vehicles: 

  • Protect the panels from wind damage
  • Prevent cracking or bending from improper strapping
  • Ensure safe and secure delivery to your location

At Polycarbonate Depot, we believe that safe delivery is just as important as product
quality. That’s why we provide free shipping to ensure that your polycarbonate panels arrive undamaged and ready for installation.

We take care of the logistics so you don’t have to worry about renting a truck or risking damage during transport.
