Plastic roof with installation from below

[Pearton]

Hi
I need a plastic roof that can be mounted from underneath.
See attached photos.
Does anyone know the make or where I can find a similar solution?

Update: I may have been unclear. The plastic roof should lie on top of the framework but be fastened from underneath. Just like in the pictures.
The reason I want to do it this way is because of the height above ground. It would make things much easier.

Grateful for responses

Best regards
Andreas

I don't understand why you can't install the roof from above but the roof you have is called Icopal fastlock and it disappeared a long time ago.

And with a roof with underside installation, you'll never get it tight. So just rethink and accept the situation, with work that comes.

And a roof with installation from underneath will never be sealed. So just rethink and accept the situation, with the work that follows.

Icopal fastlock allows you to do just that. I've installed one under a balcony (with decking) to keep the patio underneath dry. You can see in the picture how the fittings look. The plastic panels are pressed or slid together.

But the roof in TS's pictures seems to have only daylight above, which is why I'm wondering why it's not accessible from above.

And how do you seal with the framework (rafters) that lie bearing under the structure. It looks as if the structure is recessed into the rafters. There's virtually no space to fit anything in between there.

And how do you make it tight with the framework (trusses) that is bearing under the load-bearing structure. It looks like the load-bearing structure is recessed into the trusses. Equally with zero space to get something in between there.

There are clips you screw or nail straight down. The roof will survive even if you cheat a little... Each panel is extremely locked in by the surrounding two.

And a roof mounted from below will never be watertight. So just rethink and accept the situation, with work that needs to be done.

B.S.

I had two such roofs mounted from below on my previous house. One on the conservatory that was 30+ years old without leaking a drop. And one on the carport that was 10 years old, also completely leak-free.

So just rethink and accept the situation...
