Product Information
Full details
The PolyX Rafter Bar End Bar is designed for DIYers and professional contractors who require a clean, professional finish for the edges of polycarbonate roofing systems. Its primary benefit is the built-in adjustable adaptor that removes the need for additional F-sections, streamlining the installation process significantly. The one caveat to keep in mind is that while it is highly versatile, it is specifically engineered for self-support roofing systems, so compatibility checks are required for custom-built or non-standard timber frames.

FAQs
What is the maximum span for this rafter bar?
This system is engineered to support spans up to 6 metres.
Does this bar work with 16mm polycarbonate sheets?
Yes, this bar is compatible with sheet thicknesses from 16mm up to 35mm.
Do I need to buy separate F-sections for the edges?
No, the adjustable adaptor on this bar eliminates the need for separate F-sections or closers.
Is the gasket replaceable?
The gasket is integrated into the bar to ensure a proper seal; it is not designed to be removed or replaced separately.
Can I use this for glass roofing?

What tools are needed for installation?
You generally only need a drill for mounting the base and a rubber mallet to secure the snap-cap.
Troubleshooting
Snap-cap will not click into place
Check that the sheet is fully seated in the gasket and that no debris is obstructing the locking channel.
Water ingress at the edge
Ensure the snap-cap is fully engaged along the entire length; check that the gasket is not pinched or folded during installation.
Difficulty in aligning long lengths
Use a guide line to ensure the rafter bar is perfectly straight before fixing to the support structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your timber or metal rafters are spaced according to your polycarbonate sheet manufacturer's load specifications. Position the base of the bar along the rafter edge and fix it securely. Place your polycarbonate sheet onto the bar's gasket and use a rubber mallet to gently tap the snap-cap into place along its entire length to ensure a full engagement.
For maintenance, periodically inspect the snap-cap to ensure it remains flush with the bar. Clean the white PVC surface with a soft cloth and mild soapy water to remove debris and prevent discolouration. Avoid abrasive cleaners or strong solvents that could degrade the finish or the gasket material.
