The PolyX Rafter Bar (Intermediate) is designed for professional builders and DIY enthusiasts working on self-support roofing projects. It provides a robust, secure mechanism for joining and supporting polycarbonate sheets, offering exceptional structural stability for spans up to 6 metres. While it is highly durable, users should note that it is specifically designed for 16mm to 35mm sheet thicknesses and requires precise alignment during installation to ensure the snap cap locks securely.

The intermediate rafter bar is engineered to support spans of up to 6 metres.
No, this specific model is compatible with sheet thicknesses ranging from 16mm to 35mm only.
Yes, each bar is supplied with one end cap to ensure a clean, professional finish.
Yes, it utilizes neoprene gaskets to provide a secure seal against the elements.
The PolyX system is designed for self-support roofing, meaning it acts as the primary support for the sheets between the wall plate and eaves beam.
Use a non-abrasive cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or scouring pads to maintain the finish.
Ensure the polycarbonate sheet is fully seated in the gasket and that there is no debris preventing the cap from clicking into the base channel.
Check that the neoprene gaskets are not pinched or damaged and verify that the snap cap is fully pressed down along the entire length.
Verify that the span does not exceed the maximum 6-metre rating and ensure the supporting frame at the wall plate and eaves beam is properly reinforced.
To install, ensure your wall plate and eaves beam are level. Place the PolyX Rafter base onto the frame and secure it using appropriate fixings. Lay your polycarbonate sheets onto the integrated neoprene gaskets on either side of the base. Once the sheets are positioned, align the snap cap directly over the center of the bar and apply firm pressure along the length until it clicks into place. For maintenance, periodically inspect the snap caps for any signs of loosening due to extreme thermal expansion or contraction. Clean the surface with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth; avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the finish.
