dont forget u need to get the sheet in there it may be too big in one piece this may influence how you do it

I have. One meter wide to fit a panel down the hatch
As I have 6 ft .2inches head room
I Am thinking centre roof panel one meter wide leaves. A balance of 320 cm each side for the other two panels
OR
Do I divide the cabin roof by 3 and make all panels the same width roughly .550 cm each
The problem there would be loosing a little head clearance As I would have to trim it may be 10 mm

Hi HG

How are you intending to join the sheets

Are you going to use the joining strip shown on there web site

I am a bit confused by the comment of loosing 10 mm of headroom if you did it in 3 equal pieces

Could you not do it in two pieces faith a joining strip down the centre

Regards Don

10 mm meant a wooden trim covering the sheet joins
I ended up buying aluminum composite not the material I was thinking of the other night the aluminum composite is lighter and cheaper $60 2400 x 1200 x 3 buy look nice as well . It initial use was for making signs
= how to cut
also Ill use some thin neapreane spacers on the back of the panel from what Ive read it helps with expansion btween different materials
