I built a little bitty studio - It has a tin roof, I wanted the tin roof
but just as I started to put the tin on I had a idea for skylights.
Being that I was and seem to be always on a tight budget I used
two 16 ' corrugated polycarbonate sheets - they are as clear as glass
and tuff as nails - plus they can take very high heat.
So far - so good; it is amazing how much light comes thru
two 16 ' x 2 ' panels. Plus I can see the sky at night ;-)
If I was doing it over I would use two more.
