Transparent vinyl turns a mesh patio into a weather-protected one. Here is how it behaves and how to care for it.
Clear vinyl panels block wind-driven rain and chilly breezes while letting light and views through. They are a good partner to mesh screens and can extend the use of a covered patio into cool or damp weather.
Vinyl needs careful handling. It catches more wind than mesh, can scratch if cleaned roughly and may collect condensation in humid conditions. We pair it with strong tracks, advise on soft-cloth cleaning and recommend raising it in strong wind.
