PALRUF® & SUN ‘N RAIN™  CORRUGATED PVC PANELS

Cost-effective corrugated panels for DIY outdoor living projects

Give your outdoor space the facelift it needs with PALRUF or SUN ‘N RAIN corrugated panels. Lightweight and easy to install, these PVC sheets are ideal for patio covers, partitions, sliders, under decking, and more, giving your home an economical, functional, and attractive update.

Intended for open sides and well-ventilated structures, these corrugated panels work well in regions with mild climates, and are virtually maintenance-free, offering an easy and durable DIY solution. Much stronger than traditional fiberglass panels, PALRUF/SUN ‘N RAIN’s plastic, fiberglass-free composition means they maintain their color and surface condition much better, as well.
 
PALRUF and SUN ‘N RAIN are similar products, yet vary in in corrugation (PALRUF: 3” corrugation, SUN ‘N RAIN: 2.67” corrugation), color selection, and availability. Visit your local retailer/dealer to see actual colors and to request samples.

BUILDING AN ENCLOSED STRUCTURE?

Note: Palruf/Sun ‘N Rain is intended for use on structures that are well-ventilated and open on at least three sides. It should not be used to cover enclosed structures due to heat build-up. For more enclosed structures, consider using SUNTOP or SUNTUF polycarbonate corrugated sheets. These products offer excellent performance in high or low temperatures and offer excellent long-term durability.
