Have been looking to buy UV clear/tinted flexible PVC to replace patio flyscreen. Only local supplier found is Clark Rubber in Sydney but product range is very limited. Any other supplier suggestions? Thanks

sheets of polycarbonate
I think he's looking for the stuff you put on tables etc. I'd like some 1mm acrylic if you've got any of that though.
I am actually looking to buy about 1.8m x 10 m roll of 0.75mm flexible PVC (tablecloth type) to replace existing flyscreen in patio. I think 0.75mm is the maximum thickness to be able to work with flyscreen spline.
Try places that do caravans or outdoor stuff.
Google 'vinyl curtains', might find something, eg https://www.coversandall.com.au/outdoor-curtains.html
Only got that 1.5mm polycarbonate I’m afraid.
Which tool do you use to cut the polycarbonate sheets ?
Score with a knife and then snap. There's a special knife called a 'hook knife' that make scoring a bit easier.
Or use a table saw.
Thanks
At 1.5mm or less, use a sharp knife. 0.5 and 0.75 you can use scissors.
The flexible PVC is the way to go as you don't want a stray ball breaking the acrylic sheet. Bunnings sell roll down patio blinds in clear PVC flexible stuff…..
Look for a local acrylic dealer? Buy full sheets of polycarbonate. 2440x1220mm then cut down to size at home.
If you can’t find any in Sydney give me a PM. I can help you with if you’re willing to go a bit thicker at 1.5mm
