Polycarbonate sashes (and some rose pics)

On an earlier thread there was discussion of polycarbonate sashes to enclose a porch, and someone asked for photos, so here goes:





Basically these are polycarbonate sheets inside wood frames, with hinges at the top so they can swing up and attach to the ceiling of the porch during warm weather. The polycarbonate costs a fortune, unfortunately. But it is soooo much lighter than glass. And I got the Abrasion Resistant polycarbonate (a special kind) so it won't get scratched or turn yellow - so far so good, no scratches, you can hardly tell the sheets are there unless there's sunlight reflecting off them. But this is the first season they are up, so I have my fingers crossed.


In addition, just for good measure, here are some pics of last year's blooms:
