Building a Low-Cost CLEAR Deck Roof

I built a cost-effective roof for my back porch with a modern, minimalist design and it transformed my backyard. It's like a covered pergola except it provides more than just shade. I used transparent, polycarbonate corrugated roofing panels from Tuftex. They allow about 85% of the sunlight through, offer ultraviolet protection, shelter from the weather, especially snow, and are water proof. (This video was not sponsored by any of the suppliers mentioned.) Home renovation.

Here's a link to the 12ft polycarbonate roofing material:

It's also available in shorter lengths at the home centers:

Here's a link to the gutter build project I added to this roof after I realized the drainage sucked:
