Re: Portcullis Thickness
The manual quotes "The door is constructed of a steel frame with a 1/8 in. thick polycarbonate sheet covering the opening in the frame."
Seeing WITH the polycarbonate sheet COVERING the opening in the frame implies that 1/8 is not the entire thickness.

Covering the opening of the (portcullis) frame, which is correct it does not mean two sandwiched sheets, keep in mind costs one sheet suffices. They would not use two sheets when they can simply paint grates on.

Sally port uses two sheets of polycarb for wood pattern print to be sandwiched between

Re: Portcullis Thickness
Did you look at the link to another forum? Because on that forum, they said that the polycarbonate sheet jut has bars PAINTED onto it, but that steel is under it and someone else said that there's an aluminum grid on the back of the polycarbonate sheet

Re: Portcullis Thickness
So it may not be sandwiched, but one side might have a steel/aluminum grid.

Re: Portcullis Thickness
The polycarb is backed at the bottom edge by an ~ 1"x1" square steel bar.
I'll see if I have a photo of the Kickoff field to show it.

P.S.
The bar is just the bottom edge of the metal frame holding the polycarb.

Here's a photo: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/at...0&d=1453761170

Re: Portcullis Thickness
So with the steel, does it have one or two sheets of polycarbonate covering it? In other words, is the steel sandwiched between two sheets or uncovered on one side.

Polycarbonate using

Re: Portcullis Thickness
The polycarb is only on the Courtyard side (?).
Then the bar.

Then the Neutral zone.

P.S.
I think I reversed which side the polycarb is on, so don't take that on my word.

Re: Portcullis Thickness
Sorry if any of my comments seemed sarcastic, I didn't mean them to be.
