those sheets are not meant to have screws thru them, it will cause them to crack and break...try using trim around the edges and 2 sided tape in the middle...Rob

When i bought mine at a local plastic supply place ther had "special" drill bit's that they recommended to use to drill thru the plastic and nit damage it. I drilled it with no problems at all... The key is to drill very slow with very light pressure with a piece of wood behind it to keep from cracking it.:coolcowboy:

Dang Strip, All you need now is a pole for the girls to play on.
