this lot thinks it does

Multiwall polycarbonate sheets are the best solution for conservatory roofing for the modern home. Available in thicknesses from 4mm all the way up to 35mm for maximum insulation values and unrivalled color/tint options the polycarbonate sheet remains at the forefront of conservatory technology.
• Blocks 99% of UV radiation
• Superb thermal insulation with "U" values as low as 1.2
• Weather and UV resistant
• Light weight with excellant impact resistance
• Class 1 BS 476/7 Fire rating

once laid up a grp hull in a garage with a polycarbonate roof, it may block UV but it does get *!"*! hot under it!!!

I don't think it will be an issue in reality. Polycarbonate sheet will absorb all the UV so you only have visible light coming through. Obviously coloured tubes absorb visible light too, but it will be pretty weak/diffuse light if any corrugated polycarbonate car ports I've seen are anything to go by.

Sound. Thanks to everyone for the advice. It seems all I have to do is splash a bit of wood preservative on the support timbers, replace the doors with something a little more robust and secure and replace a few cracked panels. Nice n easy :-)
