Lin I've seen wavy cut strips at builder supplies just for mounting that corrugated plastic.
I meant to mention the above. We did buy a piece of the stuff sold just for that purpose for the brand of roofing we used but it doesn't fit tightly for some reason - I don't know if it's the way the roofing was put up or what the problem is. When I was asking my husband and the fellow setting this all up I was discouraged from questioning any further so I don't know what the problem was but they didn't want to discuss it. I wasn't in a position to push things. A tight fit doesn't seem important to this fellow but as I mentioned above it is to me. My husband understands my concerns as well. Once bees find their way in, they often can't find their way out and it an be like walking into a hive there can be so many of them. Added to that, without wearing perfumes, I have always been a bee magnet and I get panicky when they follow me and crawl all over me - ugh!!!!!! Wearing fabric softener sheets in mu clothes helps and hanging a fake hive does as well but they aren't absolutes.
