As the title says....I'm looking at options for installing a 6" pipe through the roof of a greenhouse. (a geodesic dome)
A few details:
The polycarb is 1/2" thick (16mm) 5 wall.
550 sq ft of floor space
It's 12ft 6" from the floor to the ceiling and it would be a straight run of pipe.
The stove will likely be either an Englander 13 nch or Madison.
I'd love to hear some ideas. Would you use a silicone boot in such an application or a more standard approach? I have some ideas but (all of them may be wrong...LOL) it would be nice to hear other thoughts/suggestions or from someone who has gone through a thin metal roof or polycarb roof in the same fashion. Thinking single wall up to a point...then transition and go through the roof. How hot do you think the flue might be 12 ft up?
Ideas appreciated. it's getting da mn cold out there... ;-)

>Totally amazing<<<....and definitely a first in my 20+ years of Internet access....
I took out a square of polycarbonate from frame to frame and about 24" long. I rested that on the metal frame then cut out the hole for the flue and added the storm collar. Never melted anything. I will follow up time to leave for work
