Last Wednesday I had a short hailstorm. I wasn't home at this time. After my return I've seen the result.
A partly destroyed roof of my greenhouse. There are some cracks and holes. I guess that this damage will pay the insurance.

Hailstorm
Only when the last tree has died, the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize that we cannot eat money.

It is twinwall polycarbonate! One hail stone is thru the roof. The others only thru the first layer. I guess the hail had table tennis ball size.
All is renewable and no plant have got any damages. I had luck on my side. More or less.

Amazing! When I built my greenhouse one of the manufacturers said some thicknesses are used as bullet proof glass. UV does weaken it over years.
I am just looking for the defining statement to put here. Follow this link to see my other cacti.

Hail can do some pretty significant damage though, I took some photos a few years back of the aftermath of a freak hailstorm down here that dented car's, broke windows and even rooftiles. I missed driving headfirst into it by about 5 minutes but it hit my wife's work badly.
These are the only ones I still have online, will be going offline in less than a week though as my old website is getting retired.

Daiv the new roof have had for only 1 year UV light.
And thru the winter protected by bubble wrap.
That can't be the only reason for the damage.
