What is the best tool for cutting the corrugated see-through sheets on my car-port please.
 
Probably a bandsaw.

Failing that, a circular saw with a sharp blade, using some wood to hold it down and act as a straight edge, so it doesn't chatter/vibrate while cutting, reducing the risk of it shattering or cracking.
 
For plastic? I've never tried it myself, doesn't it just melt it's way through rather than cutting and leave behind a burred edge?
Better with a diamond blade rather than a carbide disc. We use the lawn and a bucket of water splashed over the grass. The burr breaks off easily.
 
OK. have used a metal cutting blade, cuts cleanly, leaving a soft edge, brilliant!
Thanks to every-one.
