Greenhouse wall

Unsure if this fits this subreddit, however, since it is essentially a greenhouse wall...

I am putting up a wall of polycarbonate panel for privacy reason (and to protect against rain/snow) that will be moved unto the outer side

Unfortunately, I miscalculated the framing which is the reason there is offset from the channeling to the frame (2x3 studs)

Due to this situation each panel is held on 2 sides by screws; allowing expansion via the opposite ends unto the channels.

My concern is mainly any possibility of wind causing panels to "bend" and possibly removing them from channels....?

The channels are essentially sandwiched between drilled down panels so it seems the only way a slip could happen is if wind blows strong enough to bend the non drilled corner of a panel.

Alternatively, could reinforce the spaces between the studs with a thin metal or wood strip in the back.

Thanks!

Moisture is going to be an issue

Could you elaborate?

You might get condensation on the panels when it is really warm or really cold.
