How far will metal roofing span?

Answer 1

The distance metal roofing can span depends upon:

* The exact profile of the roofing eg: standard corrugated, fine or baby corrugated, trough section etc Check with the supplier as to what each is capable of as some are much stronger than others, and different manufacturer's profiles and strengths may vary even though they look similar. * The thickness of the metal used. (There are usually two standard thicknesses available but this will depend on your supplier.) * The wind zone for the building (check with your supplier and the local authority) * The type and spacing of fixings may also affect span.
