Choosing a panel
Profile, gauge, finish. Three decisions, then we cut to length.
Profile
R Panel is the workhorse for pole barns, machine sheds, and warehouses: 36" coverage, 1.25" ribs, exposed fasteners, slopes down to 1/12. 9-36 is the economical exposed-fastener panel for shops and storage. Snaplock standing seam hides the fasteners for homes and premium commercial roofs (3/12 slope or steeper), and 8" Board & Batten gives walls a traditional look in steel.
Gauge and substrate
All panels are roll-formed from G90 galvanized steel. 29 gauge covers most residential walls and light-duty roofs; 26 gauge is the usual pick for agricultural and commercial buildings that take snow load and wind; 24 gauge is available for heavy-duty applications. Bare Galvalume is stocked alongside the painted colors.
Finish and lengths
Painted panels carry a factory SMP finish with a 40-year warranty against fading, chalking, cracking, and peeling, in the full stocked color chart. Panels and trim are cut to your exact length, up to 50 feet, so long runs go up without lap seams. Matching trim, closures, screws, and accessories ship with the order.
