Roof Styles

When choosing the right roof style for your metal building, it's essential to understand the different options available. Each style is designed with unique features to suit various climates, uses, and budgets. 

Regular / Standard

Most Affordable Option

This is our most affordable roof style. The sheet metal runs horizontally on both the roof and body of the building. If you are in a high snow area, this would not be the best option for you. This building does not have an overhang like an eave, however, it does round over the corners about 10". This standard roof also has a 6" overhang on the front and back. The trusses on this building are rounded on the corners. Up to 30' wide.

This roof style is often used for:

  • RV Covers / RV Carports
  • Trailer Covers / Trailer Carports
  • Boat Cover/ Boat Carports
  • Simple Covered Seating Area
  • Single Carports
  • Double Carports

Boxed Eave (A-Frame Horizontal)

Compatible with Gutters

This is secondary to most affordable. This building also has sheet metal that runs horizontally on both the roof and body but the trusses are formed as an A Frame. The overhang on the Boxed Eave/A Frame is 6" on all 4 sides which make it easy to put on gutters. With the sheet metal running horizontally, it would mean water run off most likely to run in the same pattern as the sheet metal ribs or grooves so it would run off front to back, not side to side. Up to 30' wide.

This roof style is often used for:

  • Garages / Shops
  • Sheds
  • Animal Shelters
  • Boat Covers / Boat Carports
  • Simple Covered Seating Area
  • Single Carports
  • Double Carports

Residential (A-Frame Vertical)

Great for Snowy Areas

This building has a Vertical A Frame Roof. It would mean that the sheet metal ribs or grooves are running from the peak down. This building has a 6" overhang on the eaves only and the front and back are flush. This is a great building for high snow area's and to direct the water or snow off the eaves. These are great buildings for gutters on the eaves. This building is stronger as well since we will be installing more frame work on the roof (purlins) in order to turn the sheet metal vertically and have enough support in which to do that. The sheet metal on the body of this building are still running horizontally. Up to 30' wide.

This roof style is often used for:

  • Garage
  • Metal Shop
  • Shed
  • Storage
  • RV Carport or RV Garage
  • Boat Cover/ Boat Carports
  • Simple Covered Seating Area
  • Single Carport
  • Double Carport
  • Patio Cover
