Panel basics corrugated metal panels often called tin because in the past such panels were sometimes made of tin are typically steel or aluminum sheets that are used as a roofing material.
While panels may not fail under heavy snow loads strain at fastening points can cause slight cracking.
In the valleys due to the angle typically produced at the valley and the use of transition flashing it is essential that the purlins are doubled in the valleys that is two purlins.
For heavier material such as gage steel the metal roof purlins spacing length could go up to 4 feet.
Corrugations should run in a straight line between the highest and lowest points and at a right angle to the purlins the intermediate supports.
Minimum recommended purlin size is 4 x 2 50mm x 100mm in timber or z140mm x 1 6mm in steel.
In some cases however the exact spacing of the rafters doesn t matter if the roof has other means of supporting the metal panels.
