Our take on the PBR Panels

A 26-gauge PBR panel in Galvalume steel, 3 ft wide and 20 ft long, covering 60 sq ft per panel. PBR's raised ribs and overlapping legs shed water well and span purlins farther apart than 5V crimp or corrugated panels, which is why it dominates metal warehouses and agricultural buildings. The 26-gauge Galvalume base resists rust better than bare galvanized in most exterior use, though it is thinner than 24-gauge panels used on heavier commercial roofs. It suits owners of steel buildings, shops and large siding or roofing jobs who want a proven profile at a lighter gauge.

Pros
  • PBR profile sheds water and resists wind uplift
  • Galvalume coating holds up to rust better than plain galvanized
  • 60 sq ft per panel cuts seams on long walls and roofs
  • 26-gauge keeps panels light and easy to handle
  • Works for both roofing and siding
Cons
  • 26-gauge dents more easily than 24-gauge panels
  • Galvalume finish is unpainted mill silver, not a color match
  • 20 ft panels are awkward to haul and lift without help
  • Exposed fasteners need washers and careful placement to avoid leaks

What reviewers say

Buyers of PBR panels generally report straight, consistent profiles and good coverage per panel, and many use them for shop and barn roofs. Complaints center on the thin 26-gauge steel denting and on the plain Galvalume look.

Questions and answers

Is a 26-gauge PBR panel strong enough for a roof?
Yes for most sheds, shops and agricultural buildings on purlins spaced per the manufacturer's span table. It is lighter than 24-gauge, so it dents more from hail or foot traffic.
Does Galvalume rust?
Galvalume steel resists rust far better than bare galvanized in most exterior conditions. Cut edges and drilled holes should be sealed, and it should not touch treated lumber or concrete directly.
Can I use this panel for siding as well as roofing?
Yes. The same PBR profile works vertically for siding and horizontally for roofing, so one panel type can cover both.
How much area does one panel cover?
One 3 ft by 20 ft panel covers 60 sq ft. Order extra for overlaps, gable ends and waste.
What fasteners and trim do I need?
Use self-drilling screws with EPDM washers matched to the panel color, plus ridge, eave and corner trim. Fasten on the flat of the panel, not the rib.
Can this panel be painted?
Galvalume can be painted after proper cleaning and a suitable primer, but factory-painted panels hold color better. The bare finish is meant to weather to a dull gray.
Where is the PBR Panels cheapest?
At eBay, for $229.99, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the PBR Panels?
2 stores we checked sell it, including eBay, SoCal Fence and Barn.
