This is a 16 ft ribbed panel of 29-gauge Galvalume steel with a polyester finish on the top side, made for roofing and siding on barns, shops and outbuildings. It covers 36 in. of width, carries a Class 4 impact rating for hail and wind-blown debris, and is non-combustible. The 40-year warranty and simple screw-down install are its main draws. Against heavier 26-gauge panels it is lighter and easier to handle but dents more easily, and the thinner steel flexes more on wide spans.
