Quote: funny I did have a look on CL the other day to see if anything popped up, notta. I typically ASK on CL but I think its best to just get from lowes at this point, I do like the longer lengths and the free delivery though. I should get enough to do my house!

Cheapest option galvalume panels (non-painted). Cost would be $2.01 per ln ft. Our painted steel is $2.30 per ln ft
14x30 roof would require 20 panels (assuming it is two sided roof).
Non-painted = $562.80
Painted = $644.00
Pricing is for 20 panels @ 14’0”. Does NOT include trim, screws, or sales tax.
Due to location we could deliver at no charge.
Lead time is 2-3 days to get into our store. Maybe another 1-2 days to get delivered after that.
Thanks

Overall price doesn't sound too bad, but if you can find 14' panels, figure out what 20 of them would cost you. If hubby and/or the older sons could do the installation, safely, you'd undoubtedly save a bunch of money. Screws & tax I understand; no idea what the trim would be, unless he's including the strips that go under the panels as trim, which I doubt. Figure out how much the materials + tax would cost you; everything over that goes into Hess' pocket.
I doubt stores like Lowes or Home Depot will carry 14' panels in stock. If they do, great. If not, they can probably special order them for you. Wherever you buy the panels should be able to tell you what you need other than the panels; screws, the foam or fiber strips that go under the panels, the ridge strips for the peak, etc.
What kind of roof is on the building now? I used the same product on my deer blind, screwing it directly onto the plywood sheathing. If you take the existing roof off, down to the rafters, you'll have to put strips on top of the rafters, running the 30' length, in several rows (not sure how many, but I'd think 2' apart), to support the panels. If you go that way, you might want to use a couple of translucent panels (on both sides of the roof) of the same design...like on your deck roof...for natural light.
In the end it all depends on how your men folk feel about working 15' off the ground.
just a wood shed dont have plywood just strips to hold the steel on thats on it now. but it was rigged, not done perfect, it is a woodshed remember it was all recycled materials, its not that high about ten foot in the front and maybe eight or seven in the back.
Well, heck...that should be a piece of cake, then. Didn't realize, or forgot, it was your wood shed you were talking about. That height wouldn't even bother me, & I'm nervous when I walk on a thick rug.Your guys should be able to knock that out in an afternoon w/o breaking a sweat, if there are no undetected problems hiding under the old roof.
yes piece of cake, I have done four roofs already and thats not including sheds and coops crap, I have yet to use this type of roofing though, but compared to having to carry shingles and plywood up on a roof, I think we got this in the bag lol. I have always been the shingle cutter with my scrap pc of plywood and square running from end to end lol. While the boys got to play with the nailer nd break their backs leaning over, I sat on the roof and cutand barked orders like a woman does so well
I didn't include you on the roofing crew 'cause I wasn't sure your health would allow it. Happy to know you're all checked out on it.
Compared to shingles, this is super easy; just overlap the last panel with the new one, matching up the peaks & valleys, and screw away. I put the screws in the valleys; they're flat on the strips and it seemed right. Good luck with it.
it wont allow it unfortunately, you are correct and its killing me too. Thanks whties
Have a great morning, Sandra!
