where in the heck do you get metal roofing!

If you lived near me i could give you probably all you wanted my family owns a construction company and we have alot of what we call cover sheets which cover the new metal so it dont get scrached while being hauled to jobsites and such we get tons of it people have built whole barns outta it we use ALOT. So maybe try a local construction company and ask if they have any cover sheets that they get from when they buy theyre metal.

I had the same problem when I asked at Lowe's. You need to ask for metal barn siding. You can use it for siding or roofing material. They will special order it. It comes in 36" sections and they will order it by the inch. If you need it 12' 3" long, you order it 12' 3". If you need 15' wide, you would order 5 sections. If you need it 16', you order 6 sections and have to cut it. Use a plywood blade turned backwards on a circular saw. When cutting you need to wear gloves, eyeglasses, ear plugs, and a long shirt. Hot small specs of metal fly everywhere.

Hmmmm I was a commodities buyer for the Home Depot's in the region (akansas oklahoma) and we carried several lengths of corrugated galvanized and several colors of colored metal roofing. Go to the pro desk and tell them what your looking for.

I put metal "R" panel on my tractor and it was easy to put on...
See the enclosed pictures.
The top pix is with the flashing on and the bottom one is just the panel being installed

Hope this helps.

A stock sheet of corrugated metal roofing covers 16 foot X 3 foot. It's actually 37 1/2 inches wide because of the over lap.

Lowes has it, sheets of grey metal roofing and flashing, it is in the contractor/lumber section!
Good luck.
