Info

If the sheeting is too thin or there are too few fittings, the nails orscrews may tear through the sheet.To prevent this type of failure use more fixings for thinnersheeting.Use fittings with a broad washer or dome head (zinc nail). To usemore fixings for each sheet, put in the laths at closer centers andnail closer together.Corrugated galvanize sheets are gauged by numbers. The Higher thenumber the thinner the material. Example, 24 Gauged galvanize issuperior to 28 gauged.How does roof sheeting fail in a HurricaneGalvanize roof with too few sheeting65
If galvanized sheets are used 24 Gauge is recommended. If you mustuse 26 Gauge, which is thinner, this is how to hold your sheeting to theroof structure. See figure 5.14.Roof construction showing ridges, eves and overhangs fixingsFixings For Sheeting66
