Roof Styles

A blue and white carport with two sides.

Vertical Roof Style – Best

A-Frame Design Roof with the panels installed vertically. The corrugated ridges in the panel run from the ridge cap down to the eave side of the building.

  • Vertical Roof design is the same as most traditional home or business rooftops are installed when using steel panels.
  • Snow, water, leaves, and other trash will run off better on this design since the ridges are installed vertically, allowing free flow off of the building.
  • The unit has a vertical roof trim on the sides and ends for a completed appearance.
  • Hat channel is used on the roof bow/truss to allow attachment of vertical panels, adding to the stability of the structure.
  • The roof/truss has a welded transition via a steel pin onto the legs. Some Manufacturers require a Vertical Roof for buildings over 31’ and 36’.

Boxed Eave Style – Better

A-Frame Design Roof with panels installed horizontally.

The corrugated ridges in the panel run from the front end of the building to the back end of the building.

  • It is the middle range in our carport roof types, and is an A Frame design roof, with the metal running horizontally from end to end.
  • It is more affordable since it does not have a hat channel or ridge cap like the Vertical Roof since the panels are horizontal.
  • It uses fascia trim on the eave side to give it a pleasing finished look, and L Trim on the ends to finish out the ends of the panels and cover the sharp edges.
  • We recommend that all buildings over 36’ in length use Vertical Roof since the trailers can only haul 36’ panels. Some manufacturers require a Vertical Roof over 31’ or 36’.

Regular Style – Good

Radius Bend Design Roof with panels installed horizontally.

The corrugated ridges in the panel run from the front end of the building to the back end of the building.

  • Regular Style is the most economical of the type of rooflines, since it does not have the hat channel, the ridge cap, eave side trim, and is a one piece bent bow/truss with no welded transition.
  • We recommend that all buildings over 36’ in length use Vertical Roofs, since the trailers can only haul 36’ panels.
  • The roof/truss has a welded transition via a steel pin onto the legs.
  • Some Manufacturers require Vertical Roofs for buildings over 31’ and 36’.
