Our brand-new galvanised corrugated tin roofing sheets are available in two different lengths, 8ft and 10ft. Both feature a 3-inch corrugation and have a thickness of 0.54mm with an overall width of 840mm. This sheeting is ideal for creating a temporary cover or a permanent roof on warehouse buildings, sheds, barns or outhouses. This item is made from galvanised iron and can be purchased with a 24swg, 22swg, or 26swg gauge. This system is used to denote the thickness of sheet metal and wire, known as the Standard Wire Gauge.

Corrugation spacing: 3 inches (76.2mm).
They are typically used as the roof on a temporary roof scaffold (tin hat) but are also perfect for creating roof coverings on barns, warehouses, sheds and shelters, or even fencing areas off, and they are often used on TV and film sets.
Unfortunately, we cannot advise you of this as we could easily get this wrong; however, we can offer the dimensions of each sheet so that you can work it out using these measurements. The quantities will vary depending on what you are building and its size; if unsure, please consult a roofing expert.
They can last up to 30 years or more if maintained correctly. Each panel is galvanised, which means it has a protective zinc covering.
150mm is the standard overlap for this item, which is recommended on roofs with a pitch of 10 degrees. A 300mm overlap is recommended for roof angles that are 5 degrees.
You should overlap a galvanised tin roofing sheet over another by approximately 6 inches; then follow this process to cover your roof and ensure that the panels above and to the side have the same overlap.
Each sheet is galvanised and coated in a zinc covering that protects from rust and corrosion. White rust can occur if the panels are incorrectly stored in a damp environment; however, it can be treated easily by cleaning the surface, sanding the affected areas and repainting them with a zinc primer.
Five degrees should be the minimum pitch when using these sheets. Anything below that may run the risk of water entry at the seams, or water can build up on the roof as there would not be enough drain away.
If the sheets have not been installed correctly, they will leak. If they have been fitted with the correct overlaps for the roof pitch and have been sealed, there is no reason why any leakage should occur.
Always inspect the roof first to find the source of the leak. You can implement any of the below once the cause has been located:
This is to allow water to flow freely off the sheets rather than allowing the water to sit on the surface of the sheeting.

Here are some tips on how to look after this sheeting:
This item is known for being very strong and durable, as it can withstand adverse weather and day-to-day wear and tear from exposure to the elements.
It is advised that the screw line be spaced at a certain distance apart depending on the sheet’s size, and a roofing expert will be able to confirm this. To screw them, they should always be fastened/screwed on the high seam, not the corrugation’s dipped wave (lower groove seam), as this could prevent water from flowing freely down the sheeting.
This is the wavy groove pattern that features on the sheet.
These sheets are possible to walk on; however, it is not recommended because you could fall from height or damage the roof and sheeting.
Surprisingly, no, as the sheeting reflects light and heat, which has the opposite effect of cooling your home during the hotter months. Corrugated tin roof sheets work to their environment; for example, in the winter, they should keep a building warm and then in the summer, they should cool a building down. Always use good insulation to help regulate temperatures.
No, they are not loud when the rain falls on them; however, like with any roof, you can hear noise during a downpour, but if the frame structure that the roof is fixed on is not correctly insulated, this can make the rain sound louder.
It is recommended that the purlins should be no more than 1.2 metres apart. However, each structure is different, and exact measurements may vary, so this is just a guide. It is best practice to consult a roofing expert if you are unsure.
Screws are typically used to attach the tin sheeting to purlins (roof frame) and also each other.
Yes, they can be painted, which will also offer an extra protective barrier. However, it is recommended to use an acrylic-based paint that is appropriate for outdoor use.
Acrylic-based paint or acrylic latex paint is recommended for this type of metal. Double-check when choosing the paint that it offers UV protection and is weather-resistant.
Below are some tips on how to prevent condensation:
This is a straightforward installation guide; however, you must always adhere to the manufacturer’s information booklets or consult a roofing expert.
Below are some different ways to use galvanised metal CI sheets:
It is recommended to use double-sided butyl tape to connect the sheeting and further secure them with screws along the same line the tape has been added. Also, you can use screws on the upper corrugation (high wave groove), not the dip, because that could prevent water from flowing freely.
Install a gutter system or ensure a suitable overhang so water does not drip down the walls of your property.
These sheets are already waterproof due to being galvanised, which means they have been dipped in hot zinc to protect the metal. However, it is recommended that the entire roof area be covered in sealant around all seams or areas that could potentially leak. Using waterproof paint will also offer extra protection to a roof.
There are three options to help insulate a roof, and you should pick the correct one for your particular needs:
It is highly recommended that there is an air gap when using this type of material for a roofing project.
Ensure you always screw on the rib (high groove), not the flat. This is because if a screw is installed on the flat (lower groove), it could create blockages by leaves or other debris, which in turn could prevent the free flow of water.
