Common Applications
Agricultural panels are used for barns, equipment storage, residential, and outbuildings, offering a durable and cost-effective solution for both roofing and siding.
Barns & Livestock Buildings
Built to handle tough agricultural environments, these panels provide durable protection for livestock while standing up to weather, moisture, and daily farm use.
Residential and Household
Create functional, long-lasting spaces with panels that are quick to install and built to handle everyday wear and tear.
Machine Storage
Keep valuable equipment protected from the elements with a strong, low-maintenance metal solution designed for long-term reliability.
Installation Guidelines & Best Practices
Our agricultural panels are easy to install on both roofs and walls. For best results, pre-drill near edges, avoid overtightening screws, and allow for natural expansion.
Important Considerations
To get the best performance from your panels, keep the following in mind:
Proper roof slope, quality underlayment, and correctly driven metal-roofing fasteners are essential. Keep panel ribs aligned and side-laps overlapped as specified, finish all edges with the matching trim and flashing, and seal every penetration. In snow-prone areas, add snowstops where falling snow could be a risk. Always allow for expansion and contraction so the panels can move with temperature changes.
Installation & Roof Pitch
These panels are versatile and perform well across a wide range of building types, from agricultural structures and post-frame buildings to workshops.
Fastening System
Agricultural panels use an exposed fastener system, making them straightforward to install and maintain.
