Know your options
Three roof styles. A more informed choice.
A-frame horizontal
A peaked roof with horizontal panels for a more traditional appearance. Consider drainage, maintenance, and your property’s requirements.
A-frame vertical
A peaked roof with vertically oriented panels that help water, snow, and debris shed from the roof. Confirm the appropriate design and ratings for your site.
Adapted from United Metal Buildings’ roof guide. Roof style alone does not establish local code compliance or a particular wind or snow rating.
Plan cover around daily parking
Count the vehicles, measure their widths, and leave space to open doors and walk between them. Consider where posts will sit relative to the driveway and how vehicles enter from the street.
What to discuss in your quote
Use the metal designer to compare layouts, then confirm dimensions, roof style, anchoring, and installation access with Whitney. Describe the existing surface and any grading or concrete work you want included.
