Will trapezoidal sheets fit well on a carport roof?

Trapezoidal sheets are one of the most popular roofing materials for a reason. Trapezoidal roofing is not only used on single-family homes, businesses, commercial buildings or garages, but also on carports.

Trapezoidal sheet roof for carport:

• It is the cheapest roofing on the market and its installation will lead to significant savings;
• it is durable and resistant to mechanical damage, weather and corrosion;
• it is very light, so it can be installed even on a weaker truss or small structure;
• is available in many variants - you can choose its profile, size, colour and protective coating to perfectly match the overlay to your shed.

All this makes the trapezoidal sheet metal shed an ideal solution that will last for many years. Choosing the right solution is the key to success, and we are happy to help.

Which trapezoidal sheet to use for the shed roof? Pay attention to the material and profile!

The best trapezoidal sheets are made of high-quality steel, which guarantees its rigidity and durability. The steel core combined with the appropriate protective coating results in a canopy cover that will remain aesthetic and functional after many years of use.
If you are considering which trapezoidal sheet to choose for your roof, pay attention not only to its material, but also to its profile. There is a wide variety of solutions on the market for different types of structures and buildings. For awnings, low trapezoidal profiles are the most suitable.

The most recommended solutions are:

• Trapezoidal sheet T-14 (profile 14 mm high) - ideal for low pitch roofs, as well as roofs of smaller buildings (not only for sheds, but also for garages and pergolas, 1);
• trapezoidal sheet T-18 (profile 18 mm high) - an extremely versatile solution, suitable for smaller and larger sheds, as well as for halls, commercial buildings, livestock buildings and garages;
• trapezoidal sheet T-20 (20 mm high profile) - most commonly used for residential, commercial and industrial roofs, but can also be used for awnings (including those with a larger surface area).

What is the difference between trapezoidal sheet T-18 and T-35? Of course, the profile sizes - those with a height of 35 mm (and more) - are mainly used for roofs with large areas, such as single and multi-family houses, commercial buildings or warehouse halls.

trapezoidal sheets metal and roofing dimensions

Another issue worth paying attention to is awnings trapezoidal sheet dimensions. When choosing the right solution, you need to distinguish between two problems:

• the actual size of the sheet metal, i.e. what you can measure with a tape measure;
• effective width, i.e. the value that informs how many sheets should be purchased to cover the roof, taking into account the overlaps required.

Trapezoidal sheets can be cut to size, so adjusting their parameters should not be a problem. If you are unsure, it is worth seeking professional advice.

Sheet metal protection - ensure the durability of your carport

Not only the material of the covering, but also its protection, has a significant impact on the durability of the roof and thus the entire shelter. Trapezoidal steel sheets are coated with various protective coatings, such as polyester or polyurethane, which increase the product's resistance to external factors, corrosion and mechanical damage.

If you want to buy a long-lasting trapezoidal sheet for your carport, we particularly recommend solutions with protective coatings such as:

• Pladur® Wrinkle Mat Plus;
• Colorcoat HPS 200 Ultra®;
• SUPERIOR HB;
• Super Polyester R-MAT;
