Hi fellas-
I'm planning on building a small (12 x 22) shed to house some snowmobiles for a few years until I get enough time and money to guild a bigger garage. I would like to use metal roof panels for the roof. I am curious if they can be fastened directly to roof rafters which will be spaced 16" on center. From what I have read, it looks like most people lay down a few 2 x4's perpendicular to the roof rafters and then fasten the metal roofing to those. Any advice is appreciated.
This thing will be relegated to a firewood shed after a few years, so I'm not looking to build this thing to the max durability, although of course I want it to be safe. Thanks in advance for any tips!
