Metal roof being ordered today.

What did you pay per linear foot? Last I bought was about $1.80 or so for the standard 5 rib, but that was a couple of years back. I need more before Spring, but I haven't priced it yet after the steel mess.

I paid $2.88 a linear foot. Don't forget all the other trim/screws that completes the job, that'll boost the final price tag. I live in Washington state, so on top of high construction costs, add another 10% for state/local taxes (They can never have enough taxes here).

Why did you weld to the side of the container instead of resting the beams on top of the container and then welding them in place there?

We used 20’ 8 inch purlin. Fit perfect in the space. We welded Clips to the containers to hold the purlin..
Again... On a poor boy budget...
