Sorry I just about overlooked this. We simply use regular metal roofing--like ag buildings etc. Ribs are 9" On center 38 inches wide and covers 36". Another trick of the trade is this steel is sold per square. Every 18 sheets as a general rule you pay for a sheet you don't get because it is sold by sq ft. Not actual sq ft of coverage. Some places sell it per sheet...so long, then you know the up front price. Many times estamates in home owners head do not reflect the actual cost. You pay for two inches on each sheet that is lapped under...
Often guage is the salemans selling point, however that is like saying a screwdriver from china that is 1/2" in diameter is stronger than a snap on that is 1/4" in diameter. Tensile strength is important as well as the rib configuration. If you know a I beam on edge is 100 times stronger than if you lay it on its side, or at a 45% angle.
It is almost impossible to hire elves to walk on the roofs while installing them.
