Roofing - Fiberglass Composite Ribbed Panels


Expert: Michael J. Owen - 7/6/2009

Question
I have several barns and sheds to build and roof.  I have an opportunity to purchase what they call INDUSTRIAL GRADE ROOFING FIBERGLASS Composite embossed finish light Stone color. Hi rib profile.  I can't find anything on this type of roof. Will cover 35' x 12' area.for $300.00
 What questions do I need to ask, and if it a good deal, does it need a solid roof to install on, or can it be done on stringers, 4' on center?
 Thank you

Answer
Hi Alan. To be perfectly honest, I have no clue what this product might be. However, I think it may be a rolled product and would need a plywood decking to lay over. Perhaps you could ask the seller to send you  a few pictures of it and forward them on to me to examine. To have a roof covering of any sort for 71 cents a square foot is a good sounding deal.
Hope to hear from you later.
