A practical guide for fundis, contractors and serious DIY builders — from measuring to finishing.
Measure each slope: rafter length × wall plate width. Add 5–10% for overlaps and waste.
Corrugated for budget, Box Profile or Versatile for premium look. Gauge 30 is standard.
Confirm sheet count, length, ridges, valleys, flashings and roofing screws/nails.
Purlin spacing typically 600–900 mm, depending on gauge and span.
Start from the leeward end. Side-lap one full corrugation; end-lap at least 150 mm.
Fix at every second corrugation on purlins, with rubber-washered screws for box profile.
Cap the apex with ridges. Seal walls and gables with flashings to prevent leaks.
Walk the roof carefully, tighten loose fasteners, clear all metal off-cuts to avoid rust stains.
