Tin Roofing

[eddiememphis]

Building an outdoor kitchen for my sister. She wants the old fashioned tin roofing on it. The wavy zinc galvanized type- shed roof. I am having trouble finding it. Anyone know where I can get some?

Lowes has some but it's not the style she wants.

The roof is six feet deep and ten feet wide so six foot sheets would be perfect but I can cut them if necessary.

Can you have her find a picture of what she wants?

You might want to check Murdoch's or a non-bigbox lumberyard.

Try searching for corrugated tin roofing panels

If you are on the north side, try Stockyard Supply in Commerce city at 70th & HWY 85.

ETA: Or, while/if you are in that area, you might try the Ace Hardware near there (right down the street).

I would probably focus on the style, rather than the material, because it's all going to be steel. Copper and aluminum are available, but they'll both be riddled with dents right away from hail. Steel gets dented as well, just not as fast, especially if you installed it directly over decking.
Here are some search terms:
Corrugated
Ribbed
Standing seam

Believe me, I have done searches and made many calls. Metal supply doesn't carry it, roofers don't use it any more.

MB504, I showed that to her and she wants to look at it. Not what she had in mind but hopefully I can talk her into it.

Uncle Benny's in Loveland has some but it's painted.

She may be out of luck. If they don't make it anymore, tell her there is probably a good reason.

It's expensive to manufacture @ quality. Not like the soda can swill of today.

Most stuff I run into is .26 gauge and factory painted. That holds up well, but isn't impervious to wind/hail damage for sure.

Ask her if she'd like something nice from DaVinci.

Diverting her attention?

Irving is right. Wish I could help you find a product that rusts, if that's what she wants. I built our home with steel columns and electro-painted galvanized steel siding and roofing. It was featured in a building magazine for it's innovative design. No rust, and maintenance (paint) free for 27 years, so far.

Something like this?

They do offer numerous color options for paint. If she's not interested in painting have someone else do it. Between the paint and used at UB's she'd probably be in to the roof for less than 1/2 of new materials, alone.

Of course CL and FB marketplace always have used building materials for sale, or free, you haul ad's

We have built several sheds, leanto's and barns out of the stock they have on hand.

If we have enough I will post pics and PM you.
