Roof Dimensions

Time to order the roofing. The roof dimensions are shown in the image at right.
  • Length: 37'
  • Width: 19'
  • Depth: 13 1/4''
  • Horizontal overhang (gables and eaves): 18''
  • Support height: 11' 6''
  • Fascia: Raked, 13 1/4''
  • Soffits: Raked, 13 1/4''

We are going with SuperVic metal roofing from VicWest ordered from Rona in Cowansville, (manufactured in Victoriaville, Qc.) with a Galvalume finishing, a metallic finish similar to zinc galvanized steel, but with some extra aluminum in it. It has a slightly less shiny look.

For some reason, the local Frelighsburg code allows a Galvalume finish, and not a regular galvanized finish (that's only allowed on "agricultural" buildings). It's the same price, so it's not a big deal, but on principle I will bring this up at the next town meeting as a somewhat obscure code item.
