When it comes to what Metal Roofing Sheets to use for sheds and stables we probably overlook the importance of this aspect, yet it is one of the main parts of the structure as the roof will need to protect contents that are stored in there but also animals. Stables give shelter to horses and in some parts of the country this can be a very expensive asset.
What ever type of roofing sheets you choose to use it needs to be very resistant to weather. In this blog we are going to look at the types of roofing sheets available.
WHAT TYPE OF SHEET TO USE ?

Metal Roofing Sheets
Metal Roofing Sheets are weather- resistant and very durable.They are a perfect choice for agricultural buildings and domestic sheds. This type of roofing sheet is available in many profiles and colours. They range from Box Profile Sheets, Corrugated Roofing sheets and Tile Effect Roof Sheets.
One of the most popular metal roofing sheets to use are Box Profile Sheets. They give a traditional look on stables and barns. Available in three finishes of plain galvanised, polyester paint and plastisol coated. There are two different thickness of sheet in 0.5mm and 0.7mm. Both have the option to add an anti-condensation backing.
Box Profile Metal Roofing Sheets
- Low maintenance
- Long lasting Weather resistant
- High levels of water run off compared with bitumen sheets
The two different thickness options are down to choice but we recommend the 0.7mm for the Roofing Sheets and 0.5mm for the Wall Sheets.
In terms of coating plain galvanised metal roofing sheets are the cheaper option as they are not protected with a coating. This will in time start to rust after a few years.
Polyester paint is the next option. This is a powder-coat finish that will protect the Roof Sheets for 10-15 years without starting to corrode. Colour options for this finish are Juniper green, Goose-wing grey, Black, Slate blue and Anthracite.
Plastisol is the final option. This coating is the best you can buy in terms of protection. The coating is a leather grain finish and is available in Black, Goose-wing grey, Anthracite, Slate blue, Terracotta, Olive green, Juniper green and Merlin Grey.
Dripstop backing membrane can be added to all metal roofing sheets.
