The tough, economical workhorse of barn roofs and walls: corrugated and R-panel metal, screwed down with rubber washers.
Exposed-fastener panels, including corrugated and R-panel profiles, are fastened through the face with screws and rubber washers. They are strong, quick to install and economical, which is why they are the most common choice for barns, shops and farm buildings.
The trade-off is maintenance: the washers age, so fasteners should be checked every few years and replaced as needed. Quality panels, correct fastener patterns, closures and flashing make a big difference in how long the roof stays tight.

Ribs add stiffness and strength.
