Roof Shed

A shed style roof, also known as a lean-to roof, is a roof that slopes down in one direction. It is flat with a steep slope.

What is the shed roof?

Sheds are metal structures with sloping roofs that are used for sports halls, warehouses, airplane hangars, industrial halls, etc. Covering sheds in the industry is generally divided into two categories: shed roof and shed body. One of the most important parts in building sheds is the roof covering of these metal structures. Due to the high importance of this part of the shed, it is necessary for engineers to pay special attention to it during construction. There are different coverings for the roof of the sheds. The most suitable type of cover for each shed should be chosen according to its usage.

Advantages of using sandwich panels for shed roofs

As the biggest advantage of using sandwich panel to cover the roof of sheds, we can mention the relatively high resistance of this material against external events and earthquakes. Among its other positive features, we can mention the high quality of the insulating foam that is placed between the steel sheets. This foam can well insulate the shed from the point of view of heat, cold and sound.

Ceiling and wall sandwich panel is a type of prefabricated material. This feature helps to increase the speed of project execution. If sandwich panels are used to cover the roof of the shed, the roof covering is installed and implemented in a short period of time, while the construction of the roof of the sheds with other materials may take longer. Increasing the speed of the project, as a result, reduces the time and costs related to the construction of the roof.

Sandwich panel to cover the shed roof

Sandwich panel can be considered one of the most popular coverings for shed roofs. The roof sandwich panel is widely used to build the roof of sheds with different uses. In these sandwich ceiling panels, an insulation layer is placed between two metal sheets. The best insulation layer for the roof sandwich panel is polystyrene insulation foam. Polystyrene insulation material is placed between two layers of sinusoidal steel sheet to make a high volume and light weight shed roof sandwich panel.

One of the main reasons for using polystyrene insulation to cover the shed roof is the good insulating power of this foam. Polystyrene is a good insulator for moisture, heat and sound. This insulating foam shows high resistance against the stresses caused by wind, storms and earthquakes, therefore, in addition to its light weight, it is considered the best roof covering for sheds.

Construction of shed roof with galvanized sheet

The use of galvanized sheets is one of the other methods of building a shed roof. The construction of steel and iron structures has always been associated with a big challenge, and that is corrosion and rusting of iron or steel. Therefore, to prevent this problem, galvanized sheet is used in steel structures. Today, galvanized sheets are known as one of the most effective coatings for steel structures. To make these galvanized sheets, the steel sheet is coated with zinc metal and in this way it is resistant to corrosion and rust.

Galvanized sheets are produced in factories and sold in the form of fabric and foam rolls. The most suitable type of this sheet is selected according to its use. It should be noted that galvanized sheets will not rust even after the metal they are covered with is broken or destroyed. Galvanized sheets have many applications in various industries, but in general, this sheet can be used wherever there is a need to control the corrosion of iron and steel.

Covering the roof of the shed with polycarbonate sheet

Polycarbonate is a transparent material that can replace glass. This material has a high diversity and this is the reason why it can be used in different structures. One of the cases for which polycarbonate can be used is covering the roof of sheds. Polycarbonate with different thicknesses is used to build the roof of sheds with this material. To make polycarbonate sheets that can be used as roof coverings for sheds, sandwich panels and galvanized sheets are used.

This action is done in order to reduce the costs of sealing the roof of the sheds. Note that the use of polycarbonate sheets to cover the roof of a shed should be appropriate to the use of that shed; In some sheds, it may be necessary to use more resistant sheets such as sandwich panels. Polycarbonate sheet is generally used to cover the roof of the following sheds:

  • Sports sheds
  • Sheds used as storage.
  • Store sheds
  • Livestock sheds
  • Greenhouse sheds

Advantages of using galvanized sheet to cover shed roof

  • High resistance to decay and rust
  • Has a long life
  • Proper coverage
  • Affordable price
  • Low maintenance and repair costs
  • Resistant to external and mechanical damage

 In addition to covering the roof of the shed, galvanized sheets can also be used in other industries such as automobile manufacturing, household appliances, and construction.

Sheds that are used as public parking lots.

The advantages of using polycarbonate to build the shed roof

One of the positive advantages of using these sheets to cover the roof of a shed is the optimization of energy consumption, seeking more efficient use of sunlight. The high transparency of polycarbonate sheet, its good resistance and impact resistance are also among the other advantages of using polycarbonate sheet. Polycarbonate sheet has anti-ultraviolet layers, so it can prevent harmful radiation from the sun. This feature of polycarbonate sheets makes it suitable for covering the roof of greenhouse sheds. Polycarbonate sheets have a variety of colors and its use can give a beautiful effect to the facade of the shed.

Carton plastic shed roof covering

Most of the sheds built in Iran use this type. Cartonplast is one of the modern sheets that has the following features:

  • It has various colors and can cover many tastes.
  • Due to its modernity, it is an excellent option for covering the shed roof.
  • Its width is 2000 mm and its thickness is between 2 and 14 mm.
  • It is flexible and recyclable.
  • It has a high resistance factor against physical and chemical shocks.
  • Covering the roof of the fiberglass shed

Fiberglass is made from the combination of oil and glass wool. It is a light product that can be used to cover the roof of the shed. In fact, it is a composite with glass fibers and polymer materials. Glass wool has the function of reinforcement and polymer materials also have the function of basic materials in the production of this product, due to the different designs and colors, it is economically placed at an affordable level.

 

Covering the roof with colored sheets

The colored sheets that can be used to cover the roof of the shed are the same galvanized sheets that are painted in special ovens. Steel sheets are produced in two ways: cold rolling and hot rolling. In hot rolling, industrial black sheets are made, and in cold rolling, colored oil sheets are made.

Choosing cheap shed roof covering according to shed application

As you read a little while ago, different materials can be used to cover the roof of sheds, but choosing the most suitable one depends on the use of the shed. If the shed is going to be placed in the cold room environment, its roof must be sandwich panel. For sheds that are a place to store sanitary products or food, the best roof covering is cardboard plastic or insulated sandwich panels.

The best roof covering for sheds that need to be washed constantly (livestock and slaughterhouse sheds) is the insulation layer of glass wool and cardboard sheet or roof covering. Other types of shed roof covering, such as chicken netting along with sinusoidal sheets, are more suitable for workshop sheds or sheds that are used for storage.

The importance of using shed roof covering

After the installation of the shed frame and the implementation of the foundation is finished, the roof of the shed is the most important part. Various materials are used to produce this coating, which can be chosen differently according to the geographical area and the type of use of the shed.

A large part of the work of the shed is on its roof. For this reason, the roof of the shed has a great effect on the weight and construction of the light shed. In fact, a light shed is a shed in which all the materials used are of high quality and light weight. In the construction of a light shed, all things should be considered, including the foundation of the shed, the skeleton, the covering of the walls and the covering of the roof.

As mentioned, the shed roof has a great impact on other parts, which should be taken into consideration after construction. Therefore, you should choose a type of shed that has the highest possible level in terms of quality and durability.

Effective factors on roof covering of sheds

  • Low and light weight for sheds where lightness is important.
  • Ease of installation and the possibility of reuse in the construction of other sheds
  • Insulation against heat and heat
  • Fast installation
  • Saving construction schedule, employee salary cost, material cost, etc.
  • Easy repairs
  • External and internal beauty
  • Resistance to decay, corrosion and moisture
  • sound insulation
  • The price and cost of installing the shed roof cover

     Stone wool:

 the insulating power of this material is 33 times that of concrete walls and 22 times that of brick walls. Rock wool has a low heat transfer coefficient and can prevent the spread of flames.

Why is the appearance pattern of shed roof covering sheets different?

You must have seen that the roofs of sheds have different patterns. These patterns are generally produced in the form of congressional, wavy, flat, etc. In addition, by grooving the sandwich panel sheets as well as shutter sheets, their resistance to the loads will increase.

The best type of roof covering in the shed

In any case, choose any roof covering of the shed, it has its own advantages and disadvantages. The best choice happens when it is done according to the location of the shed and its use. In Iran, the criterion for choosing most sheds is protection against heat inside the shed, and sandwich panels are the best choice in this case. In cases where cost is the criterion, corrugated sheet and chicken net will be a good choice.

Maintenance of shed roof covering

The best time to clean and repair shed roof covering is every 6 months. This will prevent their decay and wear. Due to the variable percentage of industrial pollutants, this number may be higher or lower. Also, in areas where there is more rain, the shed roof cover does not need to be washed.

 

Shed roof insulation

The roof insulation operation must be done from the inside so that after the outer layer, the role of insulation is very important. According to the different use of sheds, their insulation type is also different.

Waste glass insulation: This insulation is produced from mineral fibers and recycled materials and is in the form of fine, needle-shaped threads. It can withstand heat up to 500 degrees, therefore it is a suitable option for fire resistance. Due to insulation against heat, less energy will be wasted.

Stone wool: the temperature tolerance of this insulation is between minus 30 and plus 750 degrees and it will melt at the point of 1300 degrees. It also has a very low heat transfer coefficient. This product has 33 times the insulation power of a concrete wall and 22 times that of a brick wall. Metal structures lose their physical resistance against fire, so rock wool insulation is the best option for covering the shed roof.

Foam: one of the industries of metal derivatives that is combined with gas and becomes spongy. Foams have hard and soft types, different densities and weights, which are used according to their characteristics. Polyethylene foam, polyurethane and polystyrene are types of foams. Thermal and sound insulation is produced with thickness of 10, 20 and 30, width of one meter and length of 50 meters for insulation and roof covering.

Shed installation and its important points

As we have mentioned many times, covering the roof of the shed is very important, so naturally, you should get help from experienced installers in the construction of sheds. Because all the equipment and service sheds must have a suitable cover and high resistance against natural disasters in order to prevent possible damage to the facilities inside.

Since the design and construction of sheds are very important, there are many companies that provide services in this field. This company employs professional and expert people and hires an experienced staff to implement and cover the roof of the shed so that all the work is done in the utmost professionalism.

Do not forget to consult with experienced people. The choice of covering the roof of the shed should be consistent with the material used, climatic and geographical conditions, and the budget in order to finally achieve the desired performance. In addition to the above, it is very important that the roof has the ability to be moved because this has made the implementation of the roof of the shed to be accelerated and the cost of the work will be reduced with the speed of the work.

 

Important factors in the cost of the shed roof

Many factors can overshadow the cost of building a shed roof. Among these factors, we can refer to the square footage of the shed, the slope percentage of the shed, the type of roof covering and other factors. Also, the presence or absence of an opening, ceiling monitor and the shape of the shed plan play an important role in determining the cost of building the shed.

Buy the cheapest shed roof

The price of the roof of the shed is determined according to several factors such as the material of the roof and the type of roof covering. In the construction of sheds, one of the important things is to reduce the costs related to the construction of the roof of the shed. Lowering the costs related to the installation of the roof, reducing the operational costs and reducing the manpower involved in the work can all reduce the costs of building the roof of the shed.
