Galvanized Metal in Bays

[wrightwash]

Is anyone using Galvanized roofing metal in their bays? I was thinking of using this overhead in our bays to cover up exposed trusses.

I've also considered using PVC wallboard similar to the attached link. Any feedback on this?

A lot of the companies that form the metal roofing can also roll it out of aluminum sheet. I just did a bay ceiling with the aluminum sheet and it looks good.

One of my washes has R panel for the roof and the walls. Has held up well over time considering its approx. 15-20 years old. I purchased the wash 3 years ago and we use straight muratic acid to wash the walls about every 2 months and still holding up.

We use bright white metal roofing on the ceiling of our washes. It's heard up well in the last 38 years. It goes up fast. They are 15' or 20' long.

Thanks! Are you using galvanized or just standard metal?

Good to hear! Have you had any issues with rust?

Nope, no rust. We just clean them about once a year with presoak.

That looks great! If you don't mind me asking, what was your cost per sheet?

I believe it was $2.50 a liner foot for a sheet it 3 feet wide.
