I've been evaluating metal roof systems for a residence in Washington state. In looking at many applications I am concerned about the oil-canning or buckling that seems common. I have been unable to get a clear answer about whether this is a function of incorrent installation or whether some roofing companies have a product that has less tendency to this flaw. If anyone can answer this question I would appreciate it! Elaine

Many things can contribute to this -- it is a pretty complex thing. If you go to this website http://www.metalconstruction.org/pubs/pdf/95-1060%20MCAoilcanning.pdf You can download the Metal Construction Association's Technical Bulletin on oilcanning which does a good job of explaining oilcanning.
