How far will the panels bend? I want to do a large barn with a curved roof.

I am assuming this is an "up and over" sort of convex curve and not a "round" roof or a concave curve. Generally, for a convex curve, some of the horizontally-run "shingle-style" panels will work very well. For vertical seam panels, there is not a lot of ability to curve them on the job though some vertical panels are available pre-curved from the factory. Generally, the less configured vertical panels are easier to curve but, again, there are pretty strong restrictions on how much you can do with them. I would suggest contacting manufacturers of products you might like and sending them picture sor drawings of the roof. I would sure take a hard look at the horizontally-run products though for this type of application.
