I am building a barn and intend to put a metal roof on it. The barn has a 7 / 12 roof pitch and 4 by 4 purlins on 26 inch centers (yes 4 by 4, they are structural). Installing the roof should be no problem but once it is up can I safely walk on it in order to install the ridge cap? The roofing I am looking at is 26 gauge with 3/4 inch ribs on 9 inch centers with two smaller ribs inbetween each.

Contact the manufacturer for walking instruction. Always wear a safety harness and rope. Products like Cougar Paws or Korkers can be helpful for shoe slip resistance.
