Guest User 11/5/2008	Dan, I have been able to adjust the rear stations on my rollformer to make panels that run vertically and radiused to fix the leaks on my neighbors hoop barns. I am in South Dakota and it seems to be a common problem.	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/12292/find/
Guest User 11/6/2008	sounds workable. so these would be costom formed for any building on the job? this building is offsight overflow storage for a hospital so looking for cost effective solution. do you mean local contractors should be able to form onsight panels? i was looking to find products to specify for bidding process but sounds like i just need a good metal fabricator/installer?! thanks for any info.....

Guest User 11/6/2008	Dan , I think that the proper way to do it would to have mechanically seamed panels radiused on the job with a curving machine but I found it to be cost prohibitive for these old quonset barns so I tried adjusting my rear stations on my zimmerman rollformer with snap lock clipped system and it worked good. The neighbors barn no longer leaks and I have more to do. They probably could just have done the top 1/3 as that is where I believe most of the water was leaking since the top is flatter but they are choosing to do the whole barn. The clipped system allows for expansion and contraction. I hope this info helps you. John	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/12294/find/
