pole barn

Hello, I am building a roof for a pole barn that has 8 isosceles triangles for the roof. 30 ft long rafters that tie into a center post that is 22 ft tall about. my pitch is 7:12 and it is all framed out with 2x6's every 2 ft going down the rafter. I was told i could use 26 gauge metal roofing without using any decking...by several metal supply stores and a couple contractors. I am still not sure if this is sufficient enough for a 120 lb per sq ft snowload? I could use as many opinions as possible. thanks		brittany morgan 7/19/2011	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/16140/find/
Yes, this is feasible. However I strongly encourage you to contact the actual manufacturer of the product you will be installing and make sure it is tested and rated for this use. You will also want a copy of their load table for the product to ensure you have adequate battens and spacing,		Todd Miller Isaiah Industries, Inc. 7/19/2011	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/16141/find/
+1 Each manufacturer will have their own engineering specs for snow load on each given installation method. I would definitely check with them first to confirm their maximums.
