I am talking about a vertical lap, the width between two ribs (9") The lap would be 9" wide by 17'-6" along the slope of roof.

Metal is the way to go! Thanks for your reply.

I'm sorry ... I am not clear. Are you referring to a horizontal lap or a vertical lap?

I would suggest running a bead of sealant along the exposed edge just to help prevent a lot of water from running in there and getting "stuck". However, I do not think you will have any negative ramifications form this. Thanks for choosing metal!

I am installing an exposed fastener raised rib metal roof with a 9/12 pitch. The width of the roof worked out so that if i lapped a panel 9" I would not have to trim the panel. I am concerned about premature panel or fastener failure due to possible capillary action drawing water up between the panels where this lap is. Would appreciate comments on this issue.
