What type of flat metal roof to be used as porch deck? | Ask The Experts Forum

Guest User 9/15/2016	Hello, we are replacing our flat seam metal roof which has a railing at perimeter and was used as a porch on the second floor. What type of metal roof is best for use as a porch floor that will have furniture sitting on it and people walking on it? Roofing contractor is recommending copper. I feel it is to soft. Thank you.
