On a set of plans, the material call out for a carport roof is 22"x120" plexlam corrugated sheets. I cannot find a reference to plexlam from a google search. What is a more common name for this material?

There are a bunch of different corrugated metal manufacturers and suppliers. I would check with the architect and get them to specify a set of plans that can be sourced. Eric Novotny

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, contact with the architect is no longer possible. So all we have now is that note on the approved plans, an that is all that the note says. I will wait a bit and see if anyone else had an idea on the material.

Jon, If you can't track it down, the only thing 99% of the builders are going to be looking for is a product that is rated for the project. On a carport, any corrugated metal panel is going to work just fine. Eric Novotny
