To CUT or not to ...: "We are installing a metal roof over Roofing Paper on ..." - Jeanna Robledo (6/20/2017) | Installation

We are installing a metal roof over Roofing Paper on a 18' x 25' garage. We don't plan on using furring strip, but install right to the existing roofing. Our question concerns the length of sheets to use. 1) Each side of roof is 10'3", with recommended 2" overhang, 10'5". Which option would be best: a) Buy 12' sheets and cut them b) Buy 8' sheets and overlap them c) Put up the Ridge and hope the overlay is enough ( 14" spread on ridge ) Thanks	Jeanna Robledo 6/20/2017	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/22187/find/
I would avoid horizontal laps if at all possible. Sounds like 12' panels are the way to go.	Todd Miller Isaiah Industries, Inc. 6/20/2017	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/22188/find/
Thank you. I am hoping to find someone to cut them to size then.	Guest User 6/21/2017	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/22189/find/
