There are 3 different roofing options available:

Plywood Roof Panels. Customer will supply their own roofing material
26 Gauge Galvalume Metal Roof Panels with cedar wood battens
Western Red Cedar Shingle Roof Panels. Shingles already secured to ½” thick plywood roof sheathing

Options

Plywood Roof System

Plywood Roof System: When you add a shed to our shopping cart the price will default to a Standard Plywood System. ½” thick plywood will be cut to size to fit properly on your rafters overhanging on front, rear and sides. Fasteners are included to secure plywood to roof rafters. You will need to purchase, at your own expense, the type of roofing material suitable – such as asphalt, metal, slate or solar.

Advantages:

More cost efficient, able to satisfy possible building department by-laws

Metal Roof System

Metal Roof System: If you have decided on our Metal Roofing System, the following materials will be included with your shed kit:

1x4 Western Red Cedar Roof Battens (cut to length)
26 gauge Drip Caps
26 gauge Galvalume Roof Panels
26 gauge Ridge Caps
All necessary hardware to attach the roofing system correctly

Metal roofs are designed to attach to roof battens. Battens are supplied and cut to fit so no dangerous and time consuming cutting will be required.
Once battens are attached, install the Galvalume drip caps to front and rear facia.
‘Galvalume’ is similar to galvanized steel and is a hot-dip process. Instead of using 100% zinc as in a galvanized roof, the dip is 55% aluminum, 43.5% zinc and 1.5% silicon, providing additional weathering protection.

Zinc bonds with the steel surface to create a barrier for corrosion-causing moisture
Aluminum naturally resists corrosion and reflects heat
Silicon enhances the adhesion of the coating, keeping it in place when the steel is rolled, stamped or bent

Simply lift and secure precut Galvalume Roof Panels onto battens and secure with included self tapping screws.
Galvalume weighs 100 to 150 pounds per 100 square feet and contains about 35% recycled steel post-consumer content.

To complete, place Galvalume Ridge Cap on the apex of the shed and secure with supplied fasteners.

Western Red Cedar Shingle Roof System

Western Red Cedar Shingle Roof System: If you have decided on our Western Red Cedar Roofing System, the following materials will be included with your shed kit:

Western Red Cedar Shingle Panels. Cedar Shingles will be already attached to the ½” plywood roof sheathing. Roofing paper will be included between plywood and shingles to prevent water penetration
Seam Filler Shingles – our proprietary designed Filler Shingles are included to be attached to roof panels to create a seamless and tight roof
Western Red Cedar Roof Ridge Caps
All necessary hardware to attach the roofing system correctly

Shingles will have a 6 ½” exposure to prevent premature cupping and deterioration of the shingle.

Simply lift each panel up and place on roof rafters. Attach each panel and then position our proprietary filler shingle in roof seams.

To complete, position roof ridge caps on roof apex and attach with supplied fasteners.

Liftgate Delivery

If you ordered a liftgate delivery:

The driver will take your skid to the back of the truck, place it on the liftgate, lower it to the ground and place it next to the truck.

Use the plastic shipping tarp to cover and protect your pieces until you are ready start your project. When finished using it for this…repurpose it!
If liftgated down, take a minute or two to cut the straps and pull off the tarp. Check for corner damages, wood chips, sharp cuts and gouges in the product and if the pallet is broken.

Hand Offload Only:

If you did NOT order Liftgate Delivery, you will have to hand offload:

The driver will take your skid to the back of the truck, cut the straps and hand the pieces down to you. Most individual pieces weigh no more than 30-50 lbs.

There is a time limit of 15-20 free minutes so it is best to have someone there to assist you.
If hand offloading, briefly check all the pieces as they are handed to you.

On the Day of the Delivery

On the morning of the delivery, call the carrier to confirm your shipment is on schedule. Carriers typically deliver between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. - make sure you are present or have someone available to receive the shipment.
Make sure your delivery location is easily accessible to the truck and driver. Move vehicles if necessary. Drivers are not allowed to deliver freight that they deem dangerous to themselves or that may damage your property etc.

When the Truck Arrives:

While the unit is still in the truck, confirm the shipping label has your name, address and is the correct product. If not, call us immediately.

Damages - IMPORTANT

At the time of delivery, DO NOT SIGN until you have inspected the freight! Look inside the truck to make sure the unit is not damaged before unloading.
Occasionally the driver will be in a rush and want you to sign quickly. It is your right to take a few minutes to inspect the freight.
If you notice any damages, please make the notation ‘damaged’ on the delivery receipt upon signing for the receipt of the goods. Take pictures of anything you think looks like damage, including the pallet and call our Customer support line at 1-888-658-1658.
If there is damage, it is usually quicker and easier to send replacement pieces.
It is our policy to replace any broken or damaged pieces immediately and to your satisfaction if this notation is shown on both yours and the carrier's copy of the proof of delivery.
Remember - You do not have to accept the freight! If your freight shows catastrophic damage, ie – not on a pallet or with multiple pieces broken and sticking out and without our plastic wrap, you can refuse the delivery. Please call our customer support line at 1-888-658-1658 immediately so we can advise you how to proceed.
