Pro Tip

Horizontal vs. Vertical Panels

Horizontal panels are more cost-effective, but they hold water, snow, ice, and debris because the ridges run end to end. Vertical panels always last longer because they shed everything quickly and easily. If your building is longer than 35', vertical is the only way to go.
