    Most stuff I run into is .26 gauge and factory painted. That holds up well, but isn't impervious to wind/hail damage for sure.

    Ask her if she'd like something nice from DaVinci.

    Here are some search terms:

    Ribbed
    Standing seam
    Irving is right. Wish I could help you find a product that rusts, if that's what she wants. I built our home with steel columns and electro-painted galvanized steel siding and roofing. It was featured in a building magazine for it's innovative design. No rust, and maintenance (paint) free for 27 years, so far.

    MB504, I showed that to her and she wants to look at it. Not what she had in mind but hopefully I can talk her into it.

    Uncle Benny's in Loveland has some but it's painted.
    They do offer numerous color options for paint. If she's not interested in painting have someone else do it. Between the paint and used at UB's she'd probably be in to the roof for less than 1/2 of new materials, alone.

    Of course CL and FB marketplace always have used building materials for sale, or free, you haul ad's

    The roof is six feet deep and ten feet wide so six foot sheets would be perfect but I can cut them if necessary.
    I will check later today, we may have enough in our left over pile to do a 6x10.

    If we have enough I will post pics and PM you.
