26 Gauge Corrugated Steel Panels
All panels in this category are 26 gauge painted galvanized steel — approximately 0.018 inches thick. That gauge is the industry standard for residential and light commercial metal roofing in California. It is strong enough to span typical purlin spacing of 24 inches on center, resistant to denting from hail and foot traffic during installation, and rigid enough to resist the oil-canning effect that thinner gauges can show on long panels.
Each panel measures 36 inches overall width and provides approximately 33 inches of installed coverage after the standard one-corrugation side lap. That 33-inch coverage figure is what you use to calculate the number of panels your project needs: measure the roof run in inches, divide by 33, and round up to the next whole number. For a 20-foot-wide roof, for example, you need approximately eight panels per row.
Available Colors
All six colors are stocked in most lengths. The painted galvanized finish gives each panel a consistent, UV-resistant appearance that holds color well under California sun. Colors available:
Dark Gray — neutral tone that works on residential, commercial, and agricultural buildings
Brown — earthy finish that blends well with natural surroundings and wood structures
White — reflects solar heat effectively; popular for garages, shops, and carports
Matte Black — modern appearance for fences, accent walls, and contemporary builds
Blue — traditional barn and shed color; also used on storage buildings and utilities
Forest Green — natural-looking finish for rural properties, barns, and outbuildings
Color-matched ridge caps, L flashing, and inside corner flashing are available in the same six colors so your installation has a consistent, finished appearance from peak to drip edge.
Available Lengths
Choosing the right panel length reduces waste and labor. Use the longest panel that fits your roof run without requiring a horizontal lap joint. Horizontal laps add installation time and require butyl tape or sealant to waterproof. Where possible, run a single panel from eave to ridge rather than lapping two shorter panels.
6ft panels — sheds, dog kennels, short roof sections, accent walls
8ft panels — standard shed roofs, small garages, short carport bays
10ft panels — medium garages, workshops, 8-foot ceiling buildings with overhang
12ft panels — standard residential garage bays, most single-story residential roofs
14ft panels — steeper residential roofs, tall garages, barn lean-tos
16ft panels — two-story lean-tos, tall commercial bays, long agricultural runs
18ft panels — large agricultural buildings, commercial warehouses
20ft panels — long clear-span buildings, wide commercial roofs
22ft panels — maximum standard length; covers most single-run residential and commercial applications
Applications in Sacramento and Northern California
Corrugated 26 gauge steel panels are used throughout the Sacramento Valley, Sierra foothills, and Northern California for a wide range of residential, commercial, and agricultural applications:
Home roofing — new construction and reroofing in Sacramento, Citrus Heights, Roseville, Elk Grove, and surrounding cities
Garages and carports — freestanding and attached structures throughout the region
Sheds and outbuildings — tool sheds, storage sheds, garden structures
Barns and agricultural buildings — hay barns, equipment storage, livestock shelters in the Central Valley and foothills
Metal siding — the same panels used for roofing also work for exterior wall cladding
Privacy fences and gates — corrugated metal privacy fencing is popular in Sacramento for both residential and commercial properties
Patio covers and pergolas — affordable roofing material for covered outdoor spaces
Why Metal Roofing for California
Northern California’s climate makes metal roofing a practical choice. Sacramento summers regularly reach 100°F or higher; a reflective metal roof reduces solar heat gain and helps lower cooling costs compared to dark asphalt shingles. Winter brings steady rain through the Central Valley — corrugated metal sheds water immediately with no absorption, unlike asphalt, wood, or clay tile. Metal panels also carry a Class A fire rating and resist wind-driven embers, which matters in wildfire-prone foothill communities like Auburn, Folsom, and El Dorado Hills.
With proper installation and color-matched trim and fasteners, a 26 gauge galvanized steel roof can last 40 to 70 years — far beyond the 15-to-25-year service life typical of asphalt shingles in California’s UV-intense environment.
What You Need for a Complete Installation
Panels alone are not enough for a watertight installation. A properly finished metal roof also requires:
Ridge caps to seal the peak of a gable roof
2×2 L flashing for eave drip edges and wall connections
Inside corner flashing for rake edges and inside corners
Roofing screws with rubber sealing washers — typically one screw per corrugation valley at each purlin
Closure strips at eaves and ridges to block insects and wind infiltration
Butyl tape at horizontal laps and flashing connections
All accessories are available in the same six colors as the panels. Browse all roofing accessories →
Frequently Asked Questions
What gauge are these panels?
All panels in this category are 26 gauge painted galvanized steel, approximately 0.018 inches thick. This is the standard structural gauge for residential and light commercial applications in California.
What is the coverage width after overlap?
Each panel is 36 inches wide overall. The standard side lap is one corrugation, leaving approximately 33 inches of installed coverage per panel. Use 33 inches per panel when calculating how many panels you need.
Do you deliver to Sacramento?
Yes. We offer same-day delivery throughout the greater Sacramento area including Citrus Heights, Roseville, Folsom, Elk Grove, Rancho Cordova, and surrounding cities. Call 916-940-5700 to confirm delivery to your location.
Can these panels be used for siding or fencing?
Yes. The same 26 gauge corrugated panels used for roofing are also commonly used for metal siding, privacy fences, garden walls, and interior accent panels.
Are color-matched accessories available?
Yes. Ridge caps, 2×2 L flashing, and inside corner flashing are all available in the same six colors as the roofing panels — Dark Gray, Brown, White, Matte Black, Blue, and Forest Green.
How do I calculate how many panels I need?
Measure the roof run (eave to peak) in inches. Divide by 33 (inches of coverage per panel) and round up. For the number of rows, measure the total roof width, divide by 33 again, and round up. Multiply rows by panels per row, then add 5-10% for waste and trimming.
