Rib Galvanized roof panels
My plan is to cover the top of my metal frame bbq shed with rib galvanized roof panels that are 2' x 6' each.
The frame of the shed has an arc to it. Do these panels have enough flex to them that I can curve them about 7-10 degrees?
thanks

When you go to the shop to buy them you can try for yourself just how flexible they are. But yes I believe you will be fine.

Its doubtful you can bend the length (6ft dimension) due to the stiffness of the ribs, but the width (the 2ft dimension) will bend.

The panels from a big box home center are pretty thin metal and bend reasonably easy. Bending with the ribs parallel to the curve will be a no brainer. If you need to bend the sheets the hard way you can use ratchet straps to pull it into shape and hold it in place while you screw it down.

I would assume you would make your curve parallel to the ribs. If you go the other way you may kink the ribs if curved too much. Curving against the ribs would require a forming machine.
