What is metal roof gauging?

• <div><p>When choosing a metal roof, consider not only the area of the roof but also the thickness of the panel, known as the gauge. Common <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/metal-roofing-gauges.htm">roofing gauge sizes</a> for metal roofs are 24-gauge and 26-gauge. The smaller the gauge size, the thicker the roof. Usually, a thicker gauge is ideal if your house is in an area that sees a lot of rain, snow, or hail, as it will be less likely to dent.</p></div>

Q: What is corrugated metal?

• <div><p>Corrugated metal has been pressed so that it has alternating ridges or grooves. Metal that has undergone this process becomes incredibly strong, with some of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of any material. It's lightweight and has an increased surface area when compared to a flat sheet of metal. Both of these attributes contribute to its coveted strength. It's used for fencing because it's weather- and impact-resistant, rarely needs maintenance, and lasts many years&mdash;for a relatively low cost. </p></div>

Q: What materials are commonly used in sheet metal repairs?

• <div><p>Common materials used include aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized steel, and copper, each selected for their properties suited to specific repair needs.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to hire a metal fabrication professional?

• <div><p>Professional metal fabricators usually charge around <b>$70 per hour</b>. Three of the largest cost factors are the size and complexity of the project and the price of materials. The type of metal can impact the cost as much as the intricacy of the metal fabrication you want done. Another cost factor is your geographic location, as labor and materials can vary widely depending on the cost of living where you live. </p></div>

Q: Can I do my own welding?

• <div><p>You should not do your own welding unless you have the proper training and experience. Most home electrical systems can only handle MIG welding, which creates weaker bonds than TIG welding and won&rsquo;t work on certain metals or metal thicknesses. Both welding forms usually require the use of shielding gas, which can be dangerous to store at home. Additionally, welding machines create temperatures of over 3,000 degrees, and the sparks can blind you if you don&rsquo;t have the proper equipment. As such, it&rsquo;s usually better to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-things-consider-when-hiring-welder.htm">hire a professional welder</a> for your welding projects.</p></div>
