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>

Are hot water heaters good for scrap metal?

• <div><p>Since water heaters are primarily made of metal, they’re commonly accepted by scrap yards and collectors. Don’t expect to fetch a high price, though—water heaters are mostly steel and aluminum, which aren’t high-value metals. Some components are made of more valuable metals, like brass and copper, but they’re a small portion of the heater and won’t affect the price much.</p></div>

• <div><p>A few materials are most commonly used when it comes to building a frame for an outdoor kitchen: wood, steel, and concrete or brick. While there&rsquo;s no best option overall, each material is better suited to different needs. Concrete and brick are typically more customizable than other options, but aren&rsquo;t as resistant to inclement weather as steel. Wood is the most affordable pick, but it is more susceptible to rot, mildew, and heat than the others.</p></div>
