Owner Builders FAQs

How do I calculate how many roofing sheets I need?

Measure the length of each roof slope from eaves to ridge and add 50 to 100 mm for the eave overhang. Divide the width of the slope by the cover width of your chosen profile, which is 762 mm for corrugated, Trimdek and Spandek, then round up to the nearest whole sheet. Add 10 percent for waste. Our trade desk and the roof takeoff tool can do this calculation for you.
