These can be made with or without windows, with the sheeting in a horizontal plane, vertical plane or herringbone which is a 45 degree angle. They can be made as a wraparound style using a flashing for the sides or on a steel frame dependant on the size and rigidity required.

These can be made of steel, Zincalume, painted steel, i.e. colour steel or powder coated to give a greater range of colours for you to choose from.
