ceiling for a pole barn

[jsmith6752]

I just saw fiberglass corrugated panels for sale online. Has anyone tried these? I have 24" on center rafters. Metal seems a little expensive for me. thanks

Will the ceiling need to support insulation? Lights?

I don't know if fiberglass panels have changed but years ago the UV light would destroy them in 10-15 years.

I haven't tried them but metal is a one & done. It would be my suggestion.

"Fiberglass roof panels can last up to 50 years with proper maintenance"

vs sheetmetal which is also good for 50+yrs and requires....no maintenance?

I wondered if these were transparent or translucent and you would see insulation, framing, etc. - maybe insects and rodents.

Not inside a building under the roof.

Thanks for your input. I really want to use metal but it's a little pricey.

I used two layers of 4x8 foil backed polystyrene. The plan is to cover it with metal later on. That way I have a ceiling and some insulation now.
