What Is Vertical Roof Style?
Here, corrugated metal panels are laid from the peak of the roof to the eaves. The ridges run perpendicular to the ground, which lets all dust, dirt, debris, rainwater, and snow slide off quickly. It requires less cleaning than other roof styles.
The vertical panels need purlins, braces, and a ridge cap to secure them from the remaining structure. This style of roof can withstand strong winds and heavy snowfall and is often certified. You will find vertical metal roofs in most metal structures that are above 30 ft. in width and commercial buildings.

Vertical steel barns offer more functional and storage space for tractors, combine harvesters, farm tools & equipment, animals, and storing hay bales. The range of applications for these structures is making them popular among farmers and ranchers across the States for dairy barns, horse barns, hog barns, and tobacco barns.
Industries other than agriculture are also finding huge value in vertical-style metal buildings for setting up manufacturing units, factories, and retail spaces. Viking Barns’ vertical roof steel barns are the most durable and strong and can easily resist external weather conditions like changing seasons, rain, snow, and winds.
Why Vertical Roof Style Barn Is Strongest Of All Barns
High Load Bearing Ability: A vertical roof can be certified to withstand high-speed winds of up to 180 mph and snow load of up to 80 pounds per sq. ft.
Wider Clear Span Design: Vertical steel roof, being lightweight, can be made up to 300 ft. wide without any internal supporting columns or walls. This gives open floor space for various farm operations like milking, creating sections, laying conveyor belts for on-farm food processing units, etc.
Less Frequent Cleaning: Due to the ridges running towards the ground, vertical metal panels slide off most dust, debris, and rainwater quickly. Since these stay on the roof for less time, the vertical-style roof requires less cleaning than others.
High Durability: Vertical panels require additional support to secure themselves on the roof. Thus, roof purlins and braces are added to the roof frame. Finally, its peak is secured with a ridge cap. This gives extra stability and durability to the roof and is one of the strong reasons to choose metal barns.
Fully Customizable: Just because you are choosing a vertical style barn doesn’t mean you will have to compromise on its look. You can add custom features like trim, lean-to, colored panels, and matching colored screws to enhance its look.
Energy Saving: You can add insulation to vertical steel roofs to reduce the loss of energy [~25% of energy is lost via roof].
Fire & Pest Resistant: The peak of the vertical barn is sealed properly using a ridge cap and sealants that keep insects or rainwater away from steel barns. Metals are non-combustible, so that they won’t catch fire easily like wood.
Eco-Friendly: Structural steel can be recycled endlessly without losing its strength. Thus, fewer of them end up in a landfill. Recycling doesn’t lead to large-scale deforestation or loss of homes for other living creatures.
