What is the weight of the roof structure?
The roof itself consists of the roof trusses, roof purlins, metal building insulation, truss bracing, roof steel and screws. While the weight can vary greatly, depending upon loading requirements, it will rarely be more than four pounds per square foot. With this said, most customers ask this question because they have concerns about unloading a truck. In most cases, our vendors will be equipped to offload materials they are delivering themselves. There do exist exceptions to this, especially in the case of large span trusses (over 40’ in width). In cases where unloading equipment will be required, the vendors will notify you in advance of necessary equipment.
