Horse shelter roofing: panels and purlins

Compare a complete shelter kit with PBR panels, Z-purlins and ridge caps for repairs, extensions and planned roofing projects.

Blacktail Corrals Updated September 12, 2026

Metal roof panels and structural purlins for loafing sheds

A complete Blacktail shelter kit includes its roof assembly. If you are repairing, extending or planning a separate roof, the roofing range includes PBR panels, Z-purlins and ridge caps.

Match replacement materials to the existing roof profile and dimensions. For a new structure, the parts list must follow a suitable roof design.

A complete roofed shelter

Compare a three-wall loafing shed, shade cover, sloped shelter or enclosed kit by its footprint and side coverage. The roof is part of the selected kit.

Confirm the supplied roof components and installation instructions with the order, particularly when the site has specific weather or permit requirements.

PBR roof panels

The range includes 26-gauge Galvalume PBR sheets in multiple lengths. The listed panel size is not a complete roof takeoff: laps, overhangs and the roof slope affect the finished coverage.

Measure along the roof plane and check the profile of adjoining sheets. Confirm the effective coverage width, fasteners and required quantity before placing the order.

Z-purlins and ridge caps

Z-purlins support the roof sheets. Compare the listed profile depth and length, then confirm spacing, spans, laps and connections against the roof design.

A ridge cap covers the meeting point of two roof planes. Match its profile and dimensions to the roof rather than treating it as another sheet.

Prepare a roofing parts list

For repairs, send the original order details, dimensions and photographs of the existing roof. For new construction, confirm the component list against the project’s structural and installation requirements.

Ask for the applicable product and coating warranty terms. Roofing sheets, purlins and ridge caps should not be assumed to carry the welded-frame lifetime warranty.

Questions before you buy

Can I order roof panels and purlins separately? Yes. The roofing catalog sells loose PBR sheets, Z-purlins and ridge caps for repairs, extensions and planned new projects. Confirm the complete takeoff and compatibility before ordering.

Should I buy a kit or separate roofing parts? Choose a complete shelter kit when its footprint and enclosure match the project. Separate materials require a complete parts list and a suitable roof design.

How do I choose a roof-panel length? Measure the roof plane and account for the intended laps and overhangs. Confirm the sheet profile, effective coverage width and required quantity with the order.

What determines Z-purlin spacing? The roof design, member profile, span, loads and connections determine the spacing. A product length alone is not an installation specification.
