Basics
- The use of Metal Sheeting for roofing, rather than Shingle Roof , Green Roof , or Tile Roof
- More Simple/Cheap to install than Tile Roofs, but still more durable than Shingle Roofs
- May be more durable than both, need to look into this
- Only real issue (Short of corrosion, if not using some form of coating / Anodization / Galvanization , or even just a Sacrificial Anode ) is noise when rain hits the roof, although there are noise reducing layers/strategies for this
- They can become dented by hail, although this isn't a structural issue, just an aesthetic one
- Also they are less prone to Ice dams / snow buildup due to shedding snow better (citation needed on this)

- Lay metal roofing over the wooden frame and fasten the roofing onto the wooden beams using fasteners that tighten for a water-tight, weather-resistant seal. Be sure to leave plenty of overhang (~3ft) because CEB walls are susceptible to precipitation.
