Metal Roofs

In 2006, Milady and I put a metal roof on our house.  It's guaranteed for 50 years, which means I'll never replace it, and I've been very happy with it.  You can see it in the background of another project picture I took two years ago.


We've been very pleased with it.  Durable and maintenance free, it cost a bit more than a traditional shingled roof, but in our minds, it is well worth the extra cost.

Then comes this picture from Hurricane Irma, in the Caribbean.


The roof blew off, but otherwise seems undamaged.  That's a pretty good testament to the durability of steel roofs.  Your mileage may vary, but we've been really pleased with ours.

The roofs are good, the houses that were underneath them, not so much... sigh

Given the small size of those roofs, and how they appear to be square or close to (and that water is at the edge of the picture), I wonder if those were the roofs of pavilion type structures that would have had minimal supports.
