CLASSIC RIB

PANELS

TARPAULIN

Please inspect panels for moisture accumulation. If moisture has formed, the panels should be unbundled, wiped dry, and

allowed to dry completely. Once dry, carefully re-stack the panels and loosely recover allowing for ample air circulation.

Bundled sheets should be stored high enough off of the ground to allow for air circulation and prevent contact with

accumulating water. Elevate one end of the bundle to allow any moisture to run off the panels. Metal Sales recommends

covering the bundle with a tarpaulin. Do not use tight tting plastic-type tarpaulins as panel bundle covers. While they may

provide protection from heavy downpours, they can also retard necessary ventilation and trap heat and moisture that may

accelerate metal corrosion. If panels are to be stored in possible bad weather, we suggest they be stored inside. Extended

storage of panels in a bundle is not recommended. Under no circumstances should the panels be stored near or come in

contact with salt water, corrosive chemicals, ash, or fumes generated or released inside the building or nearby plants,

foundries, plating works, kilns, fertilizer, and wet or green lumber.

STORAGE

GENERAL

ELEVATE END OF BUNDLE

Care of metal panels and ashings must be exercised throughout erection. Foot trafc can cause distortion of panel and

damage to nish. Trafc over the installed system must be kept to an absolute minimum. Installers should wear rubber

sole shoes to keep from scufng material while walking on the roof.

When walking on the roof panels is unavoidable, walk only in the ats of the panel. Walking on the ribs can cause

damage to the panels.
