The minimum recommended slope for any Magna-Loc roong panel is 1/2:12, where valley conditions exist the
recommended minimum slope is 3:12.
Magna-Loc is designed to be utilized over open structural framing, but can easily be used with a solid substrate.
The recommended solid substrate is
5
/8" plywood with a 30 pound felt moisture barrier. To avoid panel distor-
tion, use a properly aligned and uniform substructure.
Magna-Loc panels are available in 16" and 18" coverage with a 2" rib height.

Lengths under 5'-0" on panels with striations and lengths under 7'-0" for at or pencil ribbed panels are available with some cutting restrictions. Maximum recommended panel length is 45'-0". Longer panels require
additional consideration in packaging, shipping, and erection. Please consult your Metal Sales branch for
recommendations (see PGI-2 and 3 for locations).
Magna-Loc panels are available in 24 and 22 gauge. Minimum quantities may apply.
