UNMATCHED ROOF SYSTEM

Behlen roofs are manufacturer certified to withstand 40 lbs./sq. ft. ground snow load. Gentle 30° roof pitch allows for optimum filling.

Roof panels are 3-1/2" high with four stair steps on both sides. This provides outstanding strength against snow, wind, and other loads. Roof panels are roll-formed for a precision fit.
