Metal Siding Calculator
The Metal Siding Calculator contains functions and data for computing the amounts and lengths of panels for metal (vertical) siding. This is common in agriculture buildings and pole barns.
- Metal Siding for Gable Ends: Computes the metal siding materials for a wall under a gable roof based on the dimensions. This includes the total square feet (area), number of metal screws needed, the number and length of each panel, and the cut angle for the panels.
- Metal Siding for Gable End with Door: Computes the metal siding materials for a wall under a gable roof with a large door based on the dimensions. This includes the total square feet (area), number of metal screws needed, the number and length of each panel, and the cut angle for the panels.
- Metal Siding for Wall: Computes the number of vertical panels and other metal siding materials for a rectangular wall based on the dimensions.
- Metal Siding Gambrel Wall: Computes the number and length of metal vertical siding panels for a wall under a gambrel roof based on the span, total height, and height and width of the loft and width of the panels.
- Metal for Shed (Roof and Walls): Computes the total number and length of metal panels for the roof and walls of a run-in shed based on the ridge length of the roof, the front and back heights, the width (span) of the building and the front and back overhangs.
- Pole Barn Materials: Computes the top to bottom framing, roofing and siding materials needed for a pole barn based on a few dimension.
- Pole Barn Metal Roof and Siding Cost: Estimates the linear feet of metal panels needed for a pole barn with a door way, and provides an estimated cost for the metal panels for the roof and siding based on a the dimension and cost per linear foot of panels.
These compute the number and length of panels, angles when appropriate and number of metal panel screws.
