PBR Panel
36" Coverage · Purlin-Bearing Rib · 26 & 24 Gauge
PBR is the panel metal building erectors reach for first. It has the same 36" coverage and 1-1/4" ribs 12" apart as R Panel, plus a purlin-bearing leg at each lap that sits flat on the purlin. That leg gives more bearing area where panels overlap and a tighter, stronger connection across the whole roof.

About this panel
Built for metal buildings
Commercial to agricultural
Warehouses, shops, retail additions, barns, pole buildings and equipment sheds all run on PBR. The 36" sheet covers a lot of roof per cut, and the same panel works as wall cladding.
Two gauges
Choose 26 gauge for most buildings, or step up to 24 gauge for longer purlin spans. 26 gauge comes in bare Galvalume or painted colors; 24 gauge comes in bare Galvalume. Both gauges are also available in Kynar 500.
