9-5 Panel Metal Panel — Lowest-Cost Roofing in Tampa, FL

9-5 Panel is FL Sheet Metal's most-ordered product — and the reason is simple: it delivers proven metal roofing performance at the lowest per-foot cost in our inventory. At $4.00/ft for 29-gauge Galvalume, there is no cheaper way to put durable, low-maintenance metal roofing on a Florida structure.

The panel's lower, narrower rib profile compared to R Panel makes it well-suited for residential applications where a sleeker roofline is preferred. Tampa Bay area homeowners re-roofing their single-family homes in Brandon, Riverview, and Valrico consistently choose 29-gauge colored 9-5 Panel in Polar White or Charcoal Grey — colors that complement Florida subdivision architecture and meet standard Hillsborough County wind code requirements.

For agricultural customers in the Plant City strawberry belt, the Ocala horse farm corridor, and rural Hillsborough County, 29-gauge Galvalume 9-5 Panel is the workhorse. Its bare Galvalume finish requires zero paint maintenance, resists fertilizer-driven corrosion, and holds up in high-humidity barn environments without the degradation that painted panels can experience over time in intensive livestock or chemical-storage buildings.

One important sizing note: the 29-gauge panel has a maximum length of 22 feet. For roof pitches requiring longer runs — a 12:12 steeply pitched gable on a 30-foot-wide building will need 21-foot panels — 9-5 Panel works perfectly. But for very wide buildings where rafter length exceeds 22 feet, we recommend our 26-gauge 9-5 Panel or 26-gauge R Panel, both of which are available in lengths to 40 feet.
