The crew of Heritage Goodhew Enterprises from Ridgeville, Ind. deftly maneuvers the heights as they install the “standing seam” metal roof on the round barn at the fairgrounds. According to Greentown Lion, Denny Maple, the metal roof option was chosen over the original wood shingles for maintenance considerations.
The 20 inch wide metal strips are cut onsite, tapering to 10.5 to 12 inches at the top. It will take 110 strips to cover the lower level of the roof and about 70 on the top tier. The strips are made of galvanized steel with a baked enamel covering. The technique used to install the roof is the same as when the company began in the 1950's.
