For example one company might sell a product as being 24 gauge but in reality the thickness of the metal could vary from 0 018 to 0 0335 based upon exactly how that company looks at things and how.
Metal as the preferred material for self storage facilities.
That thickness is measured in gauge number 26 gauge 24 gauge etc and depends on the profile of the steel metal roofing product to be used.
