The maximum spans for a roof panel depend on the panel’s thickness and its connection to the beam. A 3″ insulated roof panel can span up to 13′, a 4″ panel can span up to 16′, and a 6″ panel can span up to 20′. These spans are calculated to meet the wind load and uplift requirements of the Florida Building Code. Be sure to consider these span limitations when selecting your patio cover kit to ensure your project remains compliant with local codes.

Yes, use a circular or reciprocating saw equipped with a 7″ blade specifically designed for cutting aluminum. To achieve precise results, use a straight edge and marker to draw the cut line on both sides of the panel, ensuring it is straight and properly aligned with the structure.

Secure the panel securely to prevent any movement during the cutting process. Begin cutting at a low speed to minimize the risk of damaging the insulation. Take care to preserve the panel’s structural integrity as you work. After completing the cut, smooth any sharp or rough edges with a metal file for safety. Finally, clean the workspace thoroughly to remove all metal shavings and debris.
