Can anyone tell me what width and length corrugated sheet metal came in during the 1930's, 1940"s?
Thanks

I have discovered several different widths and lengths but cannot find out which ones are applicable to my time period. 3ft wide by 6,8,10,12ft long. 26 inches wide by 6 ft long. 35" wide by 6 ft long.
Then there is the issue of ripple iron sheet for siding and 10/3 for the roof. When did 8/3 and 10/3 become common in roof use?

Tar paper roofing and wood walls...but no real info on corrugated metal beyond saying that they "do it". :confused:

One of our members makes his own, and his techniques are well described in the scratch building section of this forum. Might be worth a look.

Thank you Mountain Man. Found the forum spot and it solves a problem for me in my large scale models. Thanks again

They make good roofing material but, what are the prices like? Do you know of any other company/store that provides good materials for a reasonable price. I have been using scraps from when my roofing was done as my material there's a bit left, so i'm looking to find places that are selling them for a reasonable amount.
