peter_sto_man2 asked:
I live in the tropics , Bali fo rclarity & therefore should I increase this formula for fall due to the tropical rains?
thanks for your answers much appreciated, what I am actually trying to resolve is the option to hide a metal roof behind a facade to present a finished minimilistic square look with no roof visible, hence the lower I can keep the angle obviously the nicer things will work , keeping in mind teh 3:12 ratio & believing this will be suitable to disperse rainfall here in the tropics

I’m looking to buy a metal warehouse building. The walls and roof are dirty and need cleaning. While the structure is plenty sound, I’m wondering how safe it is to walk on the roof. I was wondering if all metal roofs are built strong enough to support a person walking on it.
For other types of roofs in colder climates, building codes specify a load capacity to hold up under snow. Here in Houston, such support does not apply. As the roof itself is very light, it doesn’t need to be very strong to shed off rain.

My roof has hard water stains, from a leaky swamp cooler. I fixed the cooler problem but now I have hard water stains on my roof. I am not sure whether to paint them or try to clean the hard water stains. I have a power washer but I am afraid it will damage the roof shingles. If I go with the paint what type should I use? Would CLR work better? any suggestions?thanx in advance!
