Metal panel rust near the base isn’t just cosmetic, it could be the result of improper installation. If your panels sit too close to soil or stone, moisture can collect and eat away at the coating. The Galvalume warranty even excludes damage from ground contact, wet lumber, and poor drainage. Avoid costly repairs by keeping panels at least 6 to 18 inches off the ground, using base angle or treated skirt board, and adding a barrier like Post & Peel. #metalroofingpa #cumberlandsupply #postframebui
