hi guys and gals this is a little out of the ord. but we need the panels for our fire house storage barn steel structure it has panels that have raised ridges that are 7 1/2 apart on center can"t find them anywhere these are the the panels that let the light in if anyone knows where these can be bought let me know please the build was built back in the 80"s any ideas greatly appreciated thanks
 
Can you use the clear ridge cap? It works with any panel configuration and is not so dangerous to foot traffic on the roof.
 
It could be obsolete material or profile (looking at the skylight panel in section) We have the same problem in our oldest barn, and had to be creative to get an overlap joint with sealant that works or holds up, these are a maintenance issue or can be, leaks, wind etc. The ones we have are a green fiborous, opaque kind of panel that you can't see through, but lets light in, these and even the new ones we put in are very brittle, personally I don't like em, they are a source of leaks, but free light ..... always a snag to consider.

This section being rebuilt has the old aluminum panels (peeled up and far left) that match the old green ones which are mostly gone now anyway. Cannot find this profile anymore.

This website has polycarbonate panels (looks similar in ridge-style to our steel roofing)... when you click on the "brochure" link at the website below it shows a 7.5 inch spacing between 1.5 inch tall ridges, and says it comes in WHITE, CLEAR, or SOLAR CONTROL not sure how transparent it is. 47-7/8 inches wide, and 38 feet long.

Also, Fiberglasssheets.com (Sequentia Products)also shows some, but does not specify height of ridges or the space between them.

Or google "fiberglass roof panels", or "translucent roof panels".
