I am looking at installing a metal roof over my 30 year old 12 x 50 single wide mobile home. I have the manual and it appears that the metal roof is just the standard corrugated metal roofing from the local lumberyard. I have went and check with them and they say you need a 3/12 pitch to use the corrugated metal roofing. I have been looking at the Pro Rib Steel from Menards. Is this ok to install on slightly domed roof? Will it bend and conform to the doming ok if i use it?
I planned on performing it just as I suggested in the manual.
Any other tips and suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks

I have not done a domed style, but according to Mark it will indeed take the shape. I know others here have done a domed style roof using that method. Perhaps someone that has will add their ideas.

I have not installed a mobile home roof, using corrugated metal, but I was a pole barn builder many years ago. When looking for steel roofing panels, different products will have different minimum pitch/slope requirements. Standing seam panels will offer the lowest pitch requirements and most are hidden fastener systems.
I think most metal roof panels will work on a curved mobile home roof, but I also suspect that no manufacturer is going to make that claim, precisely because of the pitch of the roof. I sell a raised panel insulated roof, which I have installed on almost flat roofs with no problems. Below is a picture showing my panels going on a curved roof. I am thinking that corrugated metal panels would relax over the curve without kinks or bends, but again, I have never done it myself.
