In East Texas there is a metal fabricator in every major town. I bought mine at Metal Max Texarkana, as they beat the pants off the prices in Suffing Springs, and Mt. Pleasant. They can roll out just about any style you can think of. Not sure what part of the country you are in but check out your local or closest fabricator.M and U panels are close but the ones in the photo are even the M and U are all 3/4 tall but there is a small and large rib.
thanks though the M and U may be close enough for me.
If you look closely they have a soft rubber/neoprene gasket material under the screw heads.Interesting that he's screwing them down in the trough instead of the ridge. Is that a thing? Bet it leaks like a MF
That's the way to do it, material underneath allows the screw a good seal, if put in the ridge there is the possibility of overdriving the screw making a cup in the ridge that prevents a good seal and allows water to puddle at that point.Interesting that he's screwing them down in the trough instead of the ridge.

Nah.![]()
I'm convinced that is a wall, here's why:
- camera facing nearly vertical
- maybe a promo shot and they didn't want a ladder as clutter
- cord / string of fasteners hanging near battery
- left sleeve cuff hanging
- curvature of left foot shows weight bearing
- Vaquero's link made me do it![]()
Why would it leak? Yes it’s a thing, certain manufacturers actually recommend screws to be installed there rather than the ridge. Improper installation and failure of the rubber washers are the only way it will leak.Interesting that he's screwing them down in the trough instead of the ridge. Is that a thing?
