    About this Product

    Steel roofing requires robust storage, and cubework offers the perfect solution. Its sturdy, metal construction is perfectly suited to handle the weight and potential sharp edges of these large panels. The modular design of cubework provides unparalleled flexibility – you can easily adapt the configuration to fit your specific roof panel sizes and quantities. This adaptability ensures efficient space utilization and avoids wasted space. You can quickly expand or reconfigure your storage as your needs evolve. Cubework’s individual bays provide secure stacking and protection, preventing damage during handling and storage. Furthermore, the units’ inherent stability and strong frames make them ideal for supporting the weight of steel roofing effectively. It’s a practical and cost-effective way to organize and protect your valuable roofing materials.
