Deep Roof Deck
Deep Roof Deck
(OP)
I've got a 17 foot span that I'd like to use 4.5" metal roof deck. Is this metal roof deck hard to get, or is it just as prevalent as 1.5 and 3" metal roof deck? Any premium in cost?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

I just did a 60'-100' cmu brg wall building w/ longspan jsts spaced @ 10'-6" o.c. and 3" deck and the client definitely wanted the wider spaces and the cost was about a wash one way or the other.
RE: Deep Roof Deck
So we specified the 4 1/2" deck, supported by tubes (no flanges for nests!) and plugs to go into the flute openings over the beams.
Note that with the deeper deck, you are generally working with narrow strips of deck, not 30" or 36" wide sections. So the labor is more intense as well.
