Reclaimed Corrugated Metal Roofing ! ...I have used a lot of reclaimed sheet metal in various projects. I used rusted sheet iron to wainscote my garage, to roof a porch and on my courtyard fence.
.....In my 24' X 50' shop, I have covered most of the walls with reclaimed corrugated roofing. In this case I turned the rusted side down and showed the aged galvanized side. Some of my materials were given to me. I removed some from buildings being torn down and bought 40 sheets at an auction, cheap. I covered the last 20' of open wall on the East side of the shop with a helper in @ 90 minutes. The materials and labor are cheaper than any product you can use.
.....The front wall and 40' down the West wall are plywood so I have one finished corner to look at.

....The best way to cut this stuff is with a skill saw blade turned backwards. Be sure to wear hearing protection (It's Loud) Saftey Glasses and gloves.
