If your impression of corrugated metal is that it belongs on a barn roof, take another look. Lightweight and inexpensive, new or salvaged, corrugated steel and aluminum sheets are finding a variety of practical and decorative applications in the hands of creative do-it-yourselfers.
Known for its wavy or ridged texture, corrugated metal has a long history as a construction material. This sheet metal lasts a long time—in the ballpark of 40 to 70 years.
It remains corrosion-resistant for years, and it lasts even longer when it’s not exposed to the elements.
Other perks of this versatile and visually appealing material include eco-friendliness (many types are recyclable), low maintenance, and durability.
Given corrugated metal’s many attractive qualities, DIYers have been using the material for a variety of home projects.
