Gauge
| Gauge | Bare Steel Thickness (in) | Weight (lbs/sq ft) | Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| 22 | 0.0295 | 1.6 | Light-duty roofing and small spans. |
| 20 | 0.0358 | 2 | Medium spans, roofing, and siding. |
| 18 | 0.0474 | 2.6 | Heavy-duty applications. |
| 16 | 0.0598 | 3 | Heavy load spans. |
The Type F deck is available in a range of gauges, including 22, 20, 18, and 16. These gauges offer varying thicknesses and load capacities to suit specific project needs. Thinner gauges (22 and 20) are lightweight and cost-effective, ideal for shorter spans and lighter loads. Thicker gauges (18 and 16) provide enhanced structural strength and can support longer spans and heavier loads, making them perfect for demanding applications.
Finish
| Finish Type | Details |
|---|---|
| Galvanized G60 | Zinc coating of 0.6 oz/ft². Recommended for general environments. |
| Galvanized G90 | Zinc coating of 0.9 oz/ft². Ideal for highly corrosive environments. |
