The building is a post-frame construction. I actually have the entire roof
covered with steel roofing. Two primary reasons: 1. Durability. It ain't
going to wear out anytime soon. 2. Style. It helps keep the intended
"feel" of the building as a "joint"---- a place where folks can come just as
they are. The sides and back of the building are also covered with steel.
