METAL

✅ Advantages:

  • Extremely durable – long lifespan with minimal maintenance

  • High strength – ideal for large spans or high-wind areas

  • Available in insulated panels – perfect for stables or warm roofs

  • Fire, rot, and pest resistant

  • Modern finishes – wide choice of RAL colours and profiles available

 

⚠ Considerations:

  • Heavier than Onduline – may require a stronger support structure

  • Can be noisier in heavy rain unless insulated

ONDULINE

✅ Advantages:

  • Lightweight – easy and quick to install

  • Cost-effective – ideal for smaller buildings and tighter budgets

  • Corrosion-resistant – won't rust or rot

  • Good UV resistance – available in several colours

  • Quiet in rainfall – naturally absorbs sound better than metal

 

⚠ Considerations:

  • Shorter lifespan compared to metal

  • Less impact resistant – can be damaged by falling branches or strong winds

  • Not ideal for very large roof spans without additional bracing

Metal Vs Onduline

Choosing the right roof for your equestrian or agricultural building is essential for long-term durability, weather resistance, and cost-effectiveness. Two of the most popular options are metal roofing and Onduline — each with its own advantages depending on your specific needs.
