Cleader Rail for Purlins – 50mm x 50mm x 3m, Galvanised Steel
L-shaped galvanised steel cleader angle (50mm x 50mm x 3m) designed for use on roof purlins. It creates a secure fixing face for vertical cladding systems and tidies exposed gable-end details. Made from 1.5mm corrosion-resistant steel and suitable for fixing to the top or underside of the purlins.
Also known as a cleader angle, this L-shaped galvanised steel profile is designed to create a clean, secure fixing face at gable ends. The 50mm x 50mm x 3m cleader rail provides a reliable edge detail where vertical cladding or sheeting meets the end of the roof, helping ensure a neat finish and a stable fixing point. Made from 1.5mm galvanised steel, it offers strong resistance to corrosion and is suitable for both domestic and commercial roofing applications.
This profile is commonly used alongside roof purlins, where it helps tidy exposed purlin ends and improves the overall appearance of the gable edge. Its simple, robust shape means it can be fixed to either the top or underside of the purlins, depending on the sheeting layout or the detail required at the gable. The rail provides a straight and consistent surface for attaching vertical cladding systems such as composite or fibre cement panels, helping maintain alignment and a professional-looking finish.
Manufactured from high-quality galvanised steel, the cleader rail is built for long-term outdoor performance. The galvanised coating protects the steel from rust and weathering, making it a dependable choice for exposed rooflines. At just under 3kg per length, it is easy to handle on site while still providing the strength needed for secure fixing.
For installation, we recommend using screws for light steel. These allow for a firm hold through the 1.5mm steel and into the purlins beneath. When fitting multiple lengths, leave a 6mm gap between joints to allow for thermal expansion and movement. Jointing cleats are not supplied, so installers will need to create their own joining method if required.
This profile can be used as part of a wider roofing system, complementing items such as flashings, sheeting, and gable trims. If you’re planning a full installation, you may also find our Help & Advice section useful for guidance on fixing methods and best practice.

Customer Collection Notice
Please ensure you have pre-booked your collection slot before travelling to site.
When arriving to collect your order, please report to a member of our Warehouse Team who will register your arrival and locate your goods. Once ready, your items will be picked and brought to your vehicle loading area.
During busy periods, there may be a short wait while our yard team assist other customers or complete other loading tasks. We always do our best to work within your booked collection time.
We respectfully draw your attention to the following important points:
- Loading is ultimately the customer’s responsibility. While our team can assist with mechanical loading using forklifts, we cannot handball items into enclosed vehicles. Customers must ensure their vehicle is suitable and that goods are safely loaded and adequately secured before leaving the premises.
- Sharp sheeting, metal goods, and long/heavy items may pose additional handling risks. Please come prepared with high-quality protective gloves, and any appropriate protection materials to avoid damage to your vehicle or restraints (e.g. ropes or straps). The edges of roofing sheets and metal products can be extremely sharp, and care should be taken when handling.
- We strongly recommend that customers bring their own straps, ropes, or other securing materials, as we are unable to provide these at the point of collection.
- If you are unsure of your vehicle’s load capacity, we can advise the approximate weight of your order in advance. It is your responsibility to ensure your vehicle is suitable for transporting the goods safely and legally.
- Cladco will not be held liable for any damage to your vehicle or goods once they have been loaded and leave our premises. Loading assistance is provided entirely at the customer’s own risk.
Click & Collect – Pre-Booking Required
You are welcome to collect your order from either our Okehampton (Devon) or Andover (Hampshire) site. All collections must be pre-booked in advance so your items can be picked, packed and ready for you.
