About Our Metal Z Purlins
Our metal Z purlins provide strong, reliable support for a wide range of roofing projects, giving you a durable framework that is easy to work with and built to last. Manufactured to your required lengths, they help reduce waste on-site and offer a straightforward installation process, whether you choose our punched or unpunched profiles.
Each purlin is made from high-quality structural grade Z39 galvanised steel, giving excellent strength and corrosion resistance for long-term performance. Their 1.8mm thickness offers impressive load-bearing capability, making them an ideal choice for flat or low-sloping roofs where structural support is a priority. Compared to traditional timber, Z purlins provide increased durability, reduced weight, and better cost efficiency.

Fixing Guidance
Purlins can be installed either punched or unpunched, depending on your project needs. Punched purlins include holes suitable for sag bars to provide additional support across the span. Use purlin sleeves to connect two lengths securely, and choose weld or bolt-on purlin cleats when fixing purlins to rafters.
For detailed installation steps and recommended fixings, refer to the purlin installation guide. Additional tips and support can also be found on our Help & Advice page.

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.
Please do not travel to site without a confirmed collection time, as we cannot guarantee your order will be available.
Once your items are ready, you will receive an email with a link to book your collection slot. Please note, same-day collections are not available and bookings must be made at least two hours in advance.
When you arrive, please bring your order confirmation and follow the signage to the collection area where a member of our team will assist you.
