Cost of Iron Sheets in Kenya.
Iron sheets in Kenya are sold in modules of 2m, 2.5m and 3m lengths with widths of 0.85m.
Available iron sheets come in gauge 30 and 32. In the earlier years, gauge 26 iron sheets were available but currently, these have to be ordered directly from the major iron sheet manufacturer factories.
Actual fitting will also have an overlap of approximately 150 to 200mm.This reduces the actual coverage on the roof.
The lower the gauge, the thicker the iron sheet.
